The Army has an opening for an Intelligence Researcher in Manchester, with a salary of £27,282 a year. It is a full-time permanent job and you do not need previous experience for it. The role is mainly about finding information, understanding what that information means and passing it on to the people who need it. You will learn about a country or a particular threat and may work with infantry teams to collect information about what is happening in an area. You will also write reports and give briefings to officers. Some of the work can be done in military headquarters, while other parts may take place in government departments. Training is provided, so you can learn the job as you move through the role.
The starting pay during training is £27,282 a year. Once you complete Phase 2 training and join your unit as a Lance Corporal, the salary goes up to £35,310. There are also several benefits with the job, including 38 days of annual leave, free medical and dental care, cheaper living costs and access to gym and sports facilities. There are a few basic requirements before you can apply. You need to be between 16 years 6 months and 35 years 6 months, pass a basic fitness test and have the required GCSEs, including English Language and four other subjects. You also need Numeracy Level 2. If you are looking for your first job in military intelligence and are willing to complete the required training, this is an opportunity worth considering.
