London, Greater London, United Kingdom MI5 Full time
About the Role

Your passion for languages can drive a career in intelligence. MI5, MI6, and GCHQ seek Mandarin linguists for a role that involves more than translation and transcription. With in-depth knowledge of Chinese culture, ideology, and politics, you'll help safeguard the UK.

As a Language Specialist, you'll identify nuances in spoken and written materials, contextualise the information, and make it accessible to others. You'll work in a multi-disciplinary team, directing projects and driving forward investigations. Your linguistic and cultural expertise will be invaluable in this role.

About You
You'll need active and passive language skills, excellent written English, and a good knowledge of Chinese culture, history, religion, and politics. A C1 level of Mandarin language proficiency is required. You may have gained this through growing up in a multi-lingual family, language training in the military, or academic studies.

  • You'll be confident in reading, writing, speaking, and listening to Mandarin.
  • You'll have a strong motivation and commitment to work for the UK intelligence agencies.

Training and Development
You'll receive an induction, be assigned a buddy, and access language and non-language training opportunities. You'll be part of a community of linguists working on critical work.
