About Met Office

Would you like to help us to make a difference to our planet by delivering extraordinary impact and benefit to people’s lives across the globe?

The Met Office is the UK’s national meteorological service. We are the experts in weather and climate forecasting, and we skilfully predict the weather for today, tomorrow, next week and next season while looking further ahead at how the climate may change over the coming decades.

Through world-leading science and cutting-edge technology, our teams support government, business and industry, emergency responders, the military and the public to make informed decisions to keep people safe and help them to thrive. We also collaborate with organisations around the world to provide vital weather and climate services and advance global understanding through research.

Whatever area you work in, you’ll be developed and fascinated in a career where whatever you do, your work will make a valuable contribution to the bigger picture.

A career to be proud of.

In helping you to stay safe and thrive, we have a set of values that are at the heart of the Met Office. These are: We’re A Force For Good, We’re Experts By Nature, We Live and Breathe It, We’re Better Together, We Keep Evolving. They inform how we work, our behaviours, how we engage with our customers and how we recruit talented and diverse people to help us achieve our aims now and in the future.

Whether you are a school or college leaver, or looking to retrain, apprenticeships offer a fantastic chance to work whilst learning and gaining a qualification. We currently have apprentices in various professions across the organisation including Engineering, Technology, HR and Project Management ranging from Level 2 to Level 6.
