Job summary:

As an important part of the Ministry of Defence, Defence Intelligence (DI) provides intelligence analysis, specialist outputs and advice that supports decision making across government.

At the heart of DI, is the National Centre for Geospatial Intelligence (NCGI).

Everything happens somewhere.

NCGI produces intelligence that is referenced in time and space to help decision makers to understand, plan, navigate, and target.

What we do is help decision makers to understand what is going on.

We are the primary provider of geospatial intelligence advice and expertise, comprising imagery intelligence, geospatial analysis, geospatial services, foundation data and military mapping and, in partnership with the UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) and the Meteorological Office, assured data for safety of navigation.

We are a national capability, recognisably operating alongside other national intelligence agencies and are the UK's primary interface for international geospatial intelligence partners.

You may think you need to be an analyst or have an intelligence background to work for NCGI; this is not true.

There is a wide range of exciting roles available.

Without our highly dedicated teams of enabling staff, such as IT support, finance, security, and facilities management, our critical outputs would just not be possible.

We employ many Civil servants who play a pivotal role in Defence, nationally and internationally, and we are proud to be part of a diverse, forward thinking, broad organisation.

An exciting opportunity had arisen to join the small, hardworking and dedicated RAF Wyton Accounts Team.
