The NCF is made up of a roughly equal share of personnel from defence and intelligence and brings together their expertise, resources and authorities under a single command structure.�

The NCF delivers a broad range of outcomes in the interests of national security, such as support to defence and protecting the UK�s economic well being. NCF activities range, from the tactical through to the strategic, against both state actors and non-state actors.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Our vision is to have an empowered, productive, personally and professionally fulfilled workforce. Whatever your role, we take your career and development seriously. We want to enable you to build a successful career with the Department and wider Civil Service.
