**About Us**

MI5 safeguards the UK against threats such as terrorism, espionage, cyber and sabotage. We investigate suspect individuals and organisations in the UK to obtain, collate, analyse and assess secret intelligence relating to these threats. Alongside our British Intelligence partners SIS and GCHQ, we provide the UK government with the information they need to protect national security.

**Job description**:

The support you give in one of our many mission enabling positions will help the wider intelligence business work smoothly, while giving you lots of interesting insights.

You’ll collaborate with a range of business areas and when you join, you won’t be rotated around different departments. Instead, your first post will typically last for a minimum of two years. You might be based in one of a variety of areas like: Finance, Legal, Information Management, HR, Project Management. Compliance, Recruitment, Policy and Data Management. And that’s just to name a few.

With great organisational skills and a good eye for detail, you’ll trust you own judgement and have confidence in making your own decisions. While happy to take responsibility for your own areas of work, you’ll also enjoy collaborating to solve problems. And it’s important that you’re keen to learn.

No matter your experience or background, you’ll get lots of dedicated support when you join. With an induction and your own mentor, you’ll quickly get to grips with everything and have a friendly face to help you settle in.
