The MOD is an Equal Opportunity Employer aiming for the widest possible diversity in its workforce and drawing recruits from every part of the community.  Applications are welcome from anyone who meets the stated requirements, however, we particularly welcome applications from ethnic minorities, women and people with disabilities who are currently under represented in the MoD.
