The BBC are committed to becoming the world's first global, digital public service media organisation, with a creative, innovative culture admired worldwide, where the best people do their best work. It really is a great time to join us.

We’re looking for an Information Security Junior Officer to join the Awareness team. You’ll be an inquisitive, passionate, and professional person, possessing a creative mindset and an eagerness to develop your technical skills. A flair with words, and a talent for graphic design will make you well-equipped to design and deliver effective information security awareness campaigns and communications, which translate technical advice into everyday guidance to ensure colleagues can work safely whoever and wherever they are.

You will be a whizz on social media, and a well of ideas, with a distinct voice that you’ll be able to adapt to appeal to staff across the BBC via our internal communications channels. Someone that enjoys workshopping ideas with their team, following trends in metrics, and really getting to know their audience, in order to produce engaging, practical advice that you’re confident to present to staff when necessary.

It’s an exciting time to join the team, with truly rewarding work, and you’ll be supported with a continuous personal development plan, including the opportunity of relevant further training.

**Interview process**:

- In-person/virtual interview - approx. 50 mins of technical and values-based questions plus 10 minute presentation (total 1 hour)

**Main responsibilities**:
As a Junior Information Security Officer, your key responsibilities will include supporting the implementation of security awareness programs, assisting in the creation of training materials, and promoting Information Security best practices across the organisation along with staying updated on emerging security threats.

Your role will also involve collaborating with various teams, either virtually or in person, to ensure that essential messages are clearly communicated and understood by all staff. You may also be required to travel for campaigns and other job related events across the UK and internationally, when needed.

You'll bring fresh ideas to the table, helping to create clear, compelling communications that resonate with our audience. Whether it's writing captivating messages through our social channels or designing eye-catching materials, you'll play a key role in making sure our communications are not only informative but also fun and engaging.
