Vulnerability Management Specialist

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 are reaffirming our commitment to robust Cyber Security by expanding the Digital Security team with this new role.

We’re looking for a Vulnerability Management Specialist to join our existing Cyber Security Analysts. 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.

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.

Canterbury Christ Church University is located in the world famous Cathedral city amongst stunning history and heritage. Canterbury is a thriving international destination, with many students and staff choosing to study and work here, making this historic, cosmopolitan city vibrant and culturally diverse.

Our staff enjoy competitive salaries and a great working environment with a number of benefits ranging from the occupational pension scheme to use of the University’s facilities including the library and fitness centre.

We offer generous holiday entitlements plus eight bank and public holidays, as well as discretionary days over the Christmas period.

Start date for applications: 23rd of July 2025
Closing date for applications: 10th of August 2025
Interviews are to be held: To be confirmed shortly after closing
