1

**About Us**
We’re MI6, also known as SIS. Our mission is to protect the security and economic well being 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 MI6 will see you providing vital support to this work, within a supportive and encouraging environment that puts the emphasis on teamwork.

**The Role**

**A range of working patterns are available, including part-time, compressed hours and job shares. If this interests you, it can be discussed during the recruitment process**

**About You**
Business Support Officers come from diverse backgrounds.

You’ll need at least 5 GCSEs Grades 9-4 (A to E) including Maths and English Language Grades A to C or equivalent. You don’t need any administrative experience to start as a BSO, it’s your skills and potential that we’re interested in.

We look for a high level of professionalism, as well as sound judgement and strong organisational skills. We need people who are adaptable with a broad range of skills like communication, problem-solving and the ability to plan and prioritise your workload. This means you’ll be able to perform well in any of our varied roles. As someone who enjoys working in a team, you’ll go out of your way to help others and share your knowledge. And, importantly, you’ll understand the importance of discretion. If that sounds like you, you’re perfect for MI6.

**Training and Development**
We’re hugely committed to staff development. All our Business Support Officers attend a short induction course when they join. Your learning doesn’t stop there, as you’ll have the opportunity to attend a wide range of personal development and job specific courses throughout your career. Whether it’s through courses run by our own academy, or through knowledge sharing, you’ll never stop learning. Our strong community of Business Support Officers has created a peer network, where you can learn from each other, share ideas, organise events and build connections that’ll last throughout your career.

**Rewards and Benefits**
