Job Summary
Could you manage and uphold compliance and assurance standards to support national security?

PSU work collaboratively with partners, stakeholders and associated advisors to ensure timely security sweeps occur to maintain the integrity of the CT estate with partner accreditation and enhance security through the development of administrative, technical and physical security controls.
The role of the Security Engagement & Coordination Unit (SECU) is to manage the coordinated implementation of the SOCs strategic framework and work plan, both nationally and locally. The SECU will establish mechanisms for regional integration and networking to develop active partnerships across national CTP Compliance functions.

Job description
Warwickshire County Council is looking to appoint two Solution Architects to help guide the future direction of ICT in the council.
About the team
Warwickshire County Council has a dedicated ICT Strategy and Commissioning Service which is responsible for developing our ICT strategy and vision.
The function of the Solution Architecture team is to provide strategic guidance on business decisions about technology. This could be through working on established projects, or through early conversations with business stakeholders about potential areas for development. The architects assess options for achieving business outcomes, engage the right operational ICT colleagues in discussions, and ensure that ICT risk is identified and considered in all conversations.
The Service also manages a strategic commissioning programme which provides a governance framework and reporting capability for the work that the ICT delivery teams do. This enables a data-informed approach to solution design.
About you
Risk management is an important part of the role, and the Solution Architects must be able to provide insight on threats and opportunities when ICT risks are identified. You will have a general understanding of ICT security practices to enable you to ask the right questions about proposed solutions.
The Solution Architects’ remit is consultative and therefore does not require day-to-day operational access to systems. However, you will have a background in ICT Applications or Operations and the ability to draw on this to inform conversations with technical staff.
You will have an analytical mind and to be able to assess the available data for any given question, identify where there are gaps and build an assumption base.
You will work collaboratively with the operational delivery teams towards an agreed outcome. Thoughtful and clear communication skills are essential in this role.
Experience of migration from on-premise to cloud-based datacentre or storage systems would be helpful. This is a great opportunity to support data-informed migration within our application, data and technology domains.
What you’ll be doing
We are using Microsoft 365 across the council. We have transitioned elements of our datacentres to Azure and migrated our existing SharePoint platform from on-premise to online, and we are about to begin the deployment of a Dynamics platform for customer relationship management. We are actively seeking ways to optimise our use of cloud technology.
Over the next year we will be focusing on four primary areas for technological change:
Applications and Technology Baselining and Rationalisation
Business Systems Optimisation
Cloud Adoption
Customer Experience Improvement Projects
As a Solutions Architect you will be guiding ICT through these changes using an architecture-led approach. You will work collaboratively with our technical experts to develop policy and guidance which supports the work.
We will also be developing commissions covering the services that ICT provide to the business, including:
End User Compute
Public Digital Services
Digital Workplace
Core Infrastructure
Security Services
Service Management
You will play an active role in defining and developing these, working with ICT colleagues and with stakeholders across the business.
For further information please see the Job Description and Person Specification.

We're growing, and need a macOS and Windows IT Technician to join our established central London team providing IT services to SMEs. We provide support for macOS and Windows fleets and networks, with Google Apps, Office 365 and SAAS services. We use Amazon AWS and Azure for cloud services, and UniFi for network equipment.
We work across companies including fintech, consultancies, and marketing, advertising and PR agencies. Our clients are often small businesses that have grown rapidly. They want the flexibility they started off with — a neat fleet of MacBook Pros or ThinkPads, and G Suite or Office 365, and no internal network. But they need to get the hatches battened down, keep things simple as they grow, and address security needs.
Our clients tend to be in West End, City or Shoreditch locations. We don’t work outside London (but we do provide remote / satellite support to people in various locations.) They all do businesses that are interesting in different ways – likely you’ll find yourself taking an interest in their business. Because we work with our clients on an ongoing basis, we can work to find the right technical answer and the right long-term answer.
You’ll likely have a fixed site visit or two each week to a client that you get to know, where you act as their in-house IT person during your time on-site. The rest of the week, you might be taking help tickets, or out and about at other locations helping end users. Or, figuring out a better way of doing something – maybe automating a task that you find yourself or your colleagues having to do often.
We are a flat team who work collaboratively and without a management overhead. You’ll have the ability to help decide how our team works, what technologies we use, and what the best way of doing things is.
Most of us have a background as the IT manager in an agency or publishing environment. We like working as a team of IT providers instead because it’s a more collaborative and supportive environment, but has many of the same challenges, and interests. We are interested in anyone with similar experience, but open to other backgrounds and experience types also.
Our office is at WeWork. It’s a nice spot. Some of our clients are also at WeWork or other coworking spaces. We’re located on South Bank as it’s an easy trip to our client locations in the West End or tech city.
REQUIREMENTS
You must:
Currently use macOS as your primary environment
Have a good understanding of both macOS and Windows
Be supportive and helpful, using your powers for good and not for evil
You should have experience in some of the following areas, and be confident that you have the aptitude to continue learning and progressing in all of them:
macOS management with DEP, MDM, Munki and JumpCloud
Windows Server, in particular Active Directory, RRAS and NPS, and file services
NinjaRMM, TeamViewer and WebRoot
Office 365 (including standalone, hybrid and AD synced)
G-Suite (including Basic, Business and Enterprise)
Amazon AWS including VPCs, site to site VPNs, Transit Gateways, security groups
IP networking (IPv4 only, generally), using UniFi network equipment
Qualifications and Background:
You don’t need a degree
You do need to have relevant experience in IT in general and in macOS and Windows desktop support
You do need to have good written and verbal communication
You need to be London-based, or able to commute daily and reliably for an 0900 to 1730 day
BENEFITS
The salary for this role is £27,000 to £35,000 per year, depending on experience.
Our company is small and informal, but professional. We are a supportive environment and look out for one another. We have good equipment (all provided) and a nice office. We finish at 17:30 sharp, and we don’t bother one another after hours.
During desk-based work, you may work from home as much as you wish. During the working day, you may go to the gym or take any other activity for mental or physical health as you like.
This is a full-time, permanent role. Our company has grown slowly and steadily and we expect it to continue doing just that.
