Head of Cyber Security

Head of Cyber Security

This brand-new role sits at the heart of our Technology Services team, reporting directly to the Assistant Director of Technology. As our services evolve and expand, we need an expert voice to lead on all aspects of cyber security and ensure our defences are as smart and adaptive as the threats we face.

This is a strategic opportunity to shape the approach to cyber resilience from the ground up, while working closely with colleagues across all functions to keep our systems, data and services safe.

You’ll be the organisation’s go-to expert on cyber threats, guiding our response to evolving risks and ensuring we're ready for anything. You’ll be a visible, trusted leader who not only defines our cyber security strategy but also brings it to life across the organisation. Whether supporting senior leaders, collaborating with peers across IT and operations, or building awareness among staff, your influence will reach far and wide.

You will need to have held technical cyber positions in previous roles and be and experienced, confident leader with deep expertise in cyber security.

You’ll bring:

• Proven experience leading cyber security or resilience functions at an enterprise level.
• Strong knowledge of current and emerging cyber threats, technologies and regulatory requirements.
• The ability to make the complex simple—translating technical detail into meaningful action and advice.
• Experience with frameworks such as ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, NIST, and robust incident management.
• Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or equivalent.
• A collaborative mindset and a proactive approach to risk—balancing security with the needs of a modern, service-driven organisation.
• You don’t need to have all the answers on day one, but you do need the curiosity, resilience and leadership to shape our future.
