Security Clearance - How long?

[Barriebazg]

Have you been offered the gig?? If you don't have Security Clearance then its going to be very unlikely that they offer you it as SC takes anywhere upto 16 weeks to clear.

SC comes on a bit of A4 paper so if you are asking how long its 297mm

[Bluebird]

doesn't sound like it.

at the NAfW, they do a prelim check and if thats ok you get the gig, full clearence can take a couple of weeks after that...

[DGK]

The successful candidate must be prepared to undergo security checks and the post is conditional upon such clearance being granted."

This is an NHS related position, will I need security clearance before I start?
