Job Description

The application window for the Russian Language Specialists will open later this year. In the meantime, we encourage candidates to register their interest in this forthcoming opportunity.

Are you fluent in Russian? Have you always wanted to do something meaningful with it, beyond just translating and transcribing? Well, now\'s your chance to use your Russian expertise to provide intelligence insights that often impact government policy.

We\'re MI5, MI6 and GCHQ - part of the UK\'s Intelligence Services. We work together to safeguard Britain\'s people, interests and businesses from various threats at home, overseas and online, including cyber-attacks, espionage, terrorism, and organised crime. Working across our vital missions, you\'ll deliver impact at the heart of national security, all within a supportive and inclusive environment that allows everyone to thrive.

We\'ll shortly be recruiting for Russian Language Specialists.

Working at the heart of intelligence, you\'ll use your language and analytical skills to provide intelligence insights that often have a direct impact on UK government policy and decision-making.

As a Russian Language Specialist, you\'ll seek out the important information from Russian language material, making the information accessible and understandable to others. It\'s gripping work, which will draw on your judgement, people skills and linguistic and cultural expertise every step of the way.

The roles are based in London, Scarborough and Cheltenham.

While you wait for the application window to open, you can register your interest.

A registration of interest does not constitute a job application. Nor will a registration of interest affect the recruitment process.

If you decide to register your interest, you will still need to apply for the Russian Language Specialist role once the window for applications opens.
