At application you will be asked to provide a personal statement of no more than 250 words evidencing your suitability for the role. You will also be assessed against the Managing a Quality Service behaviour. Where a large number of applications are received, an initial sift will be conducted based on the evidence you provide in support of the Managing a Quality Service behaviour. Your Personal Statement will only be reviewed if you are successful at this initial sift. At interview you will be assessed against the following behaviours - Communicating and Influencing, Delivering at Pace, Managing a Quality Service, Working Together. Application sifting will be scheduled to take place within 7 days of the application closing date. Interview dates are to be confirmed but these will be held in person in Nottingham. We endeavour to keep to these time frames, but these are subject to change around business needs.
Artificial Intelligence can be a useful tool to support your application, however, all examples and statements provided must be truthful, factually accurate and taken directly from your own experience. Where plagiarism has been identified (presenting the ideas and experiences of others, or generated by artificial intelligence, as your own) applications may be withdrawn and internal candidates may be subject to disciplinary action. Please see our candidate guidance for more information on appropriate and inappropriate use.
Security and Equality
The Civil Service embraces diversity and promotes equality of opportunity. There is a Disability Confident Scheme (DCS) for candidates with disabilities who meet the minimum selection criteria. If you need to advise us that you need additional help or reasonable adjustments for the recruitment process, please contact: DBSCivPers-Resourcingteam3@mod.gov.uk.
As a result of changes to the UK immigration rules, the Ministry of Defence will only offer sponsorship for a skilled worker visa under the points based system where a role is 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role and be found to require sponsorship, your application will be rejected and any provisional offer of employment withdrawn.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 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.
Security and Vetting
Successful candidates must undergo a criminal record check. Security checks and baseline personnel checks apply. See our vetting charter and baseline checks.
Nationality
This job is broadly open to UK nationals, nationals of the Republic of Ireland, Commonwealth nationals with right to work in the UK, and certain EU/EEA/Swiss nationals and family members with settled or pre-settled status, plus other listed categories. See information on nationality requirements.
Working for the Civil Service
The Civil Service Code sets out standards of behaviour. We recruit by merit on the basis of fair and open competition. The Civil Service embraces diversity and offers a Disability Confident Scheme. Redeployment interviews are available for civil servants at risk of redundancy.
