**Job summary**:
We are seeking Policy Advisors within the Security Policy and Operations (SPO) area of the Ministry of Defence Head Office. SPO is the part of the Ministry of Defence that provides both policy advice to Ministers on security and operational matters and strategic direction to our Armed Forces.

The roles provide vital contributions to SPO output, and are an integral part of our policy teams, linking with colleagues across Whitehall to ensure consistency with the National Security Strategy and working alongside military colleagues to deliver policy and military advice to Ministers.

These positions are advertised at 37 hours per week. Regular attendance in MOD Main Building in London will be required, with some home working possible.

About Security Policy and Operations (SPO)

The MOD’s key responsibility is to protect the security, independence, and interests of the UK, at home and abroad. SPO is central to delivering this. The SPO Headquarters organisation consists of around 700 civilian and military staff.

SPO officials work directly with Ministers to define the objectives and context for military operations by the UK’s Armed Forces. SPO delivers advice and direction as a combined Department of State and Military Headquarters. It shapes Defence relations with other nations and international security organisations. It leads the MOD’s counter-terrorism policy and Defence’s contribution to UK security policy, working with Government colleagues to implement it. In all these areas, we ensure the MOD is accountable to Parliament and the public.
