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withdrawn.
Please note the Civil Service Nationality Rules will also need to be met. The
Civil Service Nationality Rules operate independently and in addition to
the UK Immigration Rules and must be met before an individual can take
up employment in the Civil Service. The Civil Service Nationality Rules do
not apply to UK, Irish and Commonwealth nationals, or to those who are
eligible to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme but do apply to all other
nationalities- including EU/EEA nationals who are ineligible to apply to the
EU Settlement Scheme.

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.
The Ministry of Defence is committed to providing a safe and healthy
working environment for its staff which includes educating them on the

second-hand smoke and supporting those who want to give up smoking.
Under the Smoke-Free Working Environment policy, Smoking and the use
of all tobacco products (including combustible and chewing tobacco
products) will not be permitted anywhere in the Defence working
environment. The policy is Whole Force and includes all Defence
personnel, contractors, visitors and other non-MOD personnel. All
applicants seeking, considering, or accepting employment with the
Ministry of Defence should be aware of this policy and that it is already in
place at a number of Defence Establishments.
