We’re the UK Intelligence Community, and our mission is to protect the country’s people, businesses, and interests from a wide range of threats, including terrorism and threats from other states. MI5 protects the UK and its interests by collecting intelligence, investigating, and working with partners to disrupt national security threats. The Secret Intelligence Service (also known as MI6) work across the globe to protect the security and economic wellbeing of the UK from overseas threats. GCHQ is the UK’s intelligence and cyber agency, whose mission is to help keep the country safe in the real world and online. 

We recruit people with a wide range of backgrounds, perspectives, and with all levels of experience to help achieve our mission. From apprenticeships, internships and graduate programmes to opportunities for those looking to change careers or take their expertise somewhere new, you’ll do extraordinary work where making a difference matters. We recruit for a variety of roles, from intelligence officers and language specialists to lawyers and security officers, software engineers and data analysts.

Plus, in our welcoming, open culture, you’ll discover far more than just truly rewarding work. We put a real focus on your wellbeing and work-life balance, offering continued training and development opportunities, support, and flexible working (where operations allow) to help you manage your personal commitments alongside your role at the heart of British intelligence.
