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 to manage patient demand, and Self-Book , which lets patients schedule their own appointments in seconds. We’ve automated routine care with Patient Questionnaires for long-term conditions, while 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 , 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: Six-month fixed-term contract This 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
