MI6 is hiring a security guard to protect its real-life James Bonds.
Secret agents like 007 are based out of the Secret Intelligence Service’s HQ in Vauxhall, south London.
But bosses want a £45,839-per-year tough person to protect them.
Applicants for the Security Officer vacancy will need a “good level of physical fitness” for the role.
But there is also a gym onsite for them to beef up in.
They will carry out searches on people coming to the MI6 base to protect agents from potential harm.
Job hopefuls will monitor security systems too and respond to alarms.
The permanent job will be for an average of 48 hours per week.
But working at weekends, nights, and bank holidays will be required.
Perks include 25 days holiday a year, rising to 30 days after five years.
Applicants will also be added to the “excellent” pension scheme and will be offered an interest-free loan for train travel.
There is also a restaurant and coffee bars at the offices.
