• A British citizen or a member of the European Community or other states in the EEA (Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein). Commonwealth citizens and foreign nationals are also eligible but only if they are resident in the UK free of restrictions.

• Law-abiding and have a high standard of personal behaviour and social conduct
• In good health and physically fit. You will also need to meet our eyesight standards. There are no height restrictions
