**Job summary**:
This is a genuinely exciting time to join the Defence Nuclear Organisation (DNO) within the Ministry of Defence (MOD). You will be at the heart of real Defence issues, delivering against one of the Department’s top three priorities, in a high-profile area which is rarely out of the news.

The DNO was established in April 2016 to oversee all aspects of nuclear business within the MOD and across the wider Defence Nuclear Enterprise. The ‘Enterprise’ comprises the people that design, produce and maintain the submarines and nuclear warheads, and provide the necessary infrastructure and support. It includes organisations such as the Submarine Delivery Agency, Royal Navy, UK Strategic Command, Atomic Weapons Establishment, and industry partners such as BAE Systems, Rolls Royce and Babcock.

Our mission is to keep safe and capable submarines at sea today and in the future. We need a capable and credible nuclear deterrent to successfully deter the most extreme threats to our national security and way of life.

The mission of the Principal Security Advisor (PSyA) and their team is to support Chief Defence Nuclear (CDN) by ensuring the security and resilience of Command Plan outputs and establishing an effective organisation to implement security, as specified by MOD’s Director of Security and Resilience, the Defence Nuclear Security Regulator (DefNucSyR) and the MOD Chief Information Officer (CIO).

This position is advertised at 37 hours per week.
