Security Clearance

Some UK roles at PA Consulting require a UK security clearance. All PA people are required to undergo background checks and to achieve the Baseline Personnel Security Standard. Certain UK roles may also require higher levels of National Security Vetting, wherein 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). If you are unsure about your eligibility, please review the UK Government’s guidance on security vetting before applying.
