Over 12 months, you'll get to experience different roles across our client's Security team and discover the areas that interest you most. You'll work alongside experienced security professionals, build new skills and see different types of security work in action. And you do not need to know where you want your career to go before you start. This is your opportunity to explore, learn and start discovering the career path that could be right for you. Here are some of the areas you could work in:

The 12-month placement programme is built on three key pillars: Making an Impact, Personal Development and the Project. Making an Impact – get involved in meaningful work that adds real value from day one. You'll support your team's goals and help deliver work that makes a difference – for your team, and for the people our client does it all for: their customers. Personal Development – build your confidence and skills through mentoring, learning sessions and events – all designed to support your growth and goals. The Project – work with other students to lead a project that creates real, positive impact. Our client's programmes go above and beyond just the day job. You'll gain valuable experience in your chosen business area while also having the space and opportunity to challenge yourself and develop your skills.
