of your vaccination is not a proof of your immunity, but your serology levels

offer of employment being withdrawn.

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employment withdrawn.
This vacancy is part of the A Great Place to Work for
Veterans initiative. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/making-the-civil-service-a-great-place-to-work-for-veterans

reasonable adjustments for the recruitment process, please contact dbscivpers-sgdmsresourcing@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. 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.
