Business Enablers

We are MI5, our mission is to keep the UK safe. MI5 protects our national security from threats such as terrorism and espionage. Our operations are hugely varied, which is why increasing the diversity of our people is needed more than ever before.

There’s no one ‘type’ of person we recruit. Inclusion is at the heart of our mission. With your perspective, we’ll see the world more clearly. To join, you’ll have (or be expecting) a 2:2 degree or above in any degree discipline or have work experience where you have obtained some of the skills and qualities required for the role. But no matter your experience or background, you’ll get lots of dedicated support when you join.

Whether you’ve just graduated or want a career change, you’ll develop your skills, have a hugely positive impact and be at the heart of what we do. As a Business Enabler at MI5, you will play an essential role in protecting national security. The support you give in one of our many corporate or mission enabling positions will help the wider intelligence business work smoothly. It’s varied work that’ll give you lots of interesting insights.

You’ll work in a corporate or mission enabling role and collaborate with a range of business areas. When you join, you won’t be rotated around different departments. Instead, your first post will typically last for a minimum of two years. You might be based in one of the following areas: Finance, Legal, Information Management, HR, Project Management, Compliance, Recruitment, Policy, and Data Management. And that’s just to name a few.

The application window for the Business Enabler role will open on 19th June 2023. In the meantime, we are looking for individuals who are from an Ethnic Minority background*, to register their interest in this forthcoming opportunity. As part of the registration of interest, you will be invited to an online event prior to the campaign opening.

Please note that a registration of interest does not constitute a job application, nor will such registration have any bearing upon the recruitment process itself.  Any individuals who register their interest and who decide subsequently to apply to the Business Enabler role, will need to complete an application form once the window for applications has opened.

* We are confining registrations of interest to those from an Ethnic Minority background only, due to their current under-representation in our workforce.  Once the application window has opened, we will welcome applications from all candidates, regardless of their ethnic background, gender, disability and/or any other characteristic(s).  All applications will be assessed solely on merit.
