I am so pleased you are interested in joining Home Office Team HR. We are delighted to have received an exceptional response to recent adverts to join the Home Office HR team. We are currently not accepting any further applications however we would be pleased to register your details and contact you for any future vacancies that may arise.

The Home Office has a compelling and simple agenda: to keep our borders secure and our citizens safe. Across three main groupings - Office for Counter Extremism and Security, Public Protection and Immigration and Borders – our employees number more than 25,000, in a variety of roles, from Policy Making and Working with Ministers to those delivering front-line operations.

Not only is it the significance of this Department’s work and the variety and dedication of our employees that attracted me to be part of the Home Office, but the unprecedented transformation that is taking place – with the business prioritising the People Agenda at its heart.

My senior team and I are seeking experienced HR Professionals to join our friendly HR team who understand how we as professionals can help business leaders to unlock the potential of their teams. We are part of the wider Civil Service HR community and as such benefit from first class HR development and networking. The opportunities for professional autonomy, impact and self-development are very real and highly engaging. We work hard, and we respect the need for integration between work and life – I role model this by working flexibly.
