MI6 and GCHQ are part of the UK’s Intelligence Services. We work together to protect Britain’s people, interests and businesses from threats including cyber-attacks, espionage, terrorism, and organised crime. As an Arabic Language Specialist, you’ll deliver impact at the heart of national security - within a supportive, inclusive environment that allows everyone to thrive.

Whether you’re based at MI6 or GCHQ, you’ll bring your linguistic expertise to real operations. You’ll carry out translations, produce reports, and support our operational teams with mission-critical requirements.

At MI6, you’ll be integral to operational and delivery cycles. As an expert in applied language use (with knowledge of Arabic to at least C1 level), you’ll translate a range of materials, carry out research and deliver clear, accurate intelligence to operational teams. Working as part of a community of linguists, you’ll manage your own workload as you combine translation with operational tasks such as casework, training, or operational planning and management. So, you’ll enjoy working with others and be comfortable sharing your findings with colleagues at all levels.

At GCHQ, you’ll be responsible for vital language work on high priority missions. Working with our analysts, you’ll deliver against requirements as you provide fast-paced, detailed language outputs. You could be meeting with internal and external customers, carrying out analysis, or collaborating with senior linguists - you’ll add value to our operations with your expertise and broad understanding of the Arabic-speaking region. That means you’ll need a high level of Arabic knowledge, either to C1 or degree level, or be a heritage or native speaker.

In return, you’ll receive a competitive salary and great benefits, as well as plenty of dedicated support to help you build a rewarding career at the heart of national security. From an assigned buddy and comprehensive training, through to opportunities to gain professional qualifications, you’ll continuously develop your skills in our strong learning culture. Depending on the role, some overseas travel may be required; we’ll make every effort to ensure personal circumstances are taken into consideration when this happens.
