Descrição da oferta de emprego

Due to the security status of this prison a Counter-Terrorism Check (CTC vetting) will need to be undertaken. Skilled Worker visa sponsorship may be available for this role, subject to eligibility and in line with the UK Immigration Rules in force at the time of application. However, due to current immigration requirements and recruitment timescales, candidates who require Skilled Worker visa sponsorship are unlikely to be sponsored if applying to this campaign.

Candidates who achieve a higher pre-determined VBA score may be invited to the OAC sooner.

This will cover an eyesight test, hearing test and basic health screening, including a blood pressure check.
