Appearance
As a frontline uniformed service working with the public, Border Force and Immigration Enforcement Officers are required to wear a uniform whilst on duty. This will be provided to you after your start date. You must ensure that your uniform is worn correctly, is kept clean and is well presented. To support this requirement, adequate uniform supplies will be available and issued.
Uniformed staff represent their organisation at all times and should ensure that their dress and personal appearance reflects this responsibility.
For Border Force Officers, visible non-offensive tattoos are permissible if they are not facial or on the front or side of the neck (above collar line). Tattoos behind the ear lobe on the back of the neck are acceptable. Tattoos will need to be covered up for certain official events. Under no circumstances should tattoos that could be considered offensive be made visible. This could include discriminatory, racist, sexist, sectarian, homophobic, political, rude, lewd, crude or violent images or text.
