Department for Education

G7 Construction Quality Manager in Health, Safety, Quality, Workmanship Team – Remote Worker

Senior Software Developer D365 (up to £77,585)

<h4>Job summary</h4><p>MI5 keeps the country safe from serious threats like terrorism and attempts by states to harm the UK, its people and its way of life. We carry out investigations by obtaining, analysing and assessing intelligence, and then work with a range of partners, including MI6 and GCHQ, to disrupt these threats. Through our protective security arm, we provide advice and guidance to government, businesses, and other organisations about how to keep themselves safe. A role in MI5 means you’ll do unique and challenging work in a supportive and encouraging environment, making a real difference to UK national security. </p><p>To help you succeed, you’ll be working under the Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) Capability Framework, which recognises and rewards specialist expertise. This framework provides clear guidance for developing your skills and progressing your career, and while it’s broadly aligned to the Government Digital and Data Profession Capability Framework, it’s tailored to MI5’s unique mission.</p><p>Like many other big organisations in a data-driven world, MI5 is embarking on a transformation to ensure we keep our edge and continue keeping the country safe, with user-centred design at the heart of this. </p><h4>Job description</h4><p>As a User Researcher, you’ll play a key role in shaping products and services that truly meet user needs. Your work will uncover insights that inform decisions and help create solutions that make a real difference. </p><p>Joining our growing Experience Design Team, you'll play a vital role in shaping user-friendly solutions that meet real needs. Working closely with strategy, product, and engineering teams, you’ll develop research strategies, uncover insights, and ensure products and services are continually tested and refined. </p><p>Key responsibilities include:</p><ul><li>planning, designing, and running research activities with diverse user groups, while considering accessibility, ethics, and user diversity.</li><li>turning research insights into actionable solutions by collaborating with product managers, designers, and engineers, and creating high-quality deliverables such as personas, archetypes, customer journeys, and detailed reports.</li><li>sharing findings in compelling ways, championing user-centric thinking across MI5 and partner organisations, and empowering others to conduct quality research.</li></ul><p>You can expect occasional UK travel to collect valuable insights directly from users and teams.</p><h4>Person specification</h4><p>You bring experience as a User Researcher, or in a similar role, where you’ve planned, scoped, and delivered small-to-medium scale research, either independently or collaboratively.<br>A genuine interest in people's behaviour and what motivates them is essential. That curiosity may have led to exploring areas like AI and research ethics, and it shapes how you work with others. Building rapport comes naturally because understanding different perspectives matters, and thriving in collaborative environments is second nature. </p><p>You’ll also have:</p><ul><li>experience using a range of user research methods, supported by excellent planning, organisation, and documentation skills.</li><li>an ability to analyse and interpret research data, including statistical analysis, turning insights into clear, actionable findings and confidently communicating them to influence stakeholders.</li><li>familiarity with agile ways of working, including managing ambiguity and adapting in short, iterative sprints, as well as helping colleagues grow through knowledge sharing and mentorship. </li></ul><h4>Benefits</h4><p>From the moment you join us, you’ll receive full support. Your first week includes an introduction to our organisation, followed by an induction into the Technology and Product Department, the team you’ll be part of. You’ll also get guidance from Senior User Researchers and a buddy from the Experience Design team to help you settle in and navigate your new role. </p><p>We’re committed to developing our staff, and we recognise that this looks different for everyone. To support your growth, we’ll use the Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) Capability Framework as a compass, providing guidance and tools tailored to your needs. This framework helps shape your development journey, offering opportunities to gain qualifications, pursue specialist pathways, and access tailored training, coaching, and mentoring.</p><p>Throughout your career, you’ll have access to classroom-based and online learning, our own development programmes, and external providers, such as the Nielsen Norman Group. </p><p>If you're interested in attending industry events or conferences like UX London, we'll support that too, all during work hours because your development is a priority. </p><p>As you develop and maintain your technical skills, you’ll have the opportunity to progress through DDaT pay points. This means regularly demonstrating accrediting your skills against the framework. If you fall short of the required skills, we’ll provide the support you need to get back on track, as maintaining capability is essential for progression.</p><p><strong>Rewards and benefits</strong></p><p>You’ll receive a starting salary of £60,358 plus other benefits including: </p><ul><li>25 days annual leave, automatically rising to 30 days after 5 years' service, and an additional 10.5 days of public and privilege holidays.</li><li>opportunities to be recognised through our employee performance scheme.</li><li>dedicated development budget.</li><li>interest-free season ticket loan.</li><li>excellent pension scheme.</li><li>cycle-to-work scheme.</li><li>facilities such as a gym, restaurant, and on-site coffee bars (at some locations).</li><li>paid parental and adoption leave. </li></ul><h4>Things you need to know</h4><h4>Artificial intelligence</h4>Artificial intelligence can be a useful tool to support your application, however, all examples and statements provided must be truthful, factually accurate and taken directly from your own experience.

