As a Barclays Security Consultant, you will have an opportunity to deliver security solutions consulting services, to ensure appropriate information security assurance is undertaken during the development lifestyle. It is a client-focused technical role to support the secure design and implementation of change across a variety of business areas, technologies, and platforms.

Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager.
