If you're ready to grow your career while making a meaningful impact, we’d love to hear from you.

What it's like to work here

Reporting to the Information Security Manager, you’ll join a supportive, security-focused IT team committed to strengthening our security posture. We actively support professional development, encouraging certifications and hands-on experience that benefit both you and the Trust.
Your contractual location will be our head office in Swindon and there’ll be an expectation for you to attend the office. However, there’s flexibility on where you’re based at other times. You’ll be required to work at a National Trust location for 40-60% of your working week. This will be discussed in more detail at interview.

As an Information Security Officer, you’ll help embed good security practices across the Trust, supporting teams to understand governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), manage risks and maintain accurate, secure information.
You’ll help deliver security initiatives, working with IT, project teams, and suppliers to ensure our standards are met. This is a varied role where you’ll help shape a strong security culture by raising awareness, delivering training and supporting our mission to protect people, places, and data.

  • awareness of third-party security, including supporting due diligence and supplier assurance
  • strong communication skills and the confidence to engage with teams and support security awareness
  • familiarity with incident response, including assisting with investigations and follow-up actions
  • a proactive, detail-focused approach and a desire to learn in a supportive, evolving environment



The package

The National Trust has the motto ‘For everyone, for ever’ at its heart. We’re working hard to create an inclusive culture, where everyone feels they belong. It’s important that our people reflect and represent the diversity of the communities and audiences we serve.
