Information we need to check before you join us

As part of the recruitment process we verify the following information before you can start your employment with us: –

  • Right-to-work Checks: During your interview, you’ll be asked whether or not you need permission to work in the UK. We’re legally required to check this. In order to prove that you are eligible to work in the UK, you’ll need to bring along one of the following documents: a UK/EAA passport, valid visa or full size UK/EAA birth certificate.
  • References:  We’ll require a minimum of two referees which cover a duration of three years. These must be professional, not a member of your family or a friend. We’re also unable to accept references from agencies. We will only request references only if you have previously worked for an agency.

Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosure:  Anyone who will be working directly with people we support will be required to undergo a DBS check first. The level of this check will depend on the role you have applied for.