HM Land Registry

Counter Fraud Officer

<h4>Job summary</h4><p><strong>About us</strong></p><p>MI5 keeps the country safe from serious threats like terrorism and attempts by states to harm the UK, its people and its way of life. We carry out investigations by obtaining, analysing<br>and assessing intelligence, and then work with a range of partners, including MI6 and GCHQ to disrupt these threats. Through our protective security arm, we provide advice and guidance to government, businesses, and other organisations about how to keep themselves safe. A role in MI5 means you’ll do unique and challenging work in a supportive and encouraging environment, making a real difference to UK national security. </p><p>To help you succeed, you’ll be working under the Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) Capability Framework, which recognises and rewards specialist expertise. This framework provides clear guidance for developing your skills and progressing your career, and while it’s broadly aligned to the Government Digital and Data Profession Capability Framework, it’s tailored to MI5’s unique mission.</p><p>Like many other big organisations in a data-driven world, MI5 is embarking on a transformation to ensure we keep our edge and continue keeping the country safe, with user-centred design at the heart of this. </p><h4>Job description</h4><p><strong>The role</strong></p><p>As an Interaction Designer at MI5, you’ll design intuitive, user-friendly products that help keep the UK safe. You’ll join our growing Experience Design Team, reporting to the Head of Experience Design and collaborating with graphic designers, user researchers, and service designers.</p><p>Your passion, experience, and creative flair will help shape the future of MI5's mission capabilities. The role involves looking ahead to explore emerging technologies while reviewing existing systems and processes to identify improvements, turning insights into impactful solutions.</p><p>Key responsibilities include:</p><ul><li>supporting the scoping and planning of design projects under guidance from the team lead.</li><li>working with user researchers to gather and interpret data, transforming insights into solutions that meet user and business needs.</li><li>creating wireframes and prototypes for new products, while clearly communicating complex information to non-technical audiences.</li></ul><p>Beyond these core tasks, the role also contributes to design concepts for technology products and other solutions that improve user experience, whether that’s process, policy, or even physical spatial design. It involves advocating for users throughout the product lifecycle by running user testing, gathering feedback, and promoting robust UX principles across MI5. Identifying user issues to inform decisions on technology and value for money is another critical aspect of the work. </p><p>You can expect occasional UK travel to collect valuable insights directly from users and teams.</p><h4>Person specification</h4><p><strong>About you</strong></p><p>If you possess experience in delivering successful UX design outcomes across multiple initiatives, both independently and as part of a team, this could be the perfect opportunity for you. Your portfolio will tell the story of your practical ability, showcasing prototypes and artefacts created using tools such as Sketch, Axure, Adobe XD, InVision Studio, or Figma. </p><p>But technical skills alone aren’t enough. We’re looking for a collaborative, imaginative thinker who’s ready to challenge organisational norms and bring fresh ideas to the table. You’ll thrive if you’re comfortable working across the full product lifecycle and helping colleagues understand how digital technology is changing user behaviour, and the opportunities and challenges that brings.</p><p>Key strengths include:</p><ul><li>experience working in an agile, product-driven environment as part of a cross-functional team.</li><li>understanding of user-centred design practices and how to embed them into agile workflows while delivering timely findings.</li><li>excellent communication skills and confidence in explaining design decisions and complex information to a wider team.</li></ul><p>Beyond these, the role also calls for independence and good judgement, knowing when to seek guidance, as well as the ability to help colleagues understand how technology is shaping user behaviour. You’ll contribute ideas that improve user experience across processes, policies, and even physical spaces.</p><h4>Benefits</h4><p><strong>Training and development</strong></p><p>From the moment you join us, you’ll receive full support. Your first week includes an introduction to our organisation, followed by an induction into the Technology and Product Department, the team you’ll be part of. You’ll also get guidance from Senior User Researchers and a buddy from the Experience Design team to help you settle in and navigate your new role. </p><p>We’re committed to developing our staff, and we recognise that this looks different for everyone. To support your growth, we’ll use the Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) Capability Framework as a compass, providing guidance and tools tailored to your needs. This framework helps shape your development journey, offering opportunities to gain qualifications, pursue specialist pathways, and access tailored training, coaching, and mentoring.</p><p>Throughout your career, you’ll have access to classroom-based and online learning, our own development programmes, and external providers, such as the Nielsen Norman Group. </p><p>If you're interested in attending industry events or conferences like UX London, we'll support that too, all during work hours because your development is a priority. </p><p>As you develop and maintain your technical skills, you’ll have the opportunity to progress through DDaT pay points. This means regularly demonstrating accrediting your skills against the framework. If you fall short of the required skills, we’ll provide the support you need to get back on track, as maintaining capability is essential for progression.</p><p><strong>Rewards and benefits</strong></p><p>You’ll receive a starting salary of £60,358 plus other benefits including:</p><ul><li> 25 days annual leave, automatically rising to 30 days after 5 years' service, and an additional 10.5 days of public and privilege holidays.</li><li>opportunities to be recognised through our employee performance scheme.</li><li>dedicated development budget.</li><li>interest-free season ticket loan.</li><li>excellent pension scheme.</li><li>cycle-to-work scheme.</li><li>facilities such as a gym, restaurant, and on-site coffee bars (at some locations).</li><li>paid parental and adoption leave.</li></ul><h4>Things you need to know</h4><h4>Artificial intelligence</h4>Artificial intelligence can be a useful tool to support your application, however, all examples and statements provided must be truthful, factually accurate and taken directly from your own experience.
