You will be responsible for creating, implementing, and maintaining security content such as rules, playbooks, dashboards, and reports for our security systems.

This role requires a strong understanding of security best practices, and experience working with enterprise security platforms within a SOC environment. You will join the Information Security team and use your experience to provide technical guidance and mentorship to the existing team members.


You'll help keep our systems safe by setting up security alerts, improving threat detection, and automating incident response. Managing logs and ensuring our most important assets are protected will be part of your daily tasks.

You'll monitor security threats, analyze patterns, and proactively hunt for risks. By using advanced tools, you’ll detect unusual activities and strengthen security across our network. You'll also help manage endpoint security, check system health, and work with our infrastructure team to keep everything running smoothly.


Incident Response & Prevention -

When security incidents happen, you’ll investigate, assess the impact, and take action to contain threats. You'll also work on automating routine tasks to speed up our response times. From start to finish, you’ll oversee cybersecurity incidents, document findings, and suggest improvements.


Security Testing & Business Support -

You’ll take part in cyber-attack simulations, penetration testing, and security drills to make sure our defines are strong. You'll also help identify critical business assets and suggest ways to keep them safe.


What would we like from you?

We’re looking for someone with 4-6 years of experience in cybersecurity and hands-on knowledge of Microsoft Azure, Entra ID, Defender XDR, Azure Sentinel, Cloudflare, and Mimecast.


You should also be comfortable working with security tools like firewalls, IDS, WAF, DLP, IAM, and MFA across platforms such as Windows, Linux, VMware, and AKS.

Strong communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and a proactive mindset are key. If you love learning and staying ahead of security threats, we want to hear from you!


What can we do for you?

The majority of this role will be remote (Hybrid) but will require some travel to our bright and modern offices in Welwyn Garden City and occasional travel to our Liverpool Love2shop office.

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising cyber security jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.

Penetration Tester Jobs in the UK: What Employers Actually Want in 2026

The demand for skilled professionals in cyber security has never been higher, and penetration testers sit at the very heart of this rapidly evolving industry. As organisations across the UK continue to digitise their operations, protect sensitive data, and defend against increasingly sophisticated threats, the need for ethical hackers has grown dramatically. If you are considering a career in this field—or looking to advance within it—it is essential to understand what employers are really looking for in 2026. This guide breaks down the current expectations, required skills, certifications, and practical experience that can help you stand out in a competitive job market.
