Get started with Accurx today. ## About the role #### 💬 Accurx is solving healthcare productivity for the NHS. For decades, the NHS has struggled with fragmented systems that make simple tasks feel impossible. At Accurx, we’re changing that by building a single, system-wide platform that helps every patient get gold-standard, efficient, and joined-up care. What started as a way for GPs to text a patient has now evolved into an all-in-one digital toolkit used by 98% of GP practices. Our platform now powers [Total Triage](https://www.accurx.com/primary-care) to manage patient demand, and [Self-Book,](https://www.accurx.com/booking)** **which lets patients schedule their own appointments in seconds. We’ve automated routine care with [Patient Questionnaires](https://www.accurx.com/questionnaires) for long-term conditions, while [Accumail](https://www.accurx.com/accumail) finally allows staff-to-staff communication to happen instantly across different care settings. We’re now pushing the boundaries of the consultation itself with [Accurx Scribe](https://www.accurx.com/scribe), our AI-powered note-taker that drafts medical notes in real-time. We’re not just shipping features. We’re giving clinicians their time back and ensuring every patient journey is as smooth as it should be. #### How this role sits within the function - Reports to: Senior Information Security Officer - Function: Privacy & Information Security - Contract type: Twelve-month fixed-term contractThis role works day-to-day alongside the Senior Information Security Officer, who owns the GRC framework, ISO 27001 programme, CE+ and DSPT compliance, and the security risk register. It provides dedicated capacity to push forward priority workstreams - particularly risk management, CE+ audit readiness, and data strategy delivery. #### Challenges you’ll solve... - Own the security risk register: Facilitate risk assessment sessions with technical and non-technical stakeholders across the business, keep the register current and accurate, and prepare clear risk reporting that translates technical risk into business language. - Drive Cyber Essentials Plus readiness: Coordinate evidence gathering across IT, Platform and Security Engineering ahead of the CE+ deep-dive audit, reviewing controls against requirements and flagging gaps with practical remediation guidance. - Deliver our data classification programme: Work with data owners to classify information assets in line with policy, and push the access control programme forward by reviewing current access patterns and identifying gaps. - Keep risk treatment moving: Track risk treatment actions and follow up with owners so items progress rather than stall, managing milestones and blockers across the risk, CE+, and data workstreams. - Support the wider security programme: Contribute to ISO 27001 and DSPT activities where your work intersects, including evidence collection and control documentation, and support policy and process documentation as needed. - Be a translator between security and the business: Communicate security requirements clearly to engineers, and help non-technical stakeholders understand risk well enough to act on it. #### You should apply if... - You have 3–5 years of hands-on experience in information security and risk management, ideally in health-tech or a regulated SaaS environment. - You've run risk sessions, owned a risk register, and prepared risk reporting for senior stakeholders - You've worked through a Cyber Essentials Plus audit cycle yourself - You understand cloud infrastructure, endpoint management, identity and access controls, and network boundaries well enough to hold your own in a technical conversation - you don't need to be a developer. - You have working knowledge of ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus, and know what "proportionate" looks like in a fast-moving product company. - You write and communicate clearly, structuring your thinking logically so people know what's expected of them and why. - You're comfortable working at pace and without extensive hand-holding, managing your own workload and flagging blockers early. - You care about what Accurx does, and understand that the data we protect belongs to patients and clinicians who trust us with it. #### What’s in it for me? You'll be joining an established but fast-growing Tech for Good movement, led by our [Principles](https://www.notion.so/accurx/How-we-work-Accurx-Principles-211640edee304821b4480d3f9c30e051) and our [mission](https://accurx.notion.site/Mission-and-Vision-fe9b12ff78bd4a7996682fc5c09c2d8e) to solve healthcare productivity. - £50k salary - [Benefits to suit you:](https://accurx.notion.site/Perks-Benefits-f1e9148b71be486791aa2c503e5d775a?pvs=74)adjust your healthcare cover, your pension or life insurance, whatever stage you’re at in life - Flexible working: We are an office-first culture and ask that you’re in our (dog-friendly) Shoreditch office 3 days a week, with core hours of 10 am - 4 pm - Time off: You’ll get 28 days of holiday (plus bank holidays) and up to 4 weeks to work from anywhere per year - We have our very own Chef!
