Become part of the team

The PA Security Vetting Team is looking to find a new administrator to have responsibility for our Melbourn operations. You will be part of a close and efficient team helping to support a vast array of projects, and working across the business to support vetting, compliance, and IT security activities. This role will have a specific focus on working with a variety of external government agencies, clients and third-party organisations.

• A highly motivated and customer focused individual
• Organised and able to meet very tight deadlines & respond quickly to critical situations
• Excellent communication skills, and be able to deal with individuals at all levels
• An ability to work independently
• Good reporting skills with experience of working with Microsoft products (Word, Excel)

Please be aware that some of our UK roles at PA Consulting require a UK security clearance.

All PA people are required to undergo background checks and to achieve the Baseline Personnel Security Standard however, some UK roles also require higher levels of National Security Vetting, where applicants must have at least 5 years of continuous residency in the UK.

We therefore ask that you only apply if you meet the residency requirements (i.e. you are a British citizen or have been resident in the UK for the past 5 years), as this is the prerequisite for a security clearance. If you're unsure about your eligibility, we encourage you to review the UK Government’s guidance on security vetting before applying.
