A strong commitment to ensuring all information adheres to accessibility standards and that our workplaces are accessible and disability friendly. What we will need from you if you're successful In accordance with Home Office guidance, successful candidates must evidence their right to work in the UK before commencement of employment. This is not a role we consider to be eligible for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route based on Manchester City Council policy. Candidates are therefore encouraged to consider their own right to work options without the requirement for Manchester City Council sponsorship. Pre-Employment Checks If you are successful in securing a position with us, the pre employment checks required will depend on the role you've applied for. As a guide, these checks may include: Proof of Right to Work: You'll need to provide documentary evidence of your right to work in the UK. Please note, visa sponsorship is not guaranteed for this role. References: We'll require references from your current and previous employer(s). Proof of Qualifications: Evidence of qualifications relevant to the role will be required. Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Check: A criminal record check may be necessary, depending on the role. Proof of Manchester Residency: For some roles, you may need to demonstrate that you reside within the boundaries of Manchester City Council. Police Vetting: Some roles may require police vetting to ensure suitability for accessing sensitive law enforcement systems or information. Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) Clearance: BPSS clearance is primarily used for roles that involve access to government data, systems, or assets. It ensures that individuals meet basic security requirements and can be trusted with sensitive information. Driving Licence: If the role requires driving, we'll need evidence of your valid driving licence. Other relevant information We want everyone to be able to be themselves at work and give their best. If you need additional support to undertake the duties of the role, we'll make every effort to source any necessary aids, adaptations or equipment. If, however, any task proves to be unachievable, we will look at redesigning parts of the role. For more information about the role, please ensure that you read the role profile attached. Legal Right to Work: Applicants must have existing right to work in the UK, as visa sponsorship is not available for this position. Qualification: Ideally you will have a BTEC Higher in Civil Engineering or similar qualification with relevant post qualification experience, but if you are still working towards this, we'd still like to hear from you.

If you do drive, you must always hold a full valid driving licence and provide your own car for use at work, as well as provide all the appropriate documentation. You will receive an allowance per mile of business use.
