An additional Skills Payment is available once your skills level is confirmed, £3,822 for Level 1 or £8,190 for Level 2. Flexible working: We offer a range of working patterns, including full-time, part-time, and compressed hours, with flexible start and finish times to support a healthy work-life balance. While most of our work is carried out on-site due to its sensitive nature, occasional home working may be possible depending on business needs. Find out more about flexible working on our website . 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, analy0se 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. As an Associate Solutions Architect, you'll join a specialist team delivering technology solutions that underpin some of the UK's most critical national security work. Our work is unique and often cutting-edge, giving you the opportunity to develop deep expertise in an environment unlike any other.
