At interview – the final stage, where you meet the hiring manager and at least one other civil servant but there could be a panel of 3 depending on availability. The candidates will asked a range of questions that could include specific occasions when you have demonstrated a certain skill or behaviour. Before you attend an interview, look carefully at the job description and think about examples you can give of times when you have previously demonstrated the behaviours outlined. You may also wish to consider how you would handle similar situations in the future. You may also be asked questions about what interests you and what you enjoy doing.

As a result of the changes to the UK immigration rules which came in to 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.

Should you apply for this role and be found to require sponsorship, your application will be rejected and any provisional offer of employment withdrawn.

Feedback will only be provided if you attend an interview or assessment.
