I am delighted that you are interested in joining the Home Office.

This is a pivotal moment in our Department’s history as we set out to deliver an ambitious transformation agenda, learning lessons from our past and making the most of the opportunities the future presents.

I want One Home Office to transform our Department into a place where every one of us feels proud, not just of our own contribution, but also of what we are doing as an organisation so that together we can create a safe, fair and prosperous UK.

This is about a culture change, focussing on continuous improvement, bettering ourselves, improving our diversity and our ways of working with each other, enhancing integration, allowing us to be even more focused on delivering for our customers.

Our values, which are to be respectful, compassionate, courageous, and collaborative, must underpin everything that we do.

Working in the Home Office brings heavy responsibilities, but also the great privilege of helping shape the response to hugely important and challenging issues that really matter to Ministers and the public, and leading and supporting our fantastic colleagues in doing so. You could be the person to help us take the next steps on that journey.

I’m glad you are interested in being part of this Department and welcome your application.

Mathew Rycroft

Permanent Secretary
