MoJ Group Security is looking to expand our National Security Vetting team by recruiting x2 Vetting Team Advisors to support the offboarding of National Security Vetting (NSV) service from Protective Security Centre (PSC/Home Office) and returning it back ‘in house’ to the MoJ.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in establishing a new National Security Vetting (NSV) team within the Ministry of Justice (MoJ). You will support the Senior NSV Manager in designing and implementing a robust vetting service for the MoJ and its agencies. Your responsibilities will include developing processes, workflows, guidance documents, and policies; engaging with stakeholders; and delivering training across all aspects of the NSV process. You will also support the recruitment, onboarding, and training of Executive Officers (EOs) and Administrative Officers (AOs), ensuring the team is fully prepared for the service launch in March 2026.

Once we have off-boarded from PSC you will be leading a team to provide a quality NSV service to the whole of MoJ. Ensuring efficient, customer focused delivery which minimises risks and supports people within NSV roles.

This is an ‘admin heavy’ role with two prominent workstreams. You will be responsible for running and maintaining one of two work streams Vetting Operations or Vetting Aftercare:

Vetting Operations is responsible for the end-to-end process of NSV applications from sponsoring and issuing links, transferring clearances in and out of the MoJ and granting clearances for all cases in line with the MoJ’s risk appetite and tolerance.

Aftercare is the term used for the ongoing management of effective personnel security. Its purpose is to investigate, monitor, risk assess and risk manage anything of security concern.

Both work steams will include interviewing applicants on sensitive subjects such as financial/medical and lifestyle.

The successful candidate will be matched to roles based on their experience and skill set to which you are most suitable too, however you will be expected to be cross-skilled in all NSV workstreams and understand all areas of the business.
