Further information

Please note that this role requires SC clearance, which would normally need 5 years' UK residency in the past 5 years.

This may mean your security clearance (and therefore your appointment) will take longer or, in some cases, not be possible.

Please note terms and conditions are attached. Please take time to read the document to determine how these may affect you.

A reserve list will be held for a period of 12 months, from which further appointments can be made.
