For security reasons this role is open to sole UK nationals only.

A 'sole UK national' refers to an individual who holds citizenship solely in the UK, without dual citizenship or nationality from another country.

We're unable to offer visa sponsorship.

This role requires you to have lived in the UK for the last 5 years and obtain Security Check (SC) security clearance.

Clearance must be obtained without any caveats that prevent you from carrying out the role you have been recruited for.

If it isn't obtained, or is obtained but with caveats that prevent you from carrying out the role, any conditional offer made to you will be withdrawn.

Obtaining SC security clearance can be a lengthy process, and we reserve the right to withdraw any conditional offer made if the necessary security clearance isn't obtained within 12 months.
