We’re recruiting an Infrastructure Systems Manager for a not-for-profit organisation undergoing a major shift from legacy on-premise systems to a modern, cloud-first environment.

Some IT roles ask you to keep things running. This one asks you to help build something worth running.

If you’re an experienced IT generalist, or you’ve honed your skills in a managed service provider environment, then you’ll understand the pace, the pressure and the constant context-switching. You’ll also know the satisfaction of solving real problems and making systems work better.

This role offers something more, a chance to go deeper, take ownership and help build something lasting in a place where your expertise is truly valued.

We’re Church Mission Society, a Christian charity with a rich history and an energising future. You’ll be joining us at a pivotal moment: beginning a major transition evolving our on-premise infrastructure and systems into modern cloud services. The person joining us will be at the heart of that journey, helping shape what comes next.

The organisation you’ll be joining

Church Mission Society is comprised of people who are passionate about mission and fired up about helping people follow Jesus. For over 200 years CMS has been at the forefront of global mission, living out the gospel of Jesus, seeing lives changed and communities transformed. If you join CMS, you will find an organisation that has been reinvigorated with a fresh vision to make disciples of Jesus among people at the edges, both in the UK and around the world.

There are opportunities to learn, pray and participate in mission (outside of your job remit) through all-staff days, meeting our people in mission and taking part in events, as well as regular opportunities for spiritual reflection, worship and prayer together and an annual retreat day.

A team worth joining

You’ll join a small, high-performing ICT team that takes pride in the unseen work, enabling others to succeed. Widely regarded as one of the most trusted and collaborative functions in the organisation, we're regularly sought out for insight that goes well beyond IT. That trust has been earned through years of quality work and a human approach to the people we serve.

This isn’t a role where you wait to be told what to do. You’ll be trusted to shape the technical detail, champion new capabilities and deliver meaningful change that staff across the organisation will feel every day.

An approachable, friendly and genuinely supportive team, we're quietly proud of what we've built together. We look out for one another, and when things get demanding, we show up as a team. We work hard, we enjoy the work, and across the organisation we're trusted not just to solve technical problems, but to bring thoughtful insight and steady leadership to bigger conversations too.

Working closely with the head of ICT, you'll help shape the infrastructure that carries CMS forward, by leading migrations, shaping hybrid environments and driving the adoption of modern technologies, while keeping today's systems secure, reliable and performant.

You'll bring real hands-on experience across virtualisation, cloud platforms, networking, cyber security and disaster recovery to work that genuinely matters. And you'll do this in an environment that backs your curiosity, encourages experimentation and trusts you to find the best solution.

You'll also be the person our colleagues turn to as a first-line support partner who delivers a warm, approachable helpdesk experience, and someone who actively empowers staff to get the most from their digital tools through great training and onboarding.

What we're looking for

You're an experienced IT generalist with a broad, practical skillset, and someone who's comfortable holding the full picture of an organisation's technology while diving deep when needed. You may be working in a managed service provider or IT services environment and are ready to channel your expertise into one place, one team and one mission.

It is also a requirement for this post holder to be in sympathy with the aims and values of CMS.

Further details can be found in the job description and person specification available to download on the CMS website.

Our commitment to you

Our core values of being pioneering, relational, faithful and evangelistic are integral to everything we do, and we work hard to ensure that every member of staff is valued, supported and encouraged to continually learn and develop their skills.

We are committed to the safeguarding and protection of the people we serve, our partners, our volunteers, and our staff. We believe that every child or adult we come into contact with has the right to be protected from all forms of harm and abuse.

Information Security Manager

£55,000 per annum

37 hours per week

Farnham, Surrey, with opportunity for hybrid working.  Cross site working required.
 

About us

Phyllis Tuckwell are based in Farnham, Camberley and Guildford, and provide bespoke, compassionate palliative and end of life care for people living with an advanced or terminal illness, across West Surrey and North-East Hampshire.

Phyllis Tuckwell is a very special place to work.  Our staff make a real difference to the lives of our patients and their loved ones, providing outstanding care at a time that really matters.  Our support teams are pivotal in helping deliver our vital services, ensuring ‘every day is precious’ for our patients. 

We are shortly opening our new hospice building, creating a modern environment designed around patients, families, and staff. Alongside this, we are investing in our digital capability to better support care, improve efficiency, and strengthen how we work as an organisation.

We are seeking an Information Security Manager to shape how our information security is built into a new environment from the outset, rather than retrofitted later.  Whilst good progress has already been made in our cyber security and information governance provision across the organisation, this exciting, new role will take the next step in managing and developing a more structured, consistent, and visible approach, seeking to embed good practice and build confidence.   

This is not a purely technical or policy focused role.  It will be responsible for ensuring our systems and information are safe, resilient, and used responsibly, helping our teams make secure choices in their day-to-day work, and educating staff to understand what this means in practice. The role will play an integral role in ensuring everything we do, and deliver, is secure by default and will ensure a practical, solutions focused approach to risk, helping teams move forward with confidence, building a positive security culture across the organisation.  

This is a key role at an important point for the organisation.  It will make a tangible impact across the work of Phyllis Tuckwell, both clinically and operationally.

The role will operate under the strategic direction of the Director of IT, Estates and Digital Transformation, while acting as the organisation’s recognised subject matter expert in cyber security and information security. They will be the trusted authority in this area, supporting teams across the organisation and providing credible assurance to senior leaders.

Key Responsibilities of the Information Security Manager will include:

• Leading our approach to cyber security, risk management, and incident response
• Developing and improving our information security management system, aligned to standards such as Cyber Essentials Plus and NHS DSPT
• Identifying and managing risks across systems, processes, and suppliers
• Supporting teams to understand and apply good security practice in real-world situations
• Leading response to any cyber or data-related incidents, ensuring an appropriate and prompt response with a learning mindset
• Working with senior colleagues, including the SIRO and Caldicott Guardian, to provide assurance and oversight
• Building awareness and confidence across the organisation through training and engagement
• Ensuring security is built into new systems, projects, and supplier relationships from the outset

• Develop and deliver engaging information security training and awareness campaigns
• Promote a positive, non-blame culture where people feel confident to report incidents or concerns
• Provide practical advice that helps teams make secure choices in day-to-day work
• Act as a visible and approachable subject matter expert across the organisation

About the candidate

Candidates should possess a balanced skillset across technical cyber security and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) combined with the ability to translate this into clear, organisation-wide governance and assurance.  They will be comfortable with detail, whilst also providing proportionate, practical oversight at an organisational level.  They should demonstrate:

• Strong technical grounding in cyber security including networks, endpoints, identity, vulnerabilities, and incident response
• Experience in applying that knowledge to real world risk management, not just theoretical controls
• Good understanding of governance, assurance, and security frameworks such as Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001, and NHS DSPT
• Ability to move comfortably between technical detail and clear, plain-English communication for non-technical audiences
• Experience in providing assurance to senior stakeholders such as risk reporting, audit, or governance forums
• An enabling, solutions-focused approach with the ability to balance risk, with the need to get things done
• Strong focus on behaviour and culture, not just controls and policy
• Able to challenge constructively while helping teams find workable solutions
• Comfortable influencing across teams and building trusted relationships

Relevant qualifications or certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or Security+ are helpful.

Whilst a hospice background is not required, applicants should understand the importance of working in a people-focused, regulated environment.
