Our Process

We like to keep things nice We like to keep things nice and simple! Therefore, we have a three stage interview process. The first is a chat with our recruiter, Sarah, lasting up to 30 minutes and the next is a 1 hour Teams call with two of the team. Finally, you'll get to meet two of our Founders for an informal chat. It's as easy as that! We believe organic conversation is the best way to find out about someone. After all, recruitment is a two-way process!

Due to the nature of the role, you must be a UK Citizen and have lived in the UK for the last 10 years. This role requires you to already hold a high-level security clearance.

Customer sites are based in Gloucestershire, Manchester and London - you must be willing to travel to one of these sites.
