Department- Languages- Location(s)- Cheltenham, Central London- Hours of Work- Full-time and part-time opportunities (flexible working hours available)- Salary- £32,092 - £39,951 (dependent on location)- Job description**About Us**
MI5, MI6 and GCHQ are the UK’s Intelligence Services. We work together to safeguard Britain’s people, interests and businesses from various threats at home, overseas and online, including cyber-attacks, espionage, terrorism, and organised crime. Working across our vital missions, you’ll deliver impact at the heart of national security, all within a supportive and inclusive environment that allows everyone to thrive.
**The Role**
You’ll be part of multi-disciplinary team within the wider context of national intel delivery, helping to shape and progress our efforts to make operational impact where it counts most. As an expert in applied language use, you’ll use your cultural knowledge alongside your linguistic skills to provide critical insights, ensuring intelligence is understood by our operational teams.
At MI5 and MI6, you’ll need to be competent in reading, writing, speaking and listening to Persian, as you’ll be translating, transcribing and interpreting a range of materials, carrying out research and sharing your findings. This will support the operational work you do that includes targeting, casework, training or operational planning and management. Collaboration is key, as you share your knowledge and contribute to language profession initiatives as well as professional standards of best practice. You’ll also use your basic analysis skills alongside your language work.
At GCHQ, you’ll combine your language, technical and analytical skills to piece together snippets of information collected from a variety of digital communication sources. You’ll work closely with your operational teams as well as other governmental departments, identifying reportable intelligence, that will progress operations, as well as shape and influence government policy.
**About You**
You don’t need any experience to join MI5, MI6 or GCHQ, just active and passive language skills, excellent written English and a good knowledge of Iranian culture, history, religion and politics. Your language skills could come from growing up in a multi-lingual family, undergoing language training in the military or studying Persian to a high level elsewhere, for example at university. A hearing test may be carried out during the process, the result of which will be considered alongside the role requirements on a case-by-case basis. You’ll require a high level of Persian knowledge (broadly equivalent to C1 on the CEFR scale, available online) and great cultural, historical, religious and political expertise.
**Training and Development**
At MI5, MI6 and GCHQ, we’re committed to ensuring you have the support and guidance you need to build a rewarding career at the heart of national security. From language events and workshops, through to acquiring professional qualifications, the strong learning culture at all three Agencies will continuously develop you, your knowledge and skills.
As part of the selection process for MI5 and MI6, we’ll identify specific areas for development and tailor a training plan to meet your needs. When you join, you’ll have an induction and be assigned a buddy from the same language area to help you settle in and a profession head to oversee your career interests. You’ll receive training in applied skills such as interpretation, as well as gaining access to a range of language and non-language training opportunities, including our corporate Academy.
GCHQ has an equally strong development offering. Working alongside experienced linguists, you’ll be learning every day from a community of language experts who’ll share their knowledge and encourage your contributions. As well as being assigned a buddy on day one, you’ll undertake a comprehensive induction package that spans multiple areas of the business to see how Persian language is used. Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL) qualifications can be attained, and you’ll also have opportunities to upskill which in turn will attract financial rewards.
**Rewards and Benefits**
At GCHQ you’ll receive a starting salary of £32,092. Upon successful completion of the 6-month probationary period, you’ll be eligible for an additional payment of £3,000 per annum in recognition of your language skill.
At MI6 and MI5 you’ll receive a starting salary of £34,414 - £39,951 (plus, the possibility to qualify for additional language allowances once in role).
Other benefits include:
- 25 Days Annual Leave automatically rising to 30 days after 5 years' service, and an additional 10.5 days public and privilege holidays(which at GCHQ can be used on dates that best suit your needs)
- Opportunities to be recognised through our employee performance scheme
- Interest-free season ticket loan
- Excellent pensio
