For the Welsh Blood Service, we are transforming blood and transplant services, improving current capabilities alongside developing new services including plasma for medicines.

An ambitious digital strategy underpins this, which will revolutionise the way in which we deliver services - from co-producing innovative technologies, working on digital inclusion, to embedding data & insight into our everyday.

* You will be required to adhere to the cyber security professional code of conduct, and keep up to date with legislation and national policies, as well as assessing security advisories from third parties.
