Once inducted and appropriately trained, you will manage your own caseload and act as an initial point of contact for enquiries, taking all necessary actions and maintaining records to ensure we meet our statutory obligations.  The role will entail routine liaison with the HR team, the various commission resourcing leads as well as external agencies.

  • Experience of working in regulated environments. 

  • Knowledge of UKSV processes, security clearance levels and the associated requirements. 

  • Knowledge of other personnel security checks and vetting processes.
