“All new hires will undergo an initial BPSS Baseline Clearance which includes a UK residency and criminal records check.”
Raytheon UK, from its own careers pages
The catch: The baseline clearance itself includes a UK residency check, so a lack of UK residency history could block even the entry-level BPSS clearance, though Raytheon does not spell out a minimum length.
