Vulnerability Mangement Specialist

Please note a full application including a covering letter detailing your experience alongside a CV is required for applications to be considered. Please be advised applications made without providing a cover letter will not be accepted.

Cyber Security is more critical than ever, with organisations facing an evolving landscape of threats and growing compliance demands. At Canterbury Christ Church University, we take security extremely seriously with a dedicated team and a university wide focus.

We’re looking for a Vulnerability Management Specialist to join our Cyber Security Analysts, Architects and Engineers. In this role, you’ll work closely with both technical colleagues and business stakeholders to identify, prioritise and remediate vulnerabilities across our estate.

Using industry-standard vulnerability scanning tools and endpoint management platforms, you’ll help improve system configurations, apply patches and drive automation to strengthen our overall security posture.

How will you work?

We are committed to supporting flexible methods of working wherever possible. Campus attendance will vary on a day-to-day basis and across the year, but must purposefully align to the needs of our students, staff, and stakeholders.

It is expected that there will be a relatively even balance between time spent on and off campus, but in most cases the work location will be determined by the service required or the tasks/activities being undertaken.
