Overview
At FCDO Services we protect the UKs interests at home and overseas. We design and construct secure government buildings and courier diplomatic packages worldwide, safeguard government tech and a whole lot more. Our work is varied and vital, and we value our people—their skills, aspirations and growth matter as much as the global mission we’re on.
The Digital Sensitivity Review service enables UK Government departments to meet Public Records legislation by selecting, reviewing and transferring records for permanent preservation at The National Archives. The growth in digital records means the team is embracing AI and other advanced technologies to tackle complex challenges. The work protects the UKs relations with other countries, our defence interests, the intelligence services, and personal data, all within a legal framework.
Preserving important records; Protecting secure data; Embracing new technologies. It all matters.
Do meaningful work on historical records.
What youll do
As Assistant Sensitivity Reviewer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the records at The National Archives. Your day-to-day job will involve reading and conducting a sensitivity review of documents covering history, politics and current affairs. Following our guidance and processes, you will decide whether information should be released or withheld under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or the Public Records Act (PRA).
Once trained, you’ll be expected to work autonomously: determining your own priorities, liaising with external and internal stakeholders, and maintaining up-to-date records. You will actively contribute to discussions on improving ways of working.
Please note that remote working isn’t an option given the work that we do. However, we are a close-knit, supportive team, made up of people with a variety of experiences.
What you’ll bring
While we will train you as a Sensitivity Reviewer, you’ll bring a high level of security awareness, a substantial understanding of political and diplomatic sensitivities, and an understanding of the Public Records Act, FOI Act and Data Protection Act.

We will assess you on Civil Service Behaviours; the three most important for the job are making effective decisions, working together, and managing a quality service. To be a good fit for our team, you’ll collaborate well and feel comfortable working independently. A natural interest in current affairs, history and politics will help you thrive. Desirable: experience of records management. Required: Level 6 qualification (Degree Apprenticeship, BA or BSc Hons Degree, Graduate Diploma, NVQ Level 6).
