About the job

Job summary

The Fair Work Agency (FWA) launched in April 2026 with a clear and ambitious mission: to make work fairer for everyone. We bring together key powers to protect workers, support responsible businesses, and take decisive action against exploitation. Today, we regulate employment agencies, license gangmasters in the agricultural and horticultural sectors, tackle serious labour abuse and modern slavery, and enable enforcement of the National Minimum Wage.

But this is just the start.

With new powers under the Employment Rights Act 2025, we are expanding our role even further. We are building the capability to ensure workers receive what they are entitled to, from holiday pay to statutory sick pay, and strengthening the system so that rights are not just set out in law but actively upheld in practice.

Our approach is bold and practical:

We empower workers, ensuring they understand their rights and can easily access support and raise concerns
We make it easier for businesses to comply, simplifying processes and helping responsible employers do the right thing
We take firm action against those who exploit workers and undercut fair competition

This is a unique opportunity to join an organisation at the very beginning of its journey. You will help shape how we operate, influence our culture, and play a direct role in improving outcomes for millions of workers and employers across the UK.

We are looking for people who are curious, collaborative and driven by making a real difference, people who want to build something that matters.

Job description

As an Intelligence Analyst, you will work in support of the FWA intelligence function within the Strategy and Impact Directorate by developing a wide variety of analytical products for internal and external dissemination. You will make full use of available sources and subject matter expertise while working within legal and procedural requirements. Your research, identification, analysis and reporting on current, new and emerging trends in labour exploitation and modern slavery across the UK labour market will directly contribute to the FWAs strategic outputs.

Analytical products produced will inform the strategic and tactical decision making of the FWA and other relevant partner agencies, including wider law enforcement partners. You will need to communicate effectively with customers, manage your workload independently, and negotiate product requirements and deadlines with confidence. The role will support both regulatory and enforcement functions of the FWA.

Key responsibilities:

Undertake and produce timely analysis and research, using a range of methodologies, to report on the current intelligence picture and future trends with regards to all aspects of FWA compliance and enforcement activity.
With a focus on labour exploitation, including modern slavery, you will develop inferences, generate conclusions and produce recommendations to the Intelligence Analysis Manager.
Prepare and present strategic analytical / intelligence products, including the Threat Assessment. Such products will inform operational managers and help inform strategic decision making and future business planning of the agency.
Develop robust methods for FWA strategic threat assessments, utilising relevant analytical techniques and methodologies.
Record, research, assess, analyse and evaluate all relevant intelligence according to relevancy, reliability, accuracy and timeliness. This is in accordance with national standards for the recording, handling and dissemination of intelligence material.
Conduct research and collate information and data from a variety of sources, utilising all available information to support the work of the FWA.
Present findings clearly and concisely, both written and verbally, to a variety of audiences whilst making recommendations as appropriate.
Maintain and develop professional relationships with analysts in law enforcement and other partner agencies to ensure cross cutting themes are identified.
Possess and maintain a good level of competence in the use of relevant computer software packages to collect, collate, analyse and present relevant data.
Regular engagement with the Operational Intelligence Analysts and all teams within the Operations Directorate to ensure tactical analysis is incorporated into the strategic area.
