Administrative Officer

at  MI5 The Security Service

JOB SUMMARY

MI5 keeps the country safe from serious threats like terrorism and attempts by states to harm the UK, its people and way of life. We carry out investigations by obtaining, analysing and assessing intelligence, and then work with a range of partners, including MI6 and GCHQ to disrupt these threats. Through our protective security arm, we provide advice and guidance to government, businesses and other organisations about how to keep themselves safe. A role in MI5 means you’ll do unique and challenging work in a supportive and encouraging environment, making a real difference to UK national security.
MI5’s mission is to keep the country and its people safe. It means we have really rewarding careers that rely on people with varied backgrounds, ages and skills – just like our Admin Officer role. Whether you’ve just finished school or are returning to work after a break, whether you choose to work full-time or part-time, you’ll have a hugely positive impact and be at the heart of what we do. It’s a chance to develop your skills and get plenty of support along the way.

JOB DESCRIPTION

You’ll be allocated to a department depending on business need at the time of appointment, and therefore you won’t know which area you will be working in until you join the organisation. It’s all an exciting part of the unknown.

To give you an idea of potential first postings, they can include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Finance
• Recruitment
• Post Room
• Pass Office
• Investigative Information Management Hub

Regardless of the department you are placed in, each position offers a range of tasks, diverse challenges and interesting insights. Each day will look a bit different but typically you’ll be managing email inboxes, organising meetings, managing information and records, booking travel, looking after visitors and providing essential support to our business. It’s all about helping us to run smoothly.

NATIONALITY REQUIREMENTS

Open to UK nationals only.
