FAQs
Q - What are the Degree requirements?
A - For these positions, we currently require a second class lower (2.2) minimum undergraduate degree classification or equivalent.
Q - Do you offer any kind of relocation package?
A - Some relocation assistance is available. Further information will be provided to applicants should they be successful.
Q - What about work permits and eligibility to work in the UK?
A - At Ford we welcome all applications for our job opportunities. However, we are unable to employ anyone who does not have permission to live and work in the UK. All candidates will be asked to provide originals of documentation proving their right to work in the UK at assessment centre stage. The Company will be unable to offer employment if the candidate has been unable to provide the appropriate supporting original documentation. The Company has a duty to check that all new employees are entitled to work in the UK and to do the type of work offered. Any job offer will therefore be conditional on the individual holding the right to work in the UK.

A - The standard working hours are 37.5 hours a week, 7.5 hours a day Monday to Friday. Start and finish times will vary between location and departments.
Q - When am I expected to start if I am offered a position?
A - Actual timing would be discussed with candidates when formally offered a position. However, we would prefer candidates to be able to start from January 2019.
