Senior Educator
The advert says the job needs UK security clearance:
“Due to the nature of this role, you must be eligible for UK Security Clearance at SC level.”
SC clearance usually needs five years of living in the UK, and DV clearance usually needs ten. If you have lived here that long, for example on a Student and then a Graduate visa, you may be able to get it. Most people applying from outside the UK cannot, so the highest likelihood we give this job is Unlikely. Ask Capita whether they would sponsor you.
