Graduate Information Security Officer

Job Description

Bristol or Sheffield – Hybrid (2 days in office)

Salary: Circa £30,000 per annum + great benefits package

Full-time, permanent

Are you passionate about cybersecurity and ready to kickstart your career in information security? We’re looking for a Graduate Information Security Officer to join our dynamic team and help protect the systems, data, and services that power SBS and our customers.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a recent graduate or someone early in their career to gain hands-on experience, develop their skills, and grow within an established information security function. You’ll work alongside experienced professionals and receive mentoring and support to help you build a rewarding and impactful career in cyber and information security.

What will you be doing?

You’ll get involved in a wide range of activities, such as:

• Supporting the monitoring and investigation of security events and incidents.
• Learning how to identify and assess information security risks.
• Helping to update and maintain security policies, procedures, and documentation.
• Assisting with internal and external audits (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC1).
• Contributing to responses to customer security questionnaires and due diligence.
• Keeping up to date with emerging cybersecurity threats and trends.
• Supporting awareness and education activities to build a strong security culture across the business.

Qualifications

What are we looking for?

We’re not expecting you to be an expert yet – we’re looking for someone who’s curious, committed to learning, and ready to grow into the role. Ideally, you’ll have:

• A degree in Cybersecurity, Information Security, Computer Science, or a related field – or equivalent practical experience or self-taught knowledge.
• A genuine interest in information security and the desire to develop a career in the field.
• Some understanding of cloud computing concepts (AWS knowledge is a bonus!).
• Familiarity with information security principles and standards like ISO 27001 or GDPR (don’t worry – we’ll help you learn more!).
• Strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex topics clearly.
• A proactive mindset and a willingness to ask questions, solve problems, and keep learning.

Don't meet every single requirement? That's okay, and you aren't alone! Research shows that women and people of colour are less likely to apply for a role unless they meet all the criteria. We're committed to building a diverse, inclusive team where everyone feels they belong. So if this role excites you and you're eager to grow, we'd love to hear from you - even if your experience doesn't tick every box just yet, send us your application!
