Security Engineer

As Security Engineer, you will help protect our systems, data and services. You will manage and improve security across our Microsoft cloud environment, including Azure, Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Defender and Purview.

You will lead technical investigations into security incidents, work closely with our Security Operations Centre and help address threats and vulnerabilities. You will also assess the security of new services, suppliers and system changes before they go live

We are looking for someone with strong experience in cloud security, identity, data protection and incident response. You will need sound judgement, good analytical skills and the ability to explain security risks and recommendations clearly to technical and non-technical colleagues.

At The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, we make final decisions on complaints that have not been resolved by UK Government departments and the NHS in England. We work closely with people to understand where, how and why public services sometimes fall short and fail to put people first. We share findings from our casework to help Parliament scrutinise public service providers. We also share our findings more widely to help drive improvements in public services and complaint handling.

Our culture is open, friendly and supportive. We listen, we learn, and we treat everyone with dignity and respect. Inclusion and wellbeing are at the heart of how we work, and we strive to create a workplace where every colleague feels valued, supported and able to thrive.

We work in a modern, flexible way built on trust and autonomy. You will split your time between working from home and spending around 40% of your week in our Manchester office where collaboration and connection with your team are an important part of how we work.
