Information Specialists: about us

Our Information and Knowledge Services team leads the department's strategic approach to information and knowledge management.

There are over 40 Information Specialists in the team and we use our professional skills to fulfil a range of services.

In the course of a career here you could find yourself working within our Knowledge Centre providing accurate and time-sensitive information services to support intelligence analysis and telecommunications research, or working with all areas of the department to ensure business processes reflect the latest thinking on knowledge management.

Equally you could be managing and exploiting web technologies; ensuring that good information architecture underlies our data storage or advising on information retrieval tools and techniques.

We're committed to helping you to continue your professional development and to acquire the skills you need to meet the challenges of the changing information world. We operate a job rotation policy, so there would be opportunities to change your duties and try a range of the types of work we do. Your initial posting would be arranged, where possible, to take account of your aptitudes and preferences.

You would also have opportunities to take part in other professional activities inside and outside the Department. Whatever path you take, you can be sure that you would be working in a challenging team environment, committed to the provision of quality services.
