Terms and conditions of employment

Eligibility

To avoid possible disappointment at a later stage, we recommend that you check you are eligible before applying. The main criteria are set out in the section about you.

Age

In line with our commitment to equality of opportunity we do not impose an age limit for the posts. However, we will normally expect successful candidates to be able to give some years' service following appointment.

Nationality

To apply, you must be a UK national or a British Protected person.

Equal Opportunities

HM Revenue and Customs is an equal opportunities employer, committed to equal opportunities policies. We welcome people from all backgrounds so that our workforce reflects the community we serve.

People who wish to work part time are welcome to apply and specific details of the working pattern will be discussed with the successful candidate but applicants should be aware that we might not be able to accommodate a particular working pattern. We will, however, do our best to meet your and the business' needs.

Candidates with a disability

We invite you to tell us about any disability you may have and about any assistance we can give you at interview. Please complete the enclosed form if appropriate. If you are invited to interview and wish to discuss the assistance you require we would be happy to talk about particular arrangements with you nearer the time.

By disability we mean a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long term adverse effect on your ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.

Enhanced Security Checks

HMRC has an exemption under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exemptions order 1975). Applicants who are successful in reaching the interview stage of the recruitment process will be asked to declare details of any criminal convictions including spent convictions and cautions, to allow basic security checks to be completed. Declaring a criminal conviction will not necessarily prevent you from being successful in your application from this particular post but it may exclude you from applying for other posts within the Department.
