application will be rejected, and any provisional offer of employment
withdrawn.

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 mitigation scan 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,

considered for this post if you have been dismissed from a role for such

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

the Ministry of Defence should be aware of this policy and that it is already in
place at a number of Defence Establishments.
