London, United Kingdom Secret Intelligence Service Full time

1

**About Us**

We’re MI6, also known as 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 MI6 will see you providing vital support to this work, within a supportive and encouraging environment that puts the emphasis on teamwork.

**The Role**

**About You**

Business Support Officers come from diverse backgrounds. Some come straight from full-time education, others might have extensive work experience, but all are attracted by our unique working environment. You’ll need at least 5 GCSEs Grades 9-4 (A to E) including Maths and English Language at 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**

You’ll receive a starting salary of £33,746 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
- Interest-free season ticket loan
- Excellent pension scheme
- Cycle to work scheme
- Facilities such as a gym and restaurant, and on-site coffee bars
- Paid parental and adoption leave

**Equal Opportunities**

**We’re Disability Confident**
- Five GCSEs at grade 9-4 (A*-E, including Maths and English Language at grade A*-C (or equivalent)

(If you require reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process please let us know)

**What to Expect**

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

- You’ll be invited to attend an online interview.
- If you’re successful at this stage, you will be made a conditional offer of employment while you undergo the Developed Vetting process (details below). You will only be made a final offer of employment once you have obtained the necessary security clearance.

**Before You Apply**

To work at MI6, you need to be a British citizen or hold dual British nationality. You can read our full eligibility criteria here.

This role requires the highest security clearance, known as Developed Vetting (DV). It’s something everyone in the UK Intelligence Community undertakes. You can find out more about the vetting process here.
