What you can expect 🌱
Essential requirements ✅
Even if you don’t meet every requirement below, feel free to still apply as we are often hiring for similar roles which your background might be better suited to.
Please be aware that some of our UK roles at PA Consulting require UK security clearance.
All PA people are required to undergo background checks and to achieve the Baseline Personnel Security Standard however, some UK roles also require higher levels of National Security Vetting, where applicants must have at least 5 years of continuous residency in the UK.
We therefore ask that you only apply if you meet the residency requirements (i.e. you are a British citizen or have been resident in the UK for the past 5 years), as this is the prerequisite for a security clearance. If you're unsure about your eligibility, we encourage you to review the UK Government’s guidance on security vetting before applying.
