Full Job Posting

Programme overview

The five-and-a-half-year Intelligence and Data Analyst Development Programme prepares recruits to become fully trained Intelligence and Data Analysts.

Analysts turn complex, incomplete information into insight that informs investigative decisions and supports UK national security.

The pathway usually includes three postings, though some may be extended into two longer placements; postings are assigned according to business need.

Location and working arrangements

  • The role is based in London, with time split between locations in Central and West London.
  • The role is office-based; remote, hybrid and home working are not possible.
  • Flexible hours and compressed hours may be available through most of the programme, subject to business need.
  • The initial four-month training period follows fixed full-time hours, Monday to Friday, for 36 hours per week.

Training and pathway

  • The first stage is four months of intensive analytical training, including classroom learning, hands-on practice and collaborative exercises.
  • The first analytical posting lasts two to two-and-a-half years and involves refining investigative requirements, analysing complex datasets and producing intelligence products.
  • Later postings may be in investigation-focused analysis teams or non-delivery areas such as training and tradecraft development.

Capabilities developed

  • The programme develops analytical tradecraft, judgement, technical capability and collaboration skills.
  • Training covers multiple data types, structured analytical techniques, advanced tools and open-ended problem solving.
  • The role involves using data and tools to uncover patterns and connect seemingly unrelated activity.

Hours and leave

  • The working week is 36 hours.
  • Annual leave cannot be taken during the initial four-month training period.

Salary

  • Salary is £40,428, rising to £43,705 after one year.

Requirements

  • Commit to the five-and-a-half-year structured development pathway.
  • Develop sound judgement and analytical tradecraft for investigative work.
  • Collaborate effectively in a fast-moving investigative environment.
