About UsIt’s not every day that your tech skills can help protect national security, but that’s exactly what you’ll do if you join the UK’s Intelligence Services. Here, your work has a different kind of impact, and it’s one that affects everyone.Collectively we’re the UK’s Intelligence Services, but we’re made up of three different agencies that all act and use technology in different ways.MI5 keeps the country safe from serious threats like terrorism and attempts by states to harm the UK, its people and way of life. They carry out investigations by obtaining, analysing and assessing intelligence, and then work with a range of partners, including MI6 and GCHQ to disrupt these threats.MI6 are the UK’s secret intelligence service, and they work secretly around the world to make the UK safer and more prosperous. They focus on developing foreign contacts, gathering intelligence, and navigating any risks to the UK’s national security, economy and military. They also work to resolve international conflict and prevent the spread of weapons.GCHQ are the UK’s intelligence and cyber agency, protecting the country using cutting-edge technology, technical creativity and a wide range of partnerships. They use our capabilities to work against terrorism, cyberthreats, and serious and organised crime.

Technology is central to this goal, which is why we’re always looking for people with different talents, skills, and perspectives to join us.Work in different places and spaces.People often assume that a work-life balance isn’t possible given the nature of the work we do.
