As a Senior Admin Officer, you’ll work as part of a large, multi-skilled research team, delivering analysis to support the vetting process across the UK’s Intelligence Services. It’s a role where, once fully trained, you’ll work with a high degree of autonomy and use your own judgement, all to support our mission to keep the UK safe.

Vetting is vitally important to what we do because it ensures that the people who have access to some of the UK’s most sensitive information can be trusted. Everyone who works within the UK’s Intelligence Services goes through vetting, so it’s crucial that our decision making is evidence-based, accurate and consistent. That’s where you come in.

Day to day, you’ll complete research and analysis on a range of data that helps build a picture of someone’s suitability to hold security clearance. Using a variety of tools and methods, which we’ll train you in, you’ll both find information and assess it, spotting links between different pieces of data as you drive your caseload forward. Once you’ve finished your analysis, you’ll write reports containing your findings, which will be used to support decision making by our Vetting Officers.

It’s a fast-paced role, where you’ll need to have a keen eye for detail, be able to prioritise your workload independently, and meet strict deadlines. Whether you’re at the beginning of your career, returning to work after a break, or are looking for a new challenge, this role has the potential to begin a career with the UK’s Intelligence Services where you’ll be key to maintaining the integrity of one of our most crucial processes.

• Be comfortable using your initiative and talking to a range of people
• Have attention to detail, even when working to tight deadlines

We’re interested in what makes you, you. There’s no one ‘type’ of person that we’re after. Whether you choose to work full time or part time, you’ll feel part of a large, welcoming there’s plenty of support and training on offer. If you have a disability or long-term health condition, just let us know if you need any adjustments made during the recruitment process or if you have any questions about how we can support you once you’re in role.
