Working at MI6
Dedicated to your growth
Working for MI6 may not be what you expect. Being a secret organisation can present some unique challenges, such as what you can tell people about where you work. In so many other ways though, we are just like any other organisation. We have an HR department and project managers, there’s a design team, a wellbeing team, staff canteen and an on-site gym.
Keeping our identities secret
A diverse, supportive workplace
We are ordinary people doing extraordinary things. As a relatively small organisation, we pride ourselves on supporting each other and having a shared sense of purpose, values and experiences. Working so closely together on sensitive topics makes for a real sense of community. Even better, we have a diverse workforce with differing perspectives, backgrounds and mindsets, all working together within an inclusive environment.
