We are one of the UK's most respected charities, known for transforming lives through mobility, independence and inclusion. As we continue to strengthen our cybersecurity posture, we're investing in advanced endpoint protection to safeguard our people, data and services. This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a mission-critical deployment, where your expertise will directly impact the resilience of systems that support thousands of service users.

Your new role

As Security Engineer, you'll lead the deployment and optimisation of CrowdStrike Falcon across the organisation, ensuring endpoints are protected, and threat detection is fully operational.

From initial rollout to post-deployment tuning, you'll be the go-to expert driving success in this critical project.

What you'll need to succeed
You're a seasoned security engineer with proven experience deploying CrowdStrike at least 3 times in enterprise environments. You have deep technical knowledge of endpoint security, EDR tools and threat detection workflows. Strong troubleshooting and configuration skills are essential, along with the ability to work independently and communicate effectively with stakeholders. Familiarity with other security frameworks and Microsoft environments is a plus.

What you'll get in return
This is a contract with purpose. Alongside a competitive daily rate, you'll gain the flexibility of remote working, the autonomy to lead a high-impact deployment and the chance to make a real difference in a respected organisation delivering services that change lives.

Maths for Cyber Security Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for cyber security jobs in the UK it can feel like “real security people” must be brilliant at maths. The reality is simpler: most roles do not need degree-level pure maths. What they do need is confidence with a small set of practical topics that show up repeatedly in day-to-day work across SOC, incident response, cloud security, AppSec, threat detection, IAM & security engineering. This guide strips the maths down to what actually helps you get hired. It includes a 6-week learning plan plus portfolio projects you can publish to prove the skills. You will focus on: Number systems & bitwise thinking (binary, hex, bytes, XOR) Modular arithmetic basics (enough to understand how modern crypto “works”) Probability & statistics for detection, triage & risk Discrete maths for logic, sets, graphs & complexity Security maths habits: estimation, false positive control & evidence-led reporting You will not waste time on heavy theory that rarely appears in junior or mid-level cyber security roles.

Neurodiversity in Cyber Security Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Cyber security is all about thinking like an attacker, spotting unusual patterns, protecting systems & responding calmly when everything looks like it’s on fire. It’s a discipline built on curiosity, persistence & noticing things other people miss. That’s exactly why it can be such a good fit for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a security role. In reality, the traits that can make traditional office work tough often line up beautifully with cyber security work – from hyperfocus in incident response to meticulous analysis in threat hunting. This guide is written for cyber security job seekers in the UK. We’ll look at: What neurodiversity means in a cyber context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to different security roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence during applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in cyber security – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine superpower.
