**Job summary**:
MI5 keeps the country safe from serious threats like terrorism and attempts by states to harm the UK, its people and way of life. We carry out investigations by obtaining, analysing and assessing intelligence, and then work with a range of partners, including MI6 and GCHQ to disrupt these threats. Through our protective security arm, we provide advice and guidance to government, businesses and other organisations about how to keep themselves safe. A role in MI5 means you’ll do unique and challenging work in a supportive and encouraging environment, making a real difference to UK national security.

**Job description**:
As a Senior Admin Officer, you’ll keep things running smoothly, providing vital administrative support across a range of business areas. You could work in various departments such as HR, Finance, Records Management or Information Management.

There are a range of tasks and responsibilities you could be involved in including;
- Collating information
- Managing databases
- Research and project work
- Report writing
- Arranging and managing meetings
- Diary management
- Arranging travel

You’ll also have the freedom to work autonomously, manage a small team of administrators, and have greater responsibility for your work.

You’ll need to be proficient in administration, organisation, prioritisation, have strong written and oral communication and thrive in a team. You’ll also need strong attention to detail when collating information, good judgement, and be able to manage others, sharing your experience and fostering an inclusive working environment. You’ll have a flexible, self-motivated approach to your work, be able to adapt to shifting priorities and look for opportunities to improve our processes.

You’ll gain breadth of experience and build on your skills as wells as gaining new ones, such as how to use some of our bespoke IT systems. Whichever team you join, we’ll provide in-depth training to ensure you’re equipped with all the skills you need to assist us to the best of your abilities now, and throughout your future career.

Whether you’re at the beginning of your career, returning to work after a break, or looking for a new challenge, this could be the beginning of a career with the UK’s Intelligence Services, where you’ll play a key role in one of our most crucial processes.

**Person specification**:
All you need to join us are two GCSEs (or equivalent) in Maths and English Language at grades A*-C/9-4, or experience in an office environment working in an administrative role.

You’ll also be keen to learn - this role includes an initial training period where you’ll learn about our research and analysis techniques. With a proactive approach to your work, you’ll be comfortable using your initiative and talking to a range of people to get thing done. Your attention to detail will be invaluable, as will your organisational skills, even when working to tight deadlines.

We’re interested in what makes you, _you_. There’s no one ‘type’ of person that we’re after. Whether you choose to work full-time or part-time, you’ll feel part of a large, welcoming team where there’s plenty of support and training on offer.

**Training and Development**

We’re committed to helping our people develop their skills and career by ensuring everyone gets the training and support they need to succeed.

Alongside coaching and peer support networks, you’ll also get opportunities to attend a wide range of personal development and job-specific courses. Whether through courses run by our own academy, or through knowledge sharing, you’ll never stop learning.

**Benefits**:

- You’ll receive a starting salary of £32,659 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
- Opportunities to be recognised through our employee performance scheme
- Personal Learning Budget
- Interest-free season ticket loan
- Excellent pension scheme
- Cycle to work scheme
- Facilities such as a gym, restaurant and on-site coffee bars (at some locations)
- Paid parental and adoption leave
