A licence to middle manage is being offered by MI5 as it advertises for team leaders for the first time.

Promising "varied and stimulating" roles for the right people, the security service has placed adverts on the internet and in national papers.

Under the slogan "see all of your best work go unnoticed" it hopes to dispel some misconceptions about spies.

The service began a recruitment drive last year and plans to take on an extra 1,000 people by 2008.
