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employment withdrawn.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 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 bscivperssgdmsresourcingteam@mod.gov.uk.
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.
