Just like TV, most of what we do is secret. And we do work on some fascinating operations. But in reality, we’re ordinary people, doing extraordinary work within the law.
We might be known as the ‘domestic intelligence service’ but our role is to protect the UK's citizens and interests, both at home and abroad. Because threats such as terrorism and espionage often originate and operate overseas, we often work closely with MI6 and GCHQ, as well as overseas intelligence agencies and police forces.
How you can join us
You don’t need a degree to join us. If you want to apply for our Admin Officer role, just bring five GCSEs (or equivalent) at grades A*-C/9-4. Or, if you’re interested in one of our Technical Apprenticeships, bring three A-Levels (or equivalent), two in a STEM subject at grades BBC or above.
We’ll give you training, lots of encouragement and a mentor who’ll be with you all the way. Whichever role you join us in, you’ll experience real variety while you’re playing a vital role in keeping the UK safe. Still at school? If you’re aged 17, you can apply today and join once you’re 18 years old.
