To help bring our risk management processes to life, you will also support the development and delivery of training and awareness materials and activities on information security and data protection topics in creative and accessible ways. We aim for content to be as engaging as possible and part of this remit will involve working with the team to design new awareness initiatives, support various business areas by delivering training sessions, responding to queries from colleagues and working with our Information Security Champion network. Additionally, you will design and implement phishing simulations to educate and test employees on recognising and responding to phishing threats.

Furthermore, you will provide general support to the Information Security workstream as required. This includes assisting in various projects and initiatives to uphold NFU Mutual's security standards, ensuring that all activities align with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
