Pentest People is a UK-based security consultancy specialising in providing Penetration Testing as a Service to all its clients. Our innovative approach to security testing merges the benefits of consultant-led penetration testing with ongoing vulnerability assurance through our advanced SecurePortal.
We are looking for enthusiastic Cyber Security or Computer Science graduates to join us as trainee security consultants at our award winning and fast-growing consultancy, based in Leeds. We cover a wide range of assessment services from applications (web, mobile, API), infrastructure, social engineering (phishing, vishing, physical intrusion) and cloud testing. We offer trainee consultants the opportunity to develop their skills over many of these areas.
Your diary will be varied as you work with a small group of other trainees (typically 4 or 5) to learn the different aspects of becoming a security consultant. Using a range of learning techniques including: workshops, observations, practice labs, paired work, live testing, discussion, mentoring, coaching and independent research; you will rapidly develop a range of technical and soft skills. You will be offered support from the academy team leader and all of our consultants so that you make constant progress in a supportive and friendly environment.

1. An Introduction to Becoming a Consultant - Trainees learn and practise key skills and begin to conduct live assessments.
2. Broadening Testing Skills - Each month, a new type of test is learned and practised.
3. Becoming a Consultant - An opportunity to gain deeper and broader experience whilst also assisting with the development of new trainees.
4. Specialisation Project - a chance to pursue something you are passionate about and become an expert.
Responsibilities:
* Performing penetration tests
* Writing high quality reports
