Outline & Structure: We publish a magazine aimed at people leaving the Armed Forces

Brief:
Whether you recruit for the nuclear sector or you’re in high level IT or cyber security,
you’re looking for good quality candidates with the correct security clearance credentials.
Service-leavers reading Civvy Street Magazine are an exact match – and have a deep
understanding of the notion of ‘Need to know’.

Summary:
By their nature, weapons of war and other strategic equipment and information are
shrouded in a thick layer of secrecy. Naturally, Service personnel are given the access
they need to operate as necessary – with a ‘need to know’ understanding.

We are looking for a piece that reflects how Service-leavers entering the civilian job
market can use these accreditations and clearances as an advantage.

Please include:

 Ideas regarding occupations where forms of security clearance are
required.
 Detail different security levels.
 Mention any jobs market shortages or forecasts for growth areas (re
employment).
 Discuss the types of clearance that Service-leavers might have achieved
and any issues regarding expiry etc.
 Outline the other skills and attributes that Service-leavers may need to
display to gain security cleared roles.
