Description

About us
MI5 and MI6 are part of the UK's Intelligence Services.

We work together to safeguard Britain's people, interests, and businesses from various threats at home, overseas, and online, including cyber-attacks, espionage, terrorism, and organised crime.

Working across our vital missions, you'll deliver impact at the heart of national security, all within a supportive and inclusive environment that allows everyone to thrive.

The role
We're increasingly data-driven organisations, where information is at the heart of everything we do.

As a Knowledge and Information Specialist, you'll maximise the impact of our data and make active contributions to our mission.

Working with a range of unique, interesting, and unusual information, you'll help us put data at the forefront of our business outcomes and inform key decision-making.

You'll help implement best practice and support the development of our community.

This is a customer-facing role where you'll provide advice and guidance on a range of different requirements while helping to shape your team's approach.

You'll engage with others across the business and ensure wider compliance and standards.

At both MI5 and MI6, you'll represent the Data and Information Department and its aims.

You'll likely complete your first role in a central team focusing on data, information or records management, to give you an understanding of our objectives.

Whichever organisation you join, you'll have a key role in enabling digital transformation.

You'll remain adaptable to technological changes, which could include overseeing a range of systems and ensuring developments in information management tools are implemented.

There may also be opportunities to contribute to the design and delivery of training packages.

You'll also receive a section-specific induction with members of the team to enable you to learn the specific requirements of your role.

Upon joining, you'll also be assigned a 'buddy' to provide help and advice on both the role and the organisation.

You'll receive a starting salary of £34,414 - £36,733 depending on experience plus other benefits including:
