We’ll soon be recruiting for Technology Graduates at MI5 and MI6 in Central London. Whichever role you choose to apply for, you’ll work as part of several welcoming teams and develop your skills, knowledge and experience in a supportive environment.

Whichever specialism you choose, you’ll enjoy an extensive combination of on-the-job and formal training. We’ll provide ongoing support to ensure you get the most out of the scheme, including mentorship and coaching and access to staff networks. And you’ll have every opportunity to develop, whether that’s taking on team-building activities such as challenges and presentations alongside your peers, or developing your personal and leadership skills. Plus, we’ll fund further external and accredited training and qualifications to support your future career.

What we are looking for

There’s no ‘type’ of person we’re looking for. If you’re enthusiastic to learn, passionate about technology and have a positive attitude to personal development, we’re keen to hear from you. You’ll also need to have (or be expecting) a 2:2 by September 2026 in a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) subject.

We’d particularly encourage women and people from Black, Asian or other ethnic minority backgrounds to register their interest for these roles. We recognise these groups are currently underrepresented in our workforce. It’s vital that we create a culture where different insights, perspectives and experiences are welcomed – and where you’ll always be encouraged to contribute, shape our work and be yourself.
