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. Preemployment 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.
