  • British Citizenship is essential (must meet criteria for secure site access)
  • Eligible for SC / DV clearance

Based elsewhere in the UK? No problem. We're open to cleared candidates looking to relocate to join a purpose-driven team in a secure location. Relocation support can be discussed post-screening.
