About the job

Job summary

As Executive Support, youll play a central role in enabling some of the organisations most senior leaders to operate effectively. Acting as their dedicated first point of contact, youll manage diaries, administration and travel, coordinating competing priorities and ensuring they are well prepared for their commitments.

Preparing briefings and essential documentation for a wide range of engagements, youll help leaders stay informed and ready for key appointments. The role also includes overseeing UK and overseas travel arrangements, with close attention to itineraries, policy and security requirements. Offering significant variety, responsibilities include organising meetings, managing inboxes, drafting agendas and ensuring the smooth running of day-to-day activity.

Job description

Working closely with the wider Executive Support team, youll help deliver a professional and consistent service across the organisation. Youll source key information and materials, contribute to improving ways of working, and support the implementation of new processes where appropriate. Throughout, success will depend on your professionalism, accuracy and reliability.

Please note that some travel within the UK will be required, likely to Manchester or London once or twice a month. Travel expenses will be covered, and any additional approved working hours can be recorded and taken back as accrued time off at a mutually agreed time.

Person specification

To apply, youll hold English language and mathematics GCSEs at Grade C/4 or above, or an equivalent qualification. Youll also have experience of working in a similar role, such as executive or administrative support, where youve developed effective customer service skills.

Importantly, a can-do, proactive attitude is essential, along with the ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment. Being organised, collaborative and able to delegate where needed, the role requires flexibility to changing demands and a quick response to last-minute requests. Building relationships with others to develop effective support networks is also a key part of the role.

Benefits

Youll receive a starting salary of £35,134, plus concessionary payment of £2,758, and other benefits including:

25 days annual leave, automatically rising to 30 days after 5 years' service, plus an additional 10.5 days of public and privilege holidays
opportunities to be recognised through our employee performance scheme
an interest-free season ticket loan
an excellent pension scheme
a cycle-to-work scheme
facilities such as a gym, restaurant and on-site coffee bars (at some locations)
paid parental and adoption leave.

When you join, youll be introduced to the team and have the opportunity to visit key sites. Youll also take part in GCHQs induction programme, alongside an Executive Support-specific induction covering the tools we use, our ways of working, and best practice for delivering high-quality executive support. To help you settle into life at GCHQ, youll be assigned two buddies: one within your team and another from the wider Executive Support community. Your buddies will be on hand to help with role-related queries, as well as any general questions you may have.

Youll complete practical, role-based training, and well help you access courses to support your career development. This could include concise minute-taking training, to enhance your Microsoft Office skills, or learning opportunities to deepen your understanding of government departments.

Things you need to know

Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence can be a useful tool to support your application, however, all examples and statements provided must be truthful, factually accurate and taken directly from your own experience.

Please see our candidate guidance for more information on appropriate and inappropriate use.

Selection process details

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: people 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, people from ethnic minority backgrounds, individuals with disabilities, and those from low socio-economic backgrounds.

Find out more about our culture, working environment and diversity on our website.

There is a wide range of additional support available throughout the recruitment process to help you do your best. Please see our website for information on the reasonable adjustments we can offer.
