The vetting process
If, after your job interviews you are offered work, you will be asked to undertake a medical examination, and to enter what we call the ‘Developed Vetting' process. This takes, on average, about nine months to complete. You will be visited by a Vetting Officer who will conduct a detailed interview covering your character, family history and personal circumstances. They might even interview family members and work colleagues as part of this process.
You may not hear much from us during the vetting process, but you can be confident we'll be working behind the scenes on your behalf.
Note: In order to obtain Developed Vetting Security Clearance, you must be 18 or over at the time of entry, and it's unlikely you will pass this process if you:
- Have used Class A drugs (e.g. ecstasy, cocaine, etc) in the last 12 months.
- Have used Class B/C drugs (e.g. amphetamines, cannabis, etc) in the last 6 months.
- Are currently being treated for an addiction (e.g. alcohol, gambling, etc) or have received such treatment in the last 12 months.
- Have ever suffered from manic depression or schizophrenia.
- Are currently bankrupt or the subject of an Individual Voluntary Agreement (IVA).
