Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom GCHQ Full time

About the Role

GCHQ is an intelligence, cyber and security agency with a mission to keep the UK safe. We use cutting-edge technology, ingenuity and partnerships to identify, analyse and disrupt threats. Working with our intelligence partners MI5 and MI6, we protect the UK from terrorism, cyber-attacks and espionage. At GCHQ, you'll do varied and fascinating work in a supportive and inclusive environment that puts the emphasis on teamwork.

The Job Description

As a Senior HR Business Partner at GCHQ, you'll work in partnership with two Director Generals on the skills, health, planning, and leadership of their workforce. It's a critical and rewarding role where you'll be at the centre of significant decisions, working to mitigate the greatest workforce challenges our organisation has ever faced and enabling our future success.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support effective workforce planning and analysis
  • Lead and guide Director Generals on strategic workforce and people matters
  • Advise on workforce planning, design and structure, workforce health, leadership, and workforce and people change
  • Assist the area to work effectively with a shared service model

About You

This is a principal HR position, so qualifications (MCIPD or Level 7) and a minimum of five years' experience are essential to undertake the role. This experience could be from a strategic HR policy setting, business partnering, or leading HR services. You'll also confidently lean on your skills in planning, negotiation and diplomacy.

What We Offer

  • A starting salary of £80,125
  • 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
  • Interest-free season ticket loan (travel and parking)
  • Excellent pension scheme
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • Facilities such as a gym, restaurant, and on-site coffee bars (at some locations)
  • Paid parental and adoption leave

Equal Opportunities

At GCHQ, diversity and inclusion are critical to our mission. To protect the UK, we need a truly diverse workforce that reflects the society we serve. This includes diversity in every sense of the word: those with different backgrounds, ages, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, ways of thinking and those with disabilities or neurodivergent conditions. We therefore welcome and encourage applications from everyone, including those from groups that are under-represented in our workforce such as women, those from an ethnic minority background, people with disabilities and those from low socio-economic backgrounds.
