Job description

Evalian is a UK based consultancy specialising in cyber security, penetration testing, data protection and ISO compliance. We are excited to be expanding our cyber security offering to encompass managed security services, specialising in security monitoring, threat detection, and response. As we expand, we are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic SOC Analyst to join our team and help protect our customers from cyber threats. This is an entry-level role, perfect for someone passionate about cybersecurity who wants to build a career in security operations.

This is a fantastic role for someone with a passion for cybersecurity who wants to build a career in security operations, working in a dedicated night shift position on a 4 on / 4 off rotation.

The Role

As a Night Shift L1 SOC Analyst, you will be part of our 24 / 7 security operations capability. You will act as the first line of defence for our customers, monitoring security alerts, triaging potential threats, and escalating incidents when necessary. Working nights means you will be a critical part of ensuring continuous protection for our customers outside of business hours.

Responsibilities

• Develop a deep understanding of our current and future customers, understanding their challenges, needs and wants.
• Monitor security alerts from SIEM, EDR, and other security tooling.
• Analyse and triage security events, determining their severity and impact.
• Escalate incidents to senior analysts or engineers as required.
• Document findings, incidents, and actions taken in ticketing systems.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying recurring issues and suggesting detection or process improvements.

Skills and qualifications

Essential

• A strong interest in cybersecurity and a willingness to learn.
• Basic knowledge of operating systems and security principles.
• Familiarity with Windows, Linux, or cloud environments (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud).
• Have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• A team player who thrives in being hands on.
• Be organised and self-disciplined with the ability to meet deadlines.

Desirable (Not required but a plus)

• Any cybersecurity certifications (e.g. CompTIA Security+, Microsoft SC-200, or similar).
• Experience with SIEM tools, EDR solutions.
• Self-study or personal cybersecurity projects (e.g. home lab, TryHackMe, Hack the Box).

What we offer

• Guided internal training and industry standard certifications.
• Exposure to real-world cybersecurity incidents and hand‑on experience.
• Opportunities for career growth within our SOC team.
• Flexible work environment.

The package

The salary will depend on your experience and qualifications but will be in the range of £27,000 - £32,000 plus benefits.

Employees get 20 days of annual leave per year plus your birthday day off and access to our pension scheme. Benefits include private medical insurance, dental cashback, optical cashback and life insurance cover.

Shift pattern: 4 nights on, 4 nights off (12‑hour shifts).

Location and minimum requirements

The role will initially be home‑based while we transition to a new office location that can support a 24 / 7 operation. Candidates should therefore live within reasonable travel distance of Winchester, as the role will move to being office‑based once the new office is established.

When working from home, you must maintain a dedicated, secure workspace and a reliable internet connection.

You will be required to attend the current Winchester office for initial training and induction (approximately 4–6 weeks).

Once the new office is operational, the role will primarily be office‑based to support collaboration, training, and team culture.

From time to time, you may be required to attend client sites, company offices, or events. Reasonable notice will be provided, and travel expenses will be reimbursed.

We are committed to encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion among our workforce, and eliminating unlawful discrimination.
