Security Clearance & Eligibility

Please be aware that 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, 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).

If you’re unsure about your eligibility, we encourage you to review the UK Government’s guidance on security vetting before applying.
