Job Summary
Established in 2020, the National Cyber Force (NCF) is responsible for operating in and through cyberspace to counter, disrupt, degrade and contest those who would do harm to the UK or its allies, to keep the country safe and to protect and promote the UK’s interests at home and abroad.

The NCF is at the heart of this, extending the UK’s competitive edge as a responsible, democratic cyber power, by countering threats from terrorists, criminals and states using the internet to operate across borders in order to do harm to the UK and other democratic societies, countering threats which disrupt the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data and services in cyberspace (i.e. supporting cybersecurity), contributing to UK Defence operations, and helping deliver the UK’s foreign policy agenda (for example intervening in a humanitarian crisis to protect civilians). In addition to GCHQ and the Ministry of Defence, the Secret Intelligence Service and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory are core partners bringing cutting edge espionage and research techniques.
The NCF is establishing its future Headquarters in Samlesbury, Lancashire. Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Our vision is to have an empowered, productive, personally and professionally fulfilled workforce. Whatever your role, we take your career and development seriously. We want to enable you to build a
successful career with the Department and wider Civil Service. We are committed to understanding, respecting, and representing as broad a range of views and
backgrounds as we have in UK society. We know that diverse perspectives and experiences are critical to an effective, modern Civil Service.
This position is advertised at 37 hours per week.
