In completing the application form you must give as much detail as possible. We will confirm your education history and employment history on a continuous month-by-month basis. We will contact each of your previous employers and educational establishments within the period as stated above.

We will need to contact your current employer before we are able to complete five year screening. Permission to do so is a condition of the offer of provisional employment.  If such permission is withheld this offer will be withdrawn if the security screening is not concluded satisfactorily.

Provisional period of employment: After gaining references to confirm your occupation for the previous five years we may offer you a position on a provisional basis whilst we are checking the remaining references. This period will be for no longer than twelve weeks. Failure to meet the security screening standards of the company will result in the termination of your provisional employment.

 

Criminal offences
