Further Information
All employees joining the Ministry of Defence who are new to the Civil Service will be subject to a 6-month probation period (unless otherwise advised) effective from the employment start date.
Successful candidates must meet security requirements before they can be appointed. The level of security needed is a security check.
If found successful for this position, you will be required to provide evidence of your immunity to Hepatitis B. Please note that evidence of vaccination is not proof of immunity, but your serology levels will be required. Failure to provide sufficient evidence may result in the offer of employment being withdrawn.
Please be advised that the Department is conducting a review of all pay-related allowances which could impact on those allowances the post currently attracts.
The post does NOT offer relocation expenses. Non-Standard move applicants will be eligible for the full package, subject to eligibility.
As a result of changes to UK immigration rules, the Ministry of Defence will only offer sponsorship for a skilled worker visa under the points-based system where the role is deemed 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 require sponsorship.
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role and be found to require sponsorship, your application will be rejected, and any provisional offer of employment withdrawn.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 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. You will not be eligible and will not be considered for this post if you have been dismissed for such behaviours within the last five years. Pre-employment checks will be carried out.
