Annual leave

At GCHQ, you will have a basic holiday entitlement (we call it 'leave') of 22 days per year, rising to 25 days after one year's service.

In addition, there are 10 and a half days for public and privilege holidays. Everyone qualifies for 30 days leave after 10 years' service, and you will enjoy the flexibility to carry over or anticipate annual leave from one leave year to another.
