On this Software Engineering Apprenticeship you'll get exposure to some of the world's most cutting-edge technologies along with practical insights into the innovative ways we use software to provide security to our customers and protect the UK.  

If you have a passion for technology, an interest in solving problems and the enthusiasm to learn new skills, working in MI5 or MI6 will give you the chance to have a direct and rewarding impact.

You'll earn while you learn, on a three-year fixed contract with a starting salary of £24,635 for London; £22,889 for Manchester, and an opportunity to obtain a recognised accreditation in the form of a level 6 apprenticeship.  

At MI5 and MI6 we believe that success depends on great minds not thinking alike. That's why as organisations we aspire to recruit and nurture the brightest talent and are building an inclusive workforce that reflects the diversity of the nation we serve.

For the duration of the apprenticeship, you must be able to live in or commute to Central London and Greater Manchester.
