Project Control Officer

Locations: Cheltenham or Samlesbury

Salary: £33,750, plus a Concessionary Payment of £2,658. 

Flexible working hours 

We support a variety of flexible working arrangements, including part-time hours, compressed working patterns, and flexible start and finish times. All roles involve working on site. However, for some positions there may be opportunities to work from home for part of the time, subject to business needs.

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, analyse, and disrupt threats. Working with our intelligence partners MI5 and MI6, we protect the UK from terrorism, cyberattacks, and espionage. At GCHQ, you’ll do varied and fascinating work in a supportive and inclusive environment that puts the emphasis on teamwork.

As a Project Control Officer, you’ll bring structure to the delivery of transformational projects, with a particular focus on finance, risk, and planning. With your experience working with budgets and financial reports, you’ll oversee planning and resource management, ensuring teams have the necessary spend to mitigate any issues. Whether you’re preparing data for meetings, conducting financial risk workshops, or managing monthly financial governance, you’ll provide reliable advice and updates throughout the lifecycle of unique and influential projects.

Collaborative and adaptable, you’ll be able to translate financial information to a range of audiences. You’ll be working with project managers, customers, stakeholders and visitors, and be comfortable presenting risk, trends and other data with clarity– especially to non-financial audiences. Through analysis and insights, you’ll identify ways to maximise our processes and highlight opportunities for improvement. As your experience grows, you’ll have the flexibility to progress your career within the Service Management Team, Project Management Team, or other areas of GCHQ.

Other than a minimum Level 2 (GCSE or equivalent) qualification in English Language and Maths at Grade 4/C or above, you don’t need any specific qualifications for this role, but a genuine interest in working with financial data and proficiency with numbers is essential. Organised and able to prioritise tasks, you’ll meet key deadlines - particularly around the end of the financial year. You’ll be able to manage multiple projects simultaneously led by different managers, and have demonstrable experience using MS Office. And just like you’ll find ways to improve our ways of working, you’ll also discover opportunities to further your own career.

As well as a comprehensive induction when you join, you’ll receive tailored training, coaching and mentoring–plus the support to pursue career pathways across a range of specialisms. Our exceptional, friendly community of colleagues is available to share their knowledge with you. Whether you’re looking to deepen your expertise in a specific area or explore new specialisms, we’ll provide the tools and opportunities to help you succeed.

Ours is an open, inclusive workplace where you’ll find a range of sport, interest, and social clubs as well as a number of growing affinity groups–including ethnic minority and gender equality networks, wellbeing, mental health, neurodiversity and disability groups, LGBTQ+ support groups, and faith/no faith communities. We also offer full-time and part-time working in this role, to help support your work-life balance. You can read more about our flexible working options, benefits, and life at GCHQ on our website.
