GCHQ is a world-leading intelligence, cyber and security agency with a mission to keep the UK safe.
Our brilliant people use cutting-edge technology, technical ingenuity and wide-ranging partnerships to identify, analyse and disrupt threats to the UK.
Our priorities are set by the UK’s National Security Strategy and the decisions of the National Security Council, chaired by the Prime Minister, as well as the Joint Intelligence Committee.
We always strive to stay one step ahead of those who are looking to cause our nation and its people harm. Our focus changes as the global threats evolve. We are part of the national response to the Covid-19 pandemic; protecting the NHS, supporting the Government’s development of data science and improving our nation’s economic resilience. We are also tackling a shifting serious crime threat that is looking to exploit the crisis. Our role in keeping the UK digital homeland safe and prosperous is more crucial than ever.
Our culture is all about giving you the right support, the right skills and the right working environment. While we’re all about teamwork, we also give you the freedom to achieve your own goals and to be yourself.
At GCHQ we have a strong community spirit, supporting each other so that everyone has the opportunity to thrive and play their part in keeping the nation safe. We believe that with the right mix of minds, anything is possible. It’s just one of the reasons why we strive to be as inclusive as possible. It means that no matter who you are, GCHQ is an incredibly open, supportive and welcoming place to work.
We're continually trying new initiatives in our recruitment and talent management to ensure we get the best mix of people into and throughout our organisation.
