not a proof of your immunity, but your serology levels will be required.

Failure to provide sufficient evidence may result in the offer of employment

As

a result of the changes to the UK immigration rules which came into effect on 1

January 2021, the Ministry of Defence will only offer sponsorship for a skilled

worker visa under the points-based system, where a role has been deemed to be

business critical. This role does not meet that category, and we will not

sponsor a visa. It is therefore NOT open to applications from those who will

require sponsorship under the points-based system.

Should

you apply for this role and be found to require sponsorship, your application

will be rejected, and any provisional offer of employment withdrawn.

The

Ministry of Defence requires all candidates who are successful at interview to

declare any outside interests. These declarations will be discussed with

successful candidates following the interview process and before a formal offer

of employment is made, as some outside interests may not be compatible with MOD

civilian roles. This will not, in the majority of cases, prevent employment in

MOD, but it is a measure that must be taken to ensure that appropriate

mitigations can be put in place to manage any potential, perceived or actual

conflicts of interest from the first day of employment.

The

Ministry of Defence adopts a zero-tolerance approach to unacceptable

behaviours, which includes bullying, harassment, sexual harassment,

discrimination, and victimisation. You will not be eligible and will not be

considered for this post if you have been dismissed from a role for such

unacceptable behaviours within the last five years. This will also apply if you

resign or otherwise leave a role but, because of an adverse decision, would

have been dismissed for gross misconduct had you continued in that employment.

Pre-employment checks will be carried out.

The

Ministry of Defence is committed to providing a safe and healthy working

environment for its staff which includes educating them on the benefits of not

smoking, protecting them from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke and

supporting those who want to give up smoking. Under the Smoke-Free Working

Environment policy, Smoking and the use of all tobacco products (including

combustible and chewing tobacco products) will not be permitted anywhere in the

Defence working environment. The policy is Whole Force and includes all Defence

personnel, contractors, visitors and other non-MOD personnel. All applicants

seeking, considering, or accepting employment with the Ministry of Defence

should be aware of this policy and that it is already in place at a number of

Defence Establishments.

This

is a Fixed-term Appointment as a Band 4 Dental Nurse in the Dental Centre at

Baker Barracks. Your responsibilities will be as described in this job advert.

The reason why you are appointed for a fixed period is due to a need to support

resilience at the Thorney Dental Centre. In the longer term there are

plans to locate the post to Pirbright. The decision to move the position

to Pirbright is delayed by; the requirement for increased infrastructure to the

premises to accommodate this. This is expected to be to at least 2

years. This post will therefore begin on your appointment and will end on 1st

January 2029. You should be aware that when your Fixed-term Appointment at MOD

comes to an end, arrangements will be made in line with the FTA policy.

If

you are a permanent MoD civil servant and are found successful for an

advertised Fixed-term Appointment (FTA) you should move into the post under a

Temporary Transfer (for up to a maximum of 3 years). At the end of the posting,

you will return to your previous MoD Business area. If this posting is at a

higher grade, your promotion will be temporary, and you will return to your

substantive grade at the end of the Temporary Transfer. If a Temporary Transfer

cannot be agreed between all parties, then a transfer on an FTA contract is

possible, read the FTA and Change of Work Location in the UK policy for further

information.

If

you are transferring to MoD from another government department (OGD) you should

join the MoD on an inward loan. At the end of the loan, you will return to your

home (OGD) department. If a loan cannot be agreed between all parties, then a

transfer on an FTA contract is possible, read the FTA policy for further

information.

Our success depends on our people our Whole Force regular and

Parliamentary processes. In fact, with over 2,000 different roles working
