To tackle this crime we need a diverse team of talented individuals who are prepared to think differently and open to trying new approaches. You don’t need to be a cyber expert to join the team. We are actively looking to recruit people from all different walks of life who can bring new perspectives and experiences.
Meet Tom – a recent Politics Graduate from the University of Bath who has joined the Prevent team for a year in industry
What attracted you to this opportunity?
I had a friend who recommended the NCCU as a place to work. I was really fascinated about Cyber and as I didn't have a technical background – I wanted to find a route in that didn't require this of me. I was also really keen to work for a Government organisation.
What are you hoping to get out of the experience?
I am looking forward to living in London, working in a fast pace environment and learning more about Cyber. I am also keen to understand what opportunities there are for me with regards to my career within the NCA and am taking the opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues.
Meet Serena – a recent Health & Medicine Graduate from Kings College London
What attracted you to this opportunity?
I was looking for the opportunity to expand my experience and in particular around project management. I wanted to lead on projects and be able to demonstrate that I can adapt to new situations.
What are you hoping to get out of the experience?
At the interview I asked about career progression and development opportunities. My Line Manager has been great at talking to me about this and looking for opportunities where I can develop and grow.
Meet Rafi – a Masters graduate who joined the NCCU for a 3 month internship in 2019 (and now has a full time role)
What were the main highlights?
I was given a big project and had 3 months to do it. I loved the autonomy I was provided and I got exposure to really senior stakeholders across government. I had the opportunity to present my final report and it's great to know that it's being used and has served an important purpose.
How did you find the NCCU to work for?
There are amazing training opportunities in this unit (10 development days opposed to 5 in the rest of the Agency). Also the scale of what we’re involved in is really exciting –you really feel as though you are doing worthwhile and important work.
We asked some of our employees, "why should someone want to come and work at the NCCU?" and here's what we heard.
Join the NCCU and make a difference to one of the gravest threats to national security. We can’t always talk about everything we’re working on, but when we can, it hits the headlines.
Cyber crime is fast paced and ever-evolving and so it’s critical that we keep up. It’s work that truly makes a difference. All of the teams within the NCCU have access to the latest and most cutting edge tactics to tackle cyber crime.
We Are Inquisitive: We don’t just accept, we ask questions and we always seek to know more.
We Value Team Work: We use our diversity to bring together different skillsets and work as one to encourage innovation and constructive challenge.
We Want to Meet You: We are a team who truly care about one another and invest time in building relationships.
In addition to our great benefits package, here are some of the other benefits NCCU employees wanted to shout about.
We Work Flexibly: Not just with regards to the hours that we work, but also in the work that we do, there is opportunity to put your hand up to work on different things, grow your skillset and be the best you can be.
We Invest in your Development: We offer a number of training days per year – these are days you can take to invest in your own development and we support you to do so.
We Learn about the World: We spend a lot of time speaking to people; people from different countries, from different cultures and with different experiences and this is something we love about our job.
