**Cyber Security and Information Assurance Inspector**

**About the role**

The role of the Cyber Security & Information Assurance Inspector is to deliver security regulation across the civil nuclear industry to ensure that it manages cyber security and information risks appropriately and effectively. This is achieved primarily through:

- Assessment of duty holders’ cyber security arrangements to provide confidence that risks are being adequately managed.
- Undertaking regulatory inspections with duty holders to ensure the effective implementation of technical cyber security controls to protect information technology, operational technology and sensitive nuclear information.
- Conducting inspections of facilities across the nuclear supply chain to ensure information security risks are effectively managed.
- Contributing to the development of regulatory policy and influencing the development of good practice both nationally and internationally.
- Liaison with other regulators (including those in security and safety disciplines) and various Government security and intelligence agencies, including the co-ordination of the sector’s response to high profile cyber security events and incidents.
- Representing ONR at security events and meetings, such as those organised by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the World Institute for Nuclear Security, the UK Cyber Security Council and those organised directly by the UK Nuclear industry.

**Person Specification**
- have served for at least one year in Her Majesty's Armed Forces (as a Regular or Reserve)
- be in transition from, or ceased to be a member of, Her Majesty’s Armed Forces; and
- not already be employed by ONR

- Hold a relevant qualification (for example, an NCSC certified degree, or Level 6 qualification or higher in Cyber Security or Information Security).
- Hold Full Professional Membership of an appropriate professional body (e.g. BCS, CIISec or SyI).

Applicants who feel they possess equivalent experience, qualifications and/or professional memberships are invited to apply, however must clearly evidence how their background and skills meet these expectations.

**Job Related Expertise**
- Knowledge of current cyber threats and technical security vulnerabilities.
- Application of Government protective security procedures and making balanced judgements on adequacy.
- Proficiency at managing security risks in a regulated environment.
- Leadership in the assessment of cyber security arrangements, including the conduct of audits, assurance activities and/or compliance inspections
- Delivery of concise, accurate, high quality written reports to tight deadlines.
- Being open and communicative through the ability to demonstrate highly articulate verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to present complex technical matters to a non-expert audience.
- Demonstrable strong influencing skills and an ability to persuade by working collaboratively and flexibly with all stakeholders, showing appropriate interpersonal sensitivity, self-awareness and assertiveness.
- Evidence of managing projects through sound planning, prioritisation and timely delivery of work to very high standards.
- Evidence of effective and professional behaviours throughout delivery of roles.

**Location**

Successful applicants may be based at our Bootle, Cheltenham or London office. Staff will be provided with equipment to enable remote working, however, it should be noted that during the first twelve months of appointment staff will be required to spend a significant amount of time (approximately 1 week in 4) at the Bootle office (or on occasion our other offices) in order to undertake mandatory warranting (legal and regulatory) and develop business relationships with colleagues.

ONR operates hybrid working (working in the office and or at home) as part of our flexible working policy. There is an expectation that everyone will spend time in the office on a regular basis, recognising that some work is better done face to face. Managers will work with their
