Job Details

Physical Security Advisor

Central London (with a requirement to travel in the UK and potentially abroad)

£53,349 - £57,525 (depending on relevant skills and experience)

Robust, responsive, resilient: make sure UK infrastructure is ready for anything.

The Centre for Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) helps to keep the country safe. Our role is to reduce the vulnerability of national infrastructure, from health, finance and transport, to energy, food and water. As a Physical Security Advisor, you’ll help industry and government guard against threats, ensuring vital national infrastructure is protected and can support the UK.

It’s an opportunity to make your knowledge and influence count in a vital and unique role. When organisations contact CPNI, you’ll visit them and inspect their infrastructure. Using your expert skills, you’ll highlight vulnerabilities and make recommendations. Our clients operate in a world of changing markets and priorities, so you’ll need to exert all your influence to ensure they act on your advice.

To make an impact from day one, you’ll need sound technical expertise covering physical or protective security, along with knowledge of CPNI. You’ll also need the communication skills to present technical advice both in person and on paper. It’s crucial that you can explain what’s wrong – and why it needs to change. Your ability to express yourself should come with courage and conviction, as organisations may need persuasion to instigate change. Though you’ll have a robust personal presence, you’ll also have the flexibility to learn and adapt. It’s important you can adjust quickly as threats change and evolve.

Keeping the country safe is a complex job, which is why we’re dedicated to giving you a great work-life balance. Plus, you’ll take advantage of impressive training and have the opportunity to gain professional qualifications. It’s not only a chance to develop your skills – it’s an opportunity to build a career.

We particularly welcome applications from women and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates.

To find out more and apply, please visit our website via the apply button.

To apply to CPNI you must be a born or naturalised British citizen, over 18 years of age and normally have lived in the UK for nine of the last ten years. You should not discuss your application, other than with your partner or a close family member, providing that they are British. They should also be made aware of the importance of discretion.

Company

The role of MI5, as defined in the Security Service Act 1989, is "the protection of national security and in particular its protection against threats such as terrorism, espionage and sabotage, the activities of agents of foreign powers, and from actions intended to overthrow or undermine parliamentary democracy by political, industrial or violent means".

Our work is guided by the government's overall strategy to counter threats to the UK's national security.
