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

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role and be found to require sponsorship, your application will be rejected, and any provisional offer of employment withdrawn.
