We expect all candidates to present themselves available for work with all legal documents (e.g. visa) required for the type of work they will be undertaking.

If you are in receipt of a pension upon commencing employment with the authority, this may affect your pension entitlements and you should therefore seek advice from the relevant Pensions Authority.
