Health
All successful candidates are required to complete a pre-employment medical
questionnaire before appointment.
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks.
All posts involving work with vulnerable groups, including children, will require a
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Having a criminal record will not
necessarily bar you from working with us. This will depend on the nature of the
position and the circumstances and background of your offenses.
Under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, you only have to declare unspent
convictions. However, if the post for which you are applying is one which is an
exception under this Act and is eligible, we will ask anyone who is provisionally
offered a position/role for an up-to-date criminal record check from the DBS, which
may provide information about convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warnings
which might otherwise be regarded as spent. If this is the case, it will be clearly
indicated in the advertisement and job description.
Self Disclosure of Criminal Record Information
Do you have any spent, unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands
☐Yes
☐No
or warnings?
If the answer to the question is “Yes”, please provide details of offenses, penalties,
dates and the country in which they occurred, or of allegations made against you, in
a sealed envelope marked with your name, the post name and the job reference
number. Attach this to your completed application form.
