3. You will need to have DBS clearance to be able to commence in post:
As there is a strong possibility you will come into contact with children as part of your role your details will be checked against the PoCA (Protection of Children) list. In addition, your details will be checked against the PoVA (Protection of Vulnerable Adults) list. These will both be done through the Disclosure & Barring Service.
If you have joined the Disclosure & Barring update service please inform us immediately by reply of this email with a clear scanned copy of the certificate you joined with. By providing a copy of your DBS certificate you are authorising Medical HR to check your details on the online service, a decision will then be made as to whether or not you need to complete another DBS certificate as above. We will require sight of your original DBS certificate on your first day.
If you are currently residing outside of the UK you will need to provide us with a certificate of good standing from your local police station, dated within the last three months.
You will need to ensure that you bring the original certificate with you to Induction to be able to commence in post.
If we do not receive the current certificate from you or you do not hold a current enhanced DBS certificate then you will be required to complete an online application. Your DBS certificate will need to be issued by DBS before you can commence in post.
