The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a vital mission to secure the nation from the many threats we face.

This mission requires the dedication of more than 250,000 employees in jobs that range from aviation to border security, emergency response, and cybersecurity analyst to chemical facility inspector. We are fully committed to inclusive diversity as it enhances the Department’s ability to engage with the public it serves, and to recruit top-tier talent.

DHS continues to lead employees into a safe and inclusive environment that prioritizes employee wellness. The Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer has designed an integrated approach to develop our team members, help them feel heard, and thoughtfully care for our employees and their families.

With five distinct mission areas related to securing the Homeland, the Department of Homeland Security is the ideal employer to maximize your skills and training to create a future of endless possibilities that protect the Homeland, all while DHS takes care of you.
