Onboarding Process

Q. What kind of background checks are carried out?

As we work closely with vulnerable groups of people, we have a comprehensive Safer Recruitment process.

Alongside general Right to Work checks, we complete an Enhanced DBS check, Occupational Health Assessment, and References covering 2 – 5 years. We may complete further vetting such as BPSS and prison clearance, depending on the role. This is to meet our contractual and safeguarding obligations as an employer for our staff, resident, participant groups, and stakeholders.

Q. How long does onboarding take?

The hiring process timeline can vary. This is due to the time it can take to receive a completed DBS (and other vetting if required for the role), it can also vary depending on how many references are required and how quickly we receive a response.
