  • Be willing and able to undergo DBS, BPSS and/or other client-led security vetting or clearance checks, which may be required at any point depending on project, site or client requirements

  • Be willing to disclose, and openly discuss at interview, any previous convictions, cautions or other matters that could affect the outcome of a vetting or clearance application

  • Please note that failure to meet, or subsequently maintain, the security vetting requirements of a project may affect your ability to be deployed to certain sites or contracts.
