It would be advantageous if you currently hold it, but if not, the successful applicant must obtain, achieve, and maintain SC Clearance prior to commencing employment. Please visit the UKSV website for further guidance. To be eligible for full SC you generally need to have resided in the UK for the last five years. In some circumstances a minimum of three years residence in the UK over the last five years may be accepted, with additional overseas checks. Candidates will be asked to provide evidence of identity, eligibility to work in the UK and employment/education history for up to three years.
