Systems Operations: how to apply

The timing of recruitment campaigns varies, and tailored application forms only become available during each campaign.

We advertise in the national press and on various Internet job boards. Vacancies are posted on the recruitment website, www.careersinbritishintelligence.co.uk, and you can apply online from there.

Please pay particular attention to the nationality rules, which require you, among other conditions, to be a British citizen. Candidates whose spouses or cohabitees are not British may also be ineligible for security clearance. Each case is considered on its merits, however, so check with us on this point as early as you can in your application.

Selection starts with a sift of your application, followed by an assessment centre, which comprises psychometric testing, a group exercise, technical and competency-based interviews
