At GCHQ, we unlock the complex world of data and communications to keep the UK and its citizens safe, both in the real world and online. Working closely with our British Intelligence partners in MI5 and MI6, we protect the UK from threats including serious organised crime, terrorism, and cyber-attacks. A role in GCHQ means you’ll have varied and fascinating work in a supportive and encouraging environment that puts the emphasis on teamwork.

Analysts work at the very heart of our mission. You’ll support real-world events and have privileged insight - seeing behind the news headlines and contributing to work that really matters. Our analysts work in a rapidly changing technological environment, problem solving every day. No two days are the same here, but whatever the situation, you’ll be supported by your colleagues. You’ll work with bespoke technology, finding information from different places, including a high volume of data generated by many internet-connected devices. You’ll use your analytical skills to piece everything together and make sense of it.

You’ll be trusted to take real responsibility for your work and encouraged to try new things – there’s no set formula for analysis. The work is a mixture of short-term urgent situations and longer-term projects lasting months and sometimes even years. It’s a constant challenge to track adversaries and you’ll learn quickly about the technology they are using. Your analysis could help inform foreign policy, law enforcement and national security.

It may be possible to work reduced hours if you require. However, it’s advisable to be full-time during the initial training programme in order to absorb and consolidate your learning. If this does not sound feasible, we can discuss ways to support you during this period. We also offer flexible working hours, outside of classroom training times. Our normal working days are Monday to Friday. You would not be expected to work at weekends or to undertake shift work.

Training and Development

We have an excellent bespoke training and development programme, where you’ll learn alongside other new analysts in a classroom setting and in the workplace. You’ll be guided by knowledgeable tutors and supported by analyst mentors every step of the way. In the workplace you’ll soon be dealing with real life problems with support from colleagues too. Continuous professional development is a key aspect of the analyst role.

We’re looking for people who enjoy making sense of complex information and doing challenging puzzles. Sometimes the outcome is not what you want but there’s always something that can be learned – so you’ll need resilience and perseverance. You’ll be keen to learn new things and be interested in new technologies, though we don’t expect you to have a technical background. We have a welcoming and supportive environment. We want a mix of minds, including people of all ages and backgrounds from across our society, who can see and understand things from different perspectives. It’s not as formal or secretive as you might think.

This role is open to those with or without a degree. All you need is a Level 2 (GCSE-equivalent) qualification in English Language and Maths at Grade 4/C or above - it’s your skills and mindset that are key.

If you do have a degree or another higher qualification, you can still apply and you’ll be just as engaged with exciting work you’ll not find anywhere else – your qualifications are just the starting point!

Key skills and mindset are:

• Problem solving
• Persistence
• Resilience
• Inquisitiveness
• An interest in technology (and the future evolution of communications technology)
• Keen to learn new things
• Ability to work collaboratively with others and share knowledge

You’ll receive a starting salary of £32,092 plus other benefits including:

• Learning and development tailored to your role
• An environment with flexible working options
• A culture encouraging inclusion and diversity
• 25 Days Annual Leave automatically rising to 30 days after 5 years’ service, and an additional 10.5 days public and privilege holidays
• Opportunities to be recognised through our employee performance scheme
• Opportunities to work flexibly, subject to business needs
• Interest-free season ticket loan
• Excellent pension scheme
• Cycle to work scheme
• Facilities such as a subsidised gym and restaurant, and on-site coffee bars
• Paid parental and adoption leave
