This vacancy is using Success Profiles , and will assess your Experience and Technical skills.

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[1]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role and be found to require sponsorship, your application will be rejected, and any provisional offer of employment withdrawn.
