London, United Kingdom Secret Intelligence Service Full time

1

**About Us**

We’re MI6, also known as the Secret Intelligence Service. 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**

As a Security Officer at MI6, you’ll help us keep our spaces secure and our people safe. Day-to-day, this involves conducting searches, monitoring security systems, and responding to alarms and incidents as they arise.

In this role, your interactions matter just as much as your vigilance. As the first point of contact for guests, you’ll be the friendly face that greets delegates, staff, and the public. Every day, you’ll interact with people from all walks of life, keeping track of who comes in and out, handling reception duties, and making sure everyone feels welcome and secure.

**About You**

You don’t need any previous security experience for this role because we’re ready to train the right person. What’s most important is your confidence, your ability to handle challenges head-on, and your adaptability in unexpected situations.

Effective communication is vital. We therefore ask for an English GCSE in Grade 4 (or equivalent) or above as a minimum requirement. Communication in this role will be required either through speaking to different people or writing daily in a logbook. Beyond these skills, you’ll also be confident using Microsoft Word and Excel, and you’ll possess a good level of physical fitness that allows you to carry out your duties comfortably.

Though previous security experience isn’t essential, if you do have it, we will welcome your experience and we can build on this foundation together.

**Training and Development**

Stepping into your new role as our Security Officer, you’ll receive comprehensive induction training and the support of your supervisor. Should you need it, we’re also committed to providing you with the training to meet Security Industry Authority (SIA) standards, ensuring that you’re well-prepared and confident in your position.

**Rewards and Benefits**

You’ll receive a starting salary of £47,932 (including shift, overtime and local pay allowances of £20,043) 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, restaurant and on-site coffee bars (at some locations)
- Paid parental and adoption leave.

**What to Expect**

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

- Application sift, looking at your motivation for the role and the organisation.
- Assessment centre, including a competency-based interview and a drugs test.

**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.
