Why Grayce?

Grayce specialises in delivering change and transformation for some of the UK’s most ambitious organisations. For over a decade, we have partnered with FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 companies to deploy high-performing early career talent across major programmes of work.

Our Accelerated Development Programme offers a structured, fast-track route into industry. You will gain hands-on experience working on business transformation initiatives, supporting stakeholders, improving processes, and contributing to large-scale change programmes.

You will typically work with one client at a time, delivering meaningful outcomes in a professional, client-facing environment. Alongside this, you will complete a minimum of six industry-recognised accreditations, with clear progression pathways and salary growth as you develop.

About the Opportunity

As part of Grayce's Accelerated Development Programme, this is an exciting opportunity to work on high-impact security projects within an industry leading organisation.

Cyber security is no longer a niche concern - it’s a business-critical priority. In fact, 43% of UK businesses reported experiencing a cyber-attack in the past year, with threats becoming increasingly sophisticated and targeted. When working with critical infrastructure, the stakes are even higher. That’s why we’re looking for individuals who bring passion, curiosity, and attention to detail - qualities that are essential in staying one step ahead of cyber criminals.

Your work will help safeguard sensitive data, maintain public trust, and ensure operational continuity across vital services.

As a Graduate Cyber Security Consultant, you’ll be at the frontline. This role offers a unique opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies, monitor and respond to security incidents, and contribute to the development of robust defence strategies. You’ll collaborate with experienced professionals to identify vulnerabilities, assess risks, and implement solutions that keep our organisation secure.
