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any provisional offer of employment withdrawn.

If you need to advise us that you need
additional help or 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.
