That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal. What you’ll be doing You will adopt a respectful and pragmatic approach, delivering consistent, high-quality vetting support aligned with the standards set by the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR), the Cabinet Office, and EDF Energy (Nuclear Operations). A key part of your role will involve managing vetting records for both EDF staff and contractors, ensuring efficient and effective delivery of the Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) service. You will be responsible for verifying documentation, approving BPSS applications, tracking clearances, and offering support to Site Heads of Security and line managers, while also assisting individuals with entering security data into company HR systems. In addition, you will oversee various aspects of National Security Vetting (NSV), including initiating, maintaining, and reviewing clearances, handling clearance transfers, managing leaver processes, and addressing lapsed clearances. Your role requires a strong focus on detail and compliance to maintain accurate and up-to-date vetting records. You will be expected to provide timely and informed guidance on vetting procedures and regularly engage with stakeholders across the organisation via email, Teams, and phone. Collaboration is essential in this role, as you will work closely with EDF site vetting and security teams, corporate partners, and suppliers to support clearance applications backed by business needs. Occasional travel to nuclear sites will help you build strong relationships and ensure consistent implementation of vetting processes. You will also contribute to the creation and upkeep of documentation that supports the vetting and security culture across the Nuclear Estate, promoting clear, consistent communication with stakeholders and suppliers. Who you are You will bring a collaborative mindset and a proactive approach to working with multiple stakeholders, helping to drive forward security clearance and onboarding projects across the organisation. A solid understanding of vetting processes and hands-on experience in onboarding activities within a fast-paced, regulated environment are essential for success in this role. Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills will enable you to work effectively across departments, influence key decisions, and provide clear, practical guidance.

We are looking for someone who thrives in a dynamic, team-oriented environment, with a proven ability to deliver solutions and maintain strong working relationships.

Familiarity with HR or vetting systems is advantageous and will support your ability to navigate the complexities of security and compliance requirements.
