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withdrawn.
The role currently being advertised has been assessed as business critical.
Applications are accepted from candidates who meet the eligibility criteria
listed in the advert, including from those who will require sponsorship to
enable them to work legally in the UK.

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 benefits of not
smoking, protecting them from the harmful effects of 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.
