Security Clearance (SC) Q&A Read first before asking questions
Well, I’m still in a (non-defence) contract which is just as well as the vetting website shows this message: UKSV is currently operating, with a significantly reduced workforce, in support of the COVID-19 containment effort. As such the need to reduce to a minimum business as usual workflow is...- hodd

Security Clearance (SC) Q&A Read first before asking questions
Yes, it was a permie role. The new company/agency in question aren’t being proactive so I might have to go elsewhere. They’re just saying they can’t transfer my SC and would have to apply from scratch. As you say, even if that were the case, my recent SC should hopefully be viewed...- hodd

Security Clearance (SC) Q&A Read first before asking questions
Just an update then. I’ve seen the information from UK SV. It says (** are dates but best not to write specifics): Clearance Type: SC Lapsed on **/**/2019 (my leaving date) Valid from **/12/2018 Expires: **/12/2028 So if I go to a new company, they apparently have to start my SC from scratch.- hodd

Security Clearance (SC) Q&A Read first before asking questions
Hi, it’s actually a contractor position within my previous employer’s organisation. I’d just be a contractor this time with an agency/consultancy as opposed to being an employee there. Nothing would change except the company who pays me.- hodd

Thanks, nothing interesting about me in the last six months ? Yes, the new client isn’t that proactive and just simply forwarded me the reply from my previous employer saying my SC was only transferable if I went back to them.- hodd

Security Clearance (SC) Q&A Read first before asking questions
Hello all If anyone can advise on transferring SC, I’d be really grateful. I had SC with an employer, but I left (resigned) that job six months ago. The employer informed NSVS that I had left, which I guess is standard procedure. I’ve not done any defence-related work within the last six...- hodd

Two limited companies at once?
I bet you get a few posture problems, though. I’d rather have a small tax bill than a big physio bill.- hodd

Two limited companies at once?
Could I ask you to look again at your replies in this thread, please. How are they helpful? Two other posters took the time to post helpful responses. An umbrella company, for example, sounds ideal for someone intending to contract for a few years, a timescale I gave in post 1. Thanks again...- hodd

But it will be there. It’s not tricky to understand. You’ll still be here. How lucky you are not to have things like unplanned family problems to deal with. The thread’s done. I thanked the two people who were good enough to post useful replies.- hodd

But I can pay my tax in October. You’ll still be spending long evenings on an Internet forum.- hodd

I picked all the answers and ignored the other posts. Enjoy your evening. I was a contractor once and know it’s important to keep yourself occupied.- hodd

Thanks meridian and Hobosapien. May the rest of you live in interesting times, although with 30000+ posts it’s unlikely ?- hodd
