The code of Civil Service is Honesty, integrity, impartiality, and objectivity. The values of the Home Office are: Respectful, courageous, compassionate, and collaborative. And the core values of the Border Force are commitment, discipline, respect, and moral courage. Even though a position with Border Force challenges you with securing the UK border in a highly pressurised environment, your interviewer is curious about how well your brand of customer service would align with their values and approach. Share an example where you exhibited the highest level of professionalism while embracing all the values they look for and promote in their agencies.
