Are you an experienced information security professional looking for your next leadership challenge? Social Security Scotland is seeking a Security Risk and Assurance Manager to join our Digital Risk & Security Branch on a 12-month temporary basis (expected to extend to 15 months) to provide maternity leave cover.

This is a fantastic opportunity to lead a skilled team of Information and Security Officers and Security Risk Advisors, ensuring the agency maintains robust security governance, risk management and assurance arrangements. You'll play a key role in safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information across the organisation while driving forward our ambitious security assurance, governance and risk programme.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
