We rely on our IT teams to keep our infrastructure safe, secure, and mission ready. And now we’re looking for people with a passion for technology to join us. With plenty of support and encouragement, you’ll undertake a rewarding 18-month learning journey on a pathway designed to give you all the skills and experience necessary to develop an exciting career at GCHQ. Enjoy a combination of classroom, virtual, and on-the-job learning while being exposed to a variety of areas – from Automation, Cloud, and Applications to Data Transfer, Access Management, and Cyber Security. You’ll identify innovative approaches that shape our work and collaborate with others to tackle both specific challenges and broader problems. And you’ll do it alongside a cohort who are just as enthusiastic about tech as you are, using one-of-a-kind technology for a mission that’s completely unique. After completing your training, you’ll integrate into a team of talented experts and support GCHQ and our intelligence partners. The work involves varied projects to ensure our IT infrastructure remains fit for purpose in a constantly evolving tech landscape. With a comprehensive business and departmental induction, you’ll be welcomed into an inclusive workplace where development means everything. You’ll have the opportunity to explore areas that interest you and access a range of funded resources tailored to your needs. This could even include a chance to earn industry-recognised qualifications such as ISC ⊃2; CISSO, AWS Solution Architect, or CISCO CCNA. A Trainee Scheme Lead will provide guidance throughout the 18-month learning pathway, and mentors will support your professional and personal development along the way. Plus, you’ll receive a range of great benefits, including 25 days’ annual leave, an interest-free season ticket loan, paid parental and adoption leave, and access to onsite facilities, including a gym and restaurant. What’s more, you’ll be welcome to join our sports, social, and interest clubs, as well as affinity networks championing equity, diversity, and inclusion across our organisations. From day one, you’ll be empowered to build a career you’re passionate about and make an impact on a national scale.
