  • Whether you are currently DV cleared, or have lapsed Clearance – please contact us. We have IT roles currently available.
  • DV Clearance is only available to UK nationals.

SC Cleared Jobs:

  • The Security Check (SC) is the most widely held security clearance for posts involving long-term, frequent and uncontrolled access to secret assets and occasional and controlled access to top-secret material - and we have UK clients offering a variety of permanent and contract roles.

BPSS Cleared Jobs (formally known as BC Cleared Jobs):

  • A Baseline Personnel Security Standard (Basic Security Check) will evidence current criminal record and unspent convictions under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
  • A BPSS (BC) provides a level of assurance to the trustworthiness and integrity of individuals whose work involves access to confidential assets or information.
  • There are no access restrictions for this level of disclosure and the result may be sent to the applicant or the employer.
  • The BC is not a formal security clearance check, however it is a prerequisite for the other security clearances.
