If your role requires you to come in contact with patients and vulnerable groups as part of your normal duties, you are required to disclose all past or pending charges, convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings (spent and unspent). An applicant must disclose details of any such conviction(s) in order to protect the public. For a list of jobs that require a DBS check, visit the government DBS website.

We have a duty of care to provide a safe working environment to patients, clients, visitor and our staff. The post you have applied for is exempt from the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offender Act 1974. The Act prohibits any person making an application of employment to withhold details of any convictions which for other purposes are spent under the Act.

It is important that you complete the application form; guidance notes on completing an online disclosure will help you to do so. Please provide your address history covering the last 5 years, your National Insurance number, passport and driving licence.
