Applying at the ICO

The ICO is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion in employment and we welcome applications from all members of the community. We would particularly like to encourage applications from women and from people who are from a BAME background, who are currently under-represented at a senior level within our organisation.

The applicant tracking system performs better using internet browsers such as Firefox or Google Chrome. Please ensure that you leave plenty of time to complete your application to ensure that deadlines are met.

If you experience any problems with the system please contact Vacancy Filler on 01509 236 434. Their opening hours are Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.

For vacancies advertised through Hays, please use the contact details listed on each job advert.

COVID-19

Due to the current pandemic, some details of our recruitment process have changed. Interviews are currently taking place virtually, and successful applicants are starting their careers with the ICO at home rather than in the office.

Having an interview by video link will be new to many people. Visit our Hints and tips page for some useful hints and guidance on attending a video interview.

Since we started working remotely in March 2020, we have successfully onboarded over 100 new starters remotely. We’ve moved our full induction process online, with all sessions being carried out via Microsoft Teams to give new starters all the information they need when starting their new role.
