SOC Analyst - Level 1

Hereford - On-site
12-month contract (strong extension potential)
£55.90 PAYE / £75.48 Umbrella
Sole UK Nationals only / SC clearance

Working with a leading defence organisation, I’m looking for a Level 1 SOC Analyst to join a fast-paced security operations environment supporting critical infrastructure.

This is a hands-on role, focused on alert triage, initial investigations, and working closely with an outsourced SOC to ensure effective incident response and escalation.

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.
