Intelligence Analyst (Voice)
Listen to, monitor, collect and analyse radio messages broadcast throughout the world, specialising in foreign voice communications.
Your work
Overview
Intelligence Analysts (Voice) play a vital role protecting the security of the UK, our national and international interests and our allies, by collecting, analysing and disseminating intelligence from a variety of sources. As an Intelligence Analyst with the Voice specialization, you’ll monitor, collect and analyse foreign communications, providing valuable information about actual or potential enemies and their strengths, weaknesses, movements and locations.
Details of day-to-day tasks are classified; however, the job involves intercepting foreign voice transmissions using state-of-the-art receiving and recording systems. You’ll learn one or more foreign languages to a high degree of proficiency and will spend much of your RAF life honing your existing linguistic skills and learning new ones.
Like most people in the RAF, you’ll probably move jobs every few years; each job is known as a tour of duty. Your tours will be on RAF bases or other military locations such as Defence School of Intelligence (DSI) at Chicksands in Bedfordshire, the training school for military intelligence. For much of your career you are likely to find yourself working alongside your counterparts in the Royal Navy or Army, either at a fixed location or as part of a mobile unit. Within your first few years, you’ll probably be detached overseas for anything from a few days to a few months.
Your first tour
For your first operational tour, you’ll probably be posted to a UK base working in a team with other Intelligence Analysts (Voice), where you’ll monitor, collect and analyse voice radio transmissions. You will initially work under supervision until you gain experience. You may be required to work in shifts, operating state-of-the-art equipment to carry out the mission to monitor hostile activity. Dependent on future operational requirements, some recruits may spend their first tour as part of an Army Electronic Warfare Regiment where they will get the opportunity to work in both mobile and static roles; they can expect to be deployed as part of the Regiment in support of the UK’s operations and exercises. Whichever location newly qualified personnel are posted to, they will find themselves working alongside colleagues from the other Services, since the Int An (V) trade is one of those that is at the forefront of the Joint Services environment.
Your training
Recruit training
Your career will start with up to 11 weeks of recruit training at RAF Halton in Buckinghamshire. The course is designed to help you adjust to a military environment. As well as fitness and military training, you’ll also learn about the RAF lifestyle.
Specialist training
The next step is a specialist training course at the DSI which lasts up to 2 years, depending on the language you’re studying. You’ll learn a modern language (currently Pashto, Arabic or Farsi) up to interpreter standard. You will also undertake elements of the Fundamentals of Intelligence course. These elements will give you an understanding of the sources of intelligence, the techniques for processing it and basic report writing. The course will also cover the roles of UK intelligence organisations, and the RAF intelligence structure, as well as introducing you to the worlds of electronic warfare and electronic intelligence. You will also learn about IT applications and develop keyboard skills.
Ongoing development
As your career progresses, we’ll continue to train you in new skills. As well as management and leadership training, there will be opportunities to learn other languages or to reach a higher level of proficiency in your core foreign language. You could even choose to take a university-level qualification in modern languages. You may also have the opportunity to gain technical or managerial NVQs up to Level 4.
Your future
Prospects
You’ll initially join the RAF for a period of nine years. During specialist training, you may be promoted to the rank of Senior Aircraftman/woman. Further promotion to the rank of Corporal and beyond is by competitive selection.
Transferable skills
The qualifications you can earn are as valuable in the civilian world as they are in the RAF – which means that whenever you decide to leave the Service, you’ll be well placed to find a job in a number of fields including telecommunications, languages including interpreting, analytical work, information technology and the Civil Service.
Entry qualifications
Age limits
17½-36
Academic qualifications
You need at least four GCSEs/SCEs at Grade C/3 or equivalent including English language and maths. Any qualification or previous experience of a modern language or IT would be an advantage.
Entry tests
You must pass a test at the AFCO. There is also a specialist test for Intelligence Analysts (Voice), which takes place at the DSI. This specialist test lasts 2 days, during which you’ll be interviewed to see if you have any knowledge of languages. You will also be advised on what your future employment might involve. In addition, you’ll undergo a range of aptitude tests designed to assess your understanding of English grammar and your potential to learn a foreign language. You’ll also have to be vetted by the security services.
Nationality
You must have been a British citizen since birth.
Residency
You must have been a United Kingdom resident since birth.
Equal opportunities
The RAF values every individual’s unique contribution, irrespective of race, ethnic origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation or social background.
