Before you start work

Before you start your new role we will need to ensure you are fully compliant to work. This will involve having the following in place:

• Right to work
• DBS (where applicable)
• Two references covering at least three years (more than two references will be required where more than two jobs have been held in three years)
• Where you have previous experience in a care related position, we will ask for references that cover this time period up to seven years.

We will require your written consent prior to processing both your DBS check references.

Please note: The cost of the DBS check for Care Workers must be met by the Care Worker when recruited and this will be reimbursed following six months in post.

Care Workers may start their training and shadowing when their DBS is back and one reference is in place, and all compliance documents must be in place before lone working can commence.
