Do you have experience of delivering enterprise networking and IT security solutions?
Are you a great problem solver, who uses ‘blue sky thinking’ to develop new technical solutions to resolve complex business problems, while maintaining security compliance?
If so, Leicestershire Police have the role for you.
We are looking for an experienced, dynamic and resourceful individual to join our IT Department as a Network and IT Security Manager, on a full time, permanent basis.
Our team is at the forefront of innovation within the Force, playing a key part in enabling Leicestershire Police to meet demands for the future. Working for a 24 by 365 emergency service with an ambitious transformation strategy, you will be able to deliver high levels of performance, availability and security whilst enabling the delivery of our digital vision.
You will already have a range of networking and security skills together with significant experience of delivering enterprise networking and security solutions in a similar role. Working with our Network Partner you will be able to lead the strategic planning and management of the data network to meet the requirements of the Force. You will be responsible for ensuring the technical design, specification, implementation, management, security, monitoring and alerting, support and maintenance of the Force network. You must be confident with a hands-on role.
We are migrating services to the cloud and you must be familiar with products such as Azure and AWS.
The Force network comprises 40-sites and 2-data centres utilising the following technologies:
• Cisco Nexus 9000 plus other Cisco layer-3 and layer-2 switching
• Cisco ASR and ISR routers
• Cisco and Juniper firewalls
• Citrix Netscaler
• Meraki Wi-Fi
• Solarwinds network performance monitoring
• Metro Ethernet and IPVPN WAN
• Azure and AWS, express route, direct connect and site to site VPN
• Managed Internet Access
• Jet Nexus load balancing
• Microsoft Teams and Skype telephony and video conferencing
• Netmotion and Anyconnect VPNs
• PSN
You will be confident working with government, regional, local partners and Force stakeholders in the delivery of national and collaborative projects and services, including meeting and demonstrating accreditation and code of connection requirements.
Network security is a critical requirement and you will be able to define, implement and enforce high levels of network security, assurance, vulnerability and risk management. You will also be confident developing policy, procedure and guidance to meet appropriate standards including ISO/BS, NCSC and NIST.
We appreciate the importance of work life balance and welfare which is why we implement flexible and agile working practises. This role can be worked remotely, with the need to attend site as and when required.
Our police staff work side by side with police officers and make a real difference to people’s lives.
Whether you join us for on-going career development or in a highly rewarding job with good pay and flexible hours to suit your needs, we are confident you will enjoy working in our modern, dynamic and fast-moving organisation where teamwork and co-operation really does count for everything.
From widely diverse backgrounds with very different personalities and aspirations, everyone who joins us plays a positive part in community policing.
