London, United Kingdom Secret Intelligence Service Full time

**About Us**

We’re MI6, also known as the SIS. Our mission is to protect the security and economic wellbeing of the UK from overseas threats such as regional instability, terrorism, and cyber-attacks. Working across the globe and in close partnership with MI5 and GCHQ, we help the Government to counter these threats through the provision of secret intelligence. A role in SIS will see you providing vital support to this work, within a supportive and encouraging environment that puts the emphasis on teamwork.

**The Role**

As an Intelligence Officer (IO), you’ll be central to our mission. Our IOs gather secret intelligence to protect the UK and its interests overseas, prioritising matters of national security, economic wellbeing and the disruption of serious crime. It’s a fascinating and diverse role where you’ll use everyday skills, including communication, influencing and empathy, to tackle extraordinary challenges. It’s genuinely interesting and rewarding work.

IOs work across four main areas:

- Operational Managers, who are responsible for planning operations, while identifying and managing risks.
- Targeters, who are tasked with turning information, such as data, into operations alongside our partner agencies.
- Reporting Officers, who link us with Whitehall and our customers and are responsible for validating and testing the intelligence as well as briefing ministers.
- Case Officers, these are the people who build and manage relationships with agents - the people who pass us the intelligence we need.

This is critical work that keeps the UK safe. You might meet a contact for a chat in a café, or you might gather intelligence online at our offices. In fact, your work will look much like any other office role - and like any other job, you’ll usually be contactable, if your family and friends need you.

**The Intelligence Officer Training Pathway**

This is made up of the following elements:

- 8 weeks initial classroom-based training
- You’ll be allocated a role within one of the four business areas (see above), where you’ll complete on the job learning for 18 months
- You’ll have continuous access to a mentor and you’ll benefit from a continued and robust support structure
- As you become more experienced, you’ll be given a portfolio of work to own and manage (with support)
- You’ll then complete additional training at a higher level, before moving into another placement for the remainder of the Pathway

For the remainder of your career as an IO you’ll be expected to move into a different role approximately every three years, so it’s important that you demonstrate aptitude and interest in at least two of the four areas during the recruitment process (however if you specialise in a particularly niche area, there may be an opportunity to stay within this area of work for longer than three years).

**About you**

As well as demonstrating a strong motivation for joining the organisation and doing the IO role, you’ll also be able to demonstrate the following key competencies:

- ** Problem solving and judgement **- a keen problem-solver, you’ll be comfortable in your decision making but also able to bring in the expertise of others when you’re unsure.
- ** Personal organisation and proactivity** - a good organiser, you’ll be able to multi-task, prioritising work and able to create and develop plans. With an objective approach, you’ll review progress and risks, to ensure plans use resources efficiently.
- ** Clear communicator and Influencer** - you’ll present information to others concisely and tailored to your audience. You’ll use your communication and people skills to build strong arguments so you can confidently and credibly bring others round to your point of view.
- ** Able to work with others** - with empathy and an ability to take account of other’s objectives, you’ll build positive relationships with people with a range of different experiences and backgrounds.
- ** Able to work with a broad range of customers** - to understand requirements, build strong relationships and keep them informed of progress.
- ** Open to change** - a keen learner, you’ll continually look for opportunities to develop your skills, share your learnings and embrace change.

Ultimately, the skills we’re looking for are the ones you use every day - and not just at work. Maybe your people skills come from volunteering. Your love of learning from a hobby. Maybe you can coach your friends through a tricky escape room, or you know just how to calm your kids down. Those are just the kind of people skills we need.

Desirable: An interest in languages/travel/foreign affairs is of benefit but not essential.

**Salary**

Between £36,733 - £46,408 depending on performance during the assessment process and professional experience:

- If you have 3 or more years of profession
