A Social Media Check is a review of your publicly available online activity, typically across platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and others. The purpose is to identify any public posts or content that could raise concerns for employers, such as:</p><p>Hate speech or discriminatory behaviour</p><p>Threats or acts of violence</p><p>Illegal activity or substance misuse</p><p>Sexually explicit material</p><p>Extremist views or affiliations</p><p>Importantly, this check does not involve hacking into your accounts or accessing private messages. It only considers content you have chosen to make public.</p><p>Employers use this kind of screening to help ensure their workplace remains safe, inclusive, and aligned with company values. It’s not about judging your personality or lifestyle—it’s about checking for potential red flags that might affect the role or company culture.</p><p>If you have questions or concerns about the social media check, we would be happy to explain in more detail what’s being looked at and how your data is handled securely and fairly.</p><p><strong>Feedback</strong></p><br><br>Feedback will only be provided if you attend an interview or assessment.<h4>Security</h4>Successful candidates must undergo a criminal record check.People working with government assets must complete <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-baseline-personnel-security-standard" target="_blank">baseline personnel security standard (opens in new window)</a> checks.<h4>Nationality requirements</h4><p>This job is broadly open to the following groups:</p><ul><li>UK nationals</li><li>nationals of the Republic of Ireland</li><li>nationals of Commonwealth countries who have the right to work in the UK</li><li>nationals of the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein and family members of those nationalities with settled or pre-settled status under the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families" target="_blank">European Union Settlement Scheme (EUSS) (opens in a new window)</a></li><li>nationals of the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein and family members of those nationalities who have made a valid application for settled or pre-settled status under the European Union Settlement Scheme (EUSS)</li><li>individuals with limited leave to remain or indefinite leave to remain who were eligible to apply for EUSS on or before 31 December 2020</li><li>Turkish nationals, and certain family members of Turkish nationals, who have accrued the right to work in the Civil Service</li></ul><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/nationality-rules" target="_blank">Further information on nationality requirements (opens in a new window)</a><h4>Working for the Civil Service</h4>The <a href="http://civilservicecommission.independent.gov.uk/code/" target="_blank">Civil Service Code (opens in a new window)</a> sets out the standards of behaviour expected of civil servants.<br><br>We recruit by merit on the basis of fair and open competition, as outlined in the Civil Service Commission's <a href="https://civilservicecommission.independent.gov.uk/recruitment/recruitment-principles/" target="_blank">recruitment principles (opens in a new window)</a>.The Civil Service embraces diversity and promotes equal opportunities.
