About Us
At GCHQ, we unlock the complex world of data and communications to keep the UK and its citizens safe, both in the real world and online.
Working closely with our British Intelligence partners in MI5 and MI6, we protect the UK from threats including serious organised crime, terrorism, and cyber-attacks.
A role in GCHQ means you'll have varied and fascinating work in a supportive and encouraging environment that puts the emphasis on teamwork.
The Role
As a Security Officer, you will work within an inclusive, friendly, and highly motivated team, where you'll be a reassuring presence to all.
Your duties will include everything from monitoring and operating our security systems, to verifying the identities of people entering our sites.
When you're out and about, you'll see that our search and patrolling protocols are followed strictly at all times.
From searching vehicles to checking CCTV, you'll keep accurate logs of activity - and be alert to anything unusual.
To enable our people to do vitally important work in a safe and secure environment, we use various security measures.
Security Officers play a key part in this work, helping to keep our sites safe.
Although you will be working as part of a team of security officers on site, you may occasionally work with colleagues from the broader Security teams here at GCHQ and possibly MI5 and MI6 too.
You may also need to travel to other sites for support or training, but this will be rare and optional.
Increasingly, we are working with our partners within British Intelligence to create a seamless security response.
This could lead to exciting opportunities in the future for you as a Security Officer.
About You
Don't have previous security experience? Don't worry, it's not essential.
We'll bring you up to speed with our expert training.
However, you will need basic IT skills, including the ability to use e-mail, the internet and Microsoft Word.
And we're also looking for attention to detail, and good customer service and communication skills as you'll be interacting with a range of people.
We won't be testing your fitness, but be aware that you may have to lift and move equipment during security patrols and search and screen activities.
You may also be monitoring CCTV and producing reports, so you should be ready to work alone for long periods if necessary.
At the same time, you'll be supported by, and thrive in a team, be observant, aware of your surroundings and remain and inspire calm under pressure.
If there's a fast-paced situation, such as an emergency response or security incident, you'll need to analyse it quickly and make informed decisions.
Please note that a UK driver's license is required for the role based at Scarborough.
Training and Development
At GCHQ, continuous learning and development is at the heart of all that we do.
To get you started, there'll be a three-day induction to help guide you on the right path.
We'll also give you a mentor, buddy, or peer support to help you settle in.
Plus, you'll get the support to gain professional security qualifications, equivalent to the Security Industry Association (SIA) standards in areas such as CCTV and Emergency First Aid at Work.
Rewards and Benefits
You'll receive a starting salary of £28,656 or £33,556 depending on the package you take, plus other benefits including:
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.
