Our mission is to keep safe and capable submarines at sea today and in the future.

We need a capable and credible nuclear deterrent to successfully deter the most extreme threats to our national security and way of life.


We are recruiting for an Executive Assistant to support the Defence Nuclear Enterprise People and Skills leadership team (the Senior Responsible Owner and Programme Director).
