We're not trying to fit in with the higher education status quo. We're challenging it. We're doing things differently - because our students, our staff, and our world need us to.

So this is an exciting moment to join us. We're boldly reimagining what a university can be: a place rooted in social mobility, a community where difference is celebrated, and an institution that empowers people to become more than they thought possible.

Buckinghamshire New University is seeking a proactive and ambitious Information Security Officer to help shape and strengthen our information security and compliance programme. Working within the Information Assurance team, you will play a key role in protecting the University's information assets, managing security risks, and embedding a strong security culture across the organisation.

You will lead the continual improvement of our Information Security Management System (ISMS), support the management of security incidents, drive compliance activities, and develop information security policies, standards and controls. You will also contribute to strategic projects, maintain oversight of information security risks and assets, and provide expert advice to colleagues to ensure security is embedded in decision-making and service delivery.

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a university committed to transforming lives through education. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and are committed to an inclusive and supportive workplace.

• a generous holiday entitlement (35/30 days per annum, plus bank holidays & closure days)
• Hybrid working (dependent on business needs)
• training & development support opportunities
• contributory pension scheme
• free gym membership for our on-site gym
• a range of staff discounts with major retailers.

If you have the qualities and attributes representative of the University's values and ambition, we would be delighted to hear from you.
