A minimum of 2 full working days’ notice, but normally more, will be provided for interviews. We endeavour to stick to these timelines, but they are subject to change around business needs.
Individuals called forward for interview, at Headquarters Army Adventurous Training Group based in Upavon, Wiltshire (to be confirmed). Questions by board members will be focused on all 4 Behaviours and relevant Qualifications and Experience listed above.
Following initial acceptance, the successful applicant will be processed by Defence Business Services, including security clearance. This process can take up to four months from the interview date depending on the individual. Following an agreed start date, Army Adventurous Training Group and Joint Services Adventurous Training Sail Training Centre will provide an effective general Civil Service and focused Joint Services Adventurous Training Sail Training Centre induction period followed by the standard Civil Service probationary period of six months.
The Civil Service embraces diversity and promotes equality of opportunity. There is a Disability Confident Scheme (DCS) for candidates with disabilities who meet the minimum selection criteria. If you need to advise us that you need additional help or reasonable adjustments for the recruitment process, please contact: ***************@mod.gov.uk.
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role and be found to require sponsorship, your application will be rejected and any provisional offer of employment withdrawn.
Feedback will only be provided if you attend an interview or assessment.
