Disclosure of Criminal Background
Due to the nature of the service we provide, all offers of employment will be subject to a satisfactory enhanced disclosure via the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
The post for which you are applying does not entitle you to rely on the Provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. All previous convictions must be disclosed.
If you disclose that you have a criminal conviction, and your application is successful, this will be discussed in confidence at interview.
If you do not disclose any convictions you have then this may result in your application being rejected, or any conditional job offer you have received being withdrawn. If you are appointed, this non-disclosure may later lead to your dismissal.
Any applicants who disclose convictions will be treated fairly, and will be provided with the opportunity to evidence their suitability for the post for which they are applying.
