As a result of

the changes to the UK immigration rules which came into effect on 1

January 2021, the Ministry of Defence will only offer sponsorship for a skilled

worker visa under the points-based system, where a role has

been deemed to be business critical. This role does not meet

that category, and we will not sponsor a visa. It is therefore NOT

open to applications from those who will require sponsorship under

the points-based system.

Should you apply

for this role and be found to require sponsorship, your application will

be rejected, and any provisional offer of employment withdrawn.

The Civil Service embraces diversity and promotes equal opportunities. As such, we run a Disability Confident Scheme (DCS) for candidates with disabilities who meet the minimum selection criteria.

There may be occasions where it is not practicable or appropriate to interview all DCS candidates that meet the minimum criteria for the job. For example, in certain recruitment situations such as a high volume of applications, seasonal demand, or peak periods, the employer may wish to limit the overall number of interviews offered to both DCS and non-DCS applicants.

The Ministry of

Defence requires all candidates who are successful at interview to declare any

outside interests. These declarations will be discussed with successful

candidates following the interview process and before a formal offer of

employment is made, as some outside interests may not be compatible with MOD

civilian roles. This will not, in the majority of cases, prevent employment in

MOD, but it is a measure that must be taken to ensure that appropriate

mitigations can be put in place to manage any potential, perceived or actual

conflicts of interest from the first day of employment.

The Ministry of

Defence adopts a zero-tolerance approach to unacceptable behaviours,

which includes bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, discrimination, and

victimisation. You will not be eligible and will not be considered for this

post if you have been dismissed from a role for such unacceptable behaviours

within the last five years. This will also apply if you resign or otherwise

leave a role but, because of an adverse decision, would have been dismissed for

gross misconduct had you continued in that employment. Pre-employment checks

will be carried out.
