This post does not offer any assistance with relocation allowances.

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role and be found to require sponsorship, your application will be rejected and any provisional offer of employment withdrawn.
