Continuous Improvement jobs in Gran Bretaña

Cyber security is at the heart of everything we do at Enfield Council. As an Information Cyber Security Analyst, you will play a pivotal role in safeguarding our systems, data, and services against evolving threats. This is not just about monitoring alerts—it's about being proactive, strategic, and hands‑on in protecting critical infrastructure that supports thousands of residents.

You will be responsible for the day‑to‑day operational security of council systems, applications, and networks. This includes configuring and managing security tools, conducting vulnerability assessments, and ensuring compliance with recognised frameworks such as ISO27001, NIST, and Cyber Essentials. You'll work closely with our Operations and Architecture team to embed security best practices across projects and business‑as‑usual activities.

Your role will involve:

• Threat Detection and Response: Using Microsoft Sentinel and Defender to monitor, analyse, and respond to incidents swiftly and effectively.
• Risk and Compliance: Performing audits, risk assessments, and ensuring adherence to GDPR and data protection regulations.
• Technical Expertise: Managing privilege account systems and endpoint security solutions, as well as supporting cloud security in Azure and M365 environments.
• Continuous Improvement: Researching emerging technologies, testing new security tools, and contributing to initiatives that strengthen our cyber resilience.
• Collaboration: Acting as a trusted advisor to colleagues, providing guidance on security implications of business changes, and deputising for the Senior Security Manager when required.

This is a dynamic role where no two days are the same. You'll need to balance operational priorities with strategic projects, often under tight deadlines, and occasionally provide out‑of‑hours support to maintain service continuity.

You will be expected to attend the Civic Centre for a minimum of two days per week, subject to business priorities.

• Degree in Information Security or equivalent experience.
• Minimum 3 years in a cyber security role with relevant certifications (e.g., CEH, CCSP, CySA+).
