MI5, MI6 and GCHQ collaborate to counter threats such as terrorism, cyber-crime and espionage to protect the UK from harm. MI5’s mission is to protect people and places here in the UK. MI6 do the same, by countering threats to the UK from overseas. And GCHQ work to keep the country safe both in the real world and online.
Each organisation has a different focus, but one thing we share is a love for the latest technologies. Developing and working with the kind of tech that doesn’t exist anywhere else, we can stay one step ahead of our adversaries. And to remain cutting-edge organisations we rely on peoples’ passion for STEM.
Talk to anyone about the Intelligence Agencies and chances are the first thing that comes to mind are the spies we see in film and television. The reality is quite different. We are more diverse than ever, and welcome people from a whole mix of different backgrounds.
There’s a variety of different roles and pathways to join for people with equally varied experiences, insights and perspectives. That way, we can best represent the country we serve.
