London, United Kingdom Secret Intelligence Service Full time

**About Us**

We are MI6, also known as SIS. We work with the UK’s foreign partners to support global stability by combating international terrorism and the spread of weapons. We work secretly around the world gathering intelligence to promote and protect the UK’s interests and help stay ahead of our adversaries.

**The Role**

You will be joining a busy team, who undertake a variety of facilities roles in support of their MI6 colleagues who are based in the United Kingdom and overseas.

The role is mainly based in Central London but could occasionally be split between a number of buildings within the M25.

Job specific training will be provided and no previous experience in Facilities Management is required.

As a Facilities Support Officer you are the face of the Estates Department for the majority of colleagues within the organisation.
- We do occasionally offer limited voluntary overseas working opportunities.
- 41 hours office based (Monday - Thursday 08:00 - 16:15 & Friday 08:00 - 16:00)
- There are no line management responsibilities in this role.

**About You**
You should be comfortable working in a customer facing role, dealing with colleagues from across the organisation at all grades. You need to be a good communicator and be happy working in a team.

A driving licence is essential.

We need people who are able to switch between jobs as priorities change during the day - no day (or week) is ever the same.

Knowledge of electrical installation and maintenance, PAC testing and fire regulations/compliance would be useful but is not essential.

**Training and Development**

We will provide training if you do not have the qualification (on your driving licence) to drive either a minibus or lorry.

You will receive day to day training (provided internally) for all mail room and specialist duties and all relevant Health & Safety responsibilities.

Before beginning with the team, you will undertake a MI6 induction course and then a specific Estates Team H&S induction.

**Rewards and Benefits**

You’ll receive a starting salary of £29,979 including allowances plus other benefits including:

- 25 Days Annual Leave automatically rising to 30 days after 5 years' service, and an additional 10.5 days public and privilege holidays.
- Interest-free season ticket loan
- Excellent pension scheme
- Cycle to work scheme
- Facilities such as a subsidised gym and restaurant, and on-site coffee bars
- Paid parental and adoption leave

**Culture and Working Environment**

As part of our team, you’ll discover an inclusive workplace that’s welcoming, supportive and encouraging. You’ll be part of an organisation where people want to support one another and make a difference. Aside from fostering an open culture, we’ve got a range of growing affinity groups. For example:

- Ethnic Minority and gender equality networks
- Groups supporting wellbeing, mental health, neurodiversity and disability
- Faith/No Faith communities for staff to come together
- LGBTQ+ support networks

You’ll also find a variety of sports, activity, interest and social groups to help you settle in and connect with people with similar interests.

**Before You Apply**

Honesty and integrity are really important if you want to work at MI6. Take some time to read about the vetting process and make sure you meet the criteria in the vetting pages of the ‘How to Apply’ section. The process can take some time, but this is just because it’s thorough. Giving misleading information and omitting or concealing information during the recruitment and vetting process is viewed very seriously.

**Equal Opportunities**

**We’re Disability Confident**
- Meeting our eligibility criteria (below)

**Eligibility Criteria**

**What to Expect**

Our recruitment process is fair, transparent, and based on merit. Here is a brief overview of each stage, in order:

- If successful, you will be invited to a one-day assessment centre (online or in person tbc) which includes:

- Documents check
- Competency question-based interview
- Drugs test
- Occupational Psychologist interview
- If successful at Assessment Centre, you will be invited back for a driving assessment and a physical fitness to work assessment by a member of our Occupational health team.
- If you are granted security clearance, you will be given a final offer of employment and invited to sign your employment contract prior to starting your Induction course.

**Our Vetting**

To work in this role you will need the highest security clearance, known as Developed Vetting (DV). It’s something everyone in the UK Intelligence Community has to go through and it can take some time. As part of the DV process you will be asked to fill in a detailed questionnaire and attend an interview with a vetting officer. In your interview the vetting officer will have a thorough, compassionate and honest discussion with you about you as a person and your life experiences, to ensure holding a DV clearance is right f
