The Home Office is the Government Department responsible for internal affairs in England and Wales.

Our goal is to help build a safe, just and tolerant society, enhancing opportunities for all and in which rights and responsibilities go hand in hand.

"The Home Office has hugely challenging objectives, from reducing crime and the fear of crime to tackling drug abuse and unfounded asylum claims. To succeed we need not only to make enforcement more effective but to work more widely with other public services and the voluntary sector to change social behaviour and attitudes." John Gieve, Home Office Permanent Secretary.

In order to achieve this challenging agenda we are committed to seven key aims:

• Reducing crime and the fear of crime.
• Reducing organised and international crime and combating terrorism.
• Ensuring effective delivery of justice.
• Delivering effective custodial and community sentences to reduce re-offending and protect the public.
• Reducing availability and abuse of dangerous drugs.
• Regulating entry to and settlement in the UK in the interests of sustainable growth and social inclusion
• Supporting strong and active communities in which people of all races and backgrounds are valued and participate on equal terms.

The Home Office is changing fast. To help us transform the performance of delivery at the frontline, we need people with vision and a commitment to success. We're recruiting high achievers who can bring fresh perspectives and experience to make a real difference to people's lives.
