About Us
We’re problem solvers at heart. Sometimes the answer is technology, sometimes it is strategy, and sometimes it is a strong cup of tea and a bit of thoughtful conversation. Whatever it takes, we work it out with our clients.
We’re an IT consultancy that helps organisations get the best out of their technology. That means keeping them secure and keeping the bad guys out, making sure everything works and is easy to use, and doing smart things with data and software to give their business an edge. It is important work, and we care about doing it well and for the right reasons.
Life at Waterstons is friendly, flexible and built on trust. We hire people who are curious, thoughtful and good at getting to the heart of a problem. You get support, trust and room to grow in a place that still feels human. The unlimited holidays and private healthcare are a nice touch, although most people stay because it feels like the right place to do good work with good people.
About the Role
Are you ready to shape your future?
As a member of our Cyber Security team, you will be working with our clients by supporting and implementing a security strategy that directly adds value to their business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Our people are trained to the highest standards in the latest information security best practices. Security frameworks that we use include Cyber Essentials, ISO 27000 series, and the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF). This means you’ll be involved in challenging and varied work from day one.
Once you’ve developed your client knowledge, you’ll have an opportunity to develop a specialism within the existing or future domains of cyber security. This could include risk management, auditing, incident management, information governance or data privacy. You’ll utilise your specialisms to help shape the direction and future offering of the Cyber Security team. We aim to be a leader in the security field, and our projects always use the latest technologies, security frameworks and methodologies where appropriate. Your experience in the above isn’t as important to us as your ability to learn and grow.
