“Our Intelligence Officers work secretly around the globe to protect the security and economic wellbeing of the UK from overseas threats such as regional instability, terrorism, and cyber-attacks.
“Working in close partnership with MI5 and GCHQ, we help the Government to counter these threats through the provision of secret intelligence.
“It’s a fascinating and diverse role where you’ll use everyday skills – including communication, problem-solving, and empathy – to tackle extraordinary challenges.
“It’s genuinely interesting and rewarding work.
“IOs work across four main areas, Operational Managers, who are responsible for planning operations while identifying and managing risks.
“Targeters, who are tasked with turning information, such as data, into operations alongside our partner agencies.
“Reporting Officers, who link us with Whitehall and our intelligence customers and are responsible for validating and testing the intelligence as well as briefing ministers.
‘Case Officers, who build and manage relationships with agents – the people who pass us the intelligence we need.”
But he adds: “In fact, your work will look much like any other office role – and like any other job, you’ll usually be contactable if your family and friends need you.
“We don’t expect you to be a fully trained IO when you join; it’s your potential that we’re interested in.
“That’s why you’ll begin your career here on the three-year Intelligence Officer Training Pathway, where you’ll learn everything you need to know about being an IO.
“You’ll have your own workload to look after, but you’ll also have plenty of support at your fingertips.”
Applications are now open.
