The Home Office recruitment process adheres to the requirements of the Civil Service Nationality Rules. Civil Service recruitment: nationality rules - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Eligibility for appointment, including on the grounds of nationality, is assessed during pre-employment checks, but breakdowns of nationality are not conducted in relation to those employers after they have been appointed or leave those roles.
