The Home Office is here to make our country safer. As well as working to reduce crime and enforce the law, we also work to protect the most vulnerable and have a proud history of providing refuge to those who have been displaced or are seeking asylum. Whether it’s fighting crime, protecting our borders or combating slavery, the Home Office is at the cutting edge of public policy in this country and our work is some of the most challenging and rewarding in government.

The Migration and Borders Group has a far-reaching and comprehensive programme which encompasses policy, legislation and reform of the immigration systems and includes many of the most high-profile policy areas for the Home Office; asylum, migration, nationality, extradition, citizens’ rights and borders. To achieve its aims, the Migration and Borders Group works closely with Border Force, UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), Her Majesty`s Passport Office (HMPO), Immigration Enforcement (IE), and other partner organisations and government departments.

The challenges and opportunities the Home Office and Migration & Borders faces are varied and change rapidly, making it one of the most exciting and stimulating parts of government to work in. Our careers are varied and rewarding, attracting people from all backgrounds and walks of life. There is no such thing as a ‘typical’ member of the team.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity and inclusion at the Home Office. We are committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive workplace where all our people are able to bring their whole selves to work and perform at their best.
