Overview of the role
Phoenix enables digital transformation in the workplace, empowering UK organisations to innovate and transform with cloud and hybrid infrastructures, data, AI, security, and collaboration tools. We are now very excited to be hiring a Security Engineer who will be responsible for the ongoing maintenance and day-to-day running of the Phoenix IT security posture. In this role, you will be working alongside the rest of the Internal Infrastructure team and liaising with the SOC Team, reporting to the Infrastructure & Security Manager.

What will you be doing?

  1. Monitor the internal network, server, and client estate, as well as externally provided IT services, including potential involvement with our customer-facing environments for security issues.
  2. Maintain and manage the company’s IT security systems, including patching and vulnerability management.
  3. Identify security weaknesses in line with IT industry developments and implement improvements.
  4. Monitor and manage backups, resolving any issues that may occur.
  5. Implement IT equipment and services, working with various teams within the organisation.
  6. Create, maintain, and improve technical documentation.
  7. Maintain and ensure compliance with accreditation schemes and policies such as Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO27001, ISO22301, etc.

Why should you apply?
At Phoenix, our philosophy is simple – we aim to be the UK’s leading IT solution and managed service provider and that means we recognise that it’s our people who are the heart of everything we do. We do this by providing the encouragement, support, and skill development that you need to be the very best you can be at work. We are proud of our culture, so much so that we have developed our Culture Blueprint which you can read.

What are we looking for?
The right person for this role will already be in a hands-on technical role within a similar MSP environment with a strong and well-rounded set of technical abilities. This role is not suitable for somebody newly qualified or seeking their first role in cyber security.

Key Skills:

  1. Good knowledge of Operational Security systems and procedures.
  2. Experience and knowledge working with an ITSM tool.
  3. Understanding of ISO27001, ISO20000, ISO22301, ISO14001, and ISO9001 standards.
  4. Understanding of ITIL.
  5. Strong attention to detail in logging/updating support tickets and technical documentation.

  7. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate with other teams and departments.

Practical stuff
Where is the role based?

You can read about the benefits on offer.

Have you made it this far?
If you’re still reading, we think there’s a strong chance you might be our kind of person. Here’s the thing, though — research suggests that 60% of women and underrepresented people might have already talked themselves out of applying. Even if you don’t check every box above, we want to encourage you to introduce yourself.
We believe a diversity of perspectives and experiences makes a team stronger — and the stronger our team, the more successful we will be.

Contract vs Permanent Cybersecurity Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Cybersecurity has become one of the fastest-growing and most crucial fields in modern business. With high-profile breaches dominating headlines and the ongoing digital transformation exposing organisations to new threats, companies across the UK are competing to attract skilled cybersecurity professionals. Roles range from penetration testers (pen testers) and SOC (Security Operations Centre) analysts to compliance officers, cloud security architects, threat intelligence analysts, and CISOs (Chief Information Security Officers). As demand continues to surge, cybersecurity salaries have climbed accordingly, and businesses have turned to more flexible hiring practices. Alongside permanent employment, many professionals explore short-term day‑rate contracting or fixed-term contracts (FTCs), searching for the ideal balance of pay, job security, and growth opportunities. Which arrangement truly pays better in 2025—and which best aligns with your ambitions? In this article, we dive into the contract vs. permanent debate with a focus on cybersecurity roles. We will examine the current market, the structure of day‑rate vs. FTC vs. permanent positions, the pros and cons of each, and some hypothetical pay comparisons. By the end, you should have a clearer sense of which career path might suit your situation and goals—whether you are a seasoned specialist aiming for top rates, or an up-and-coming analyst seeking a stable environment to develop in.

Cyber Security Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Defence Needs More Than Hackers in Hoodies When headlines warn of ransomware crippling hospitals or deepfakes swaying elections, we picture hoodie‑clad hackers and elite penetration testers. Yet the reality of the UK’s cyber security sector is broader—and desperately short of talent. The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT) estimates a shortfall of 11,200 cyber security professionals in 2024, while 43 % of advertised roles require governance, risk or communication skills rather than hands‑on technical exploits. Put plainly: if you can guide policy, manage projects, interpret regulations or inspire behaviour change, cyber security wants you. This guide highlights the fastest‑growing non‑technical roles, the transferable skills you already possess, and a concrete 90‑day plan to land a cyber security job—no packet sniffers required.
