In addition, you must be prepared to work flexibly and work from different locations to suit the needs of the unit.
The successful candidates will be subject to personal and financial vetting checks prior to appointment.
Applicants should be aware that it is not always possible to carry out adequate vetting checks on persons who have not been resident within the UK for the last five years. Therefore, where this applies, applicants may be refused on the grounds that it was not possible to vet them to the appropriate standard.
