IT and Customer Service Support

Asset Administrator


Diversity and inclusion are critical to our mission. We recognise how vital it is that our workforce reflects the diverse communities we seek to protect. Having diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, and ways of thinking helps to ensure that we always challenge each other and make sure that we are getting it right. We welcome and encourage applications from everyone, including from under-represented groups.


ABOUT US
 
As one of Britain’s intelligence agencies, we unlock the complex world of communications to make a real difference to the safety of the nation. We work closely with our partners in the intelligence community to safeguard Britain’s people, interests, and businesses from various threats. Think serious organised crime, such as people and drugs trafficking, or cyber-attacks. It’s challenging and varied work that you won’t find anywhere else.

 
REQUIREMENTS

A minimum of 2 GCSEs (maths and English) grade 5 or above (A-C grades); or O-Level grade A-C; or equivalent. Also, candidates are to score a minimum pass in the competency questions section of the application form.

We’re looking for talented, flexible and committed individuals from all backgrounds. You should have a strong focus on customer requirements able to engage with a whole range of teams and individuals including external agencies. You will need an eye for detail and be able to work in an area requiring a high degree of accuracy and compliance, providing guidance and advice to customers. With a willingness to learn and adapt to changing priorities, you’ll thrive in a post where teamwork and relationship building is key.  Our work is of utmost importance to the UK, and you will directly be supporting that work by helping to ensure that the organisation maintains complete assurance over sensitive IT assets and that our staff have access to the right information.

If you’re excited about working with us and think you have some of what we’re looking for but aren’t sure if you’re 100% there yet… Back yourself and give it a go
