The Trust is committed to promoting an inclusive working environment for all staff, including those with disabilities or long-term health conditions. We have an Occupational Health Service and a Staff Disability Advisor who can provide advice and support to employees and their departments on aids, adaptations and adjustments to working arrangements. Once a conditional job offer has been made, you will be sent a Health Declaration form. This will allow you to tell us about any health conditions or disabilities that may impact on your capability to perform the proposed role so that appropriate advice and support can be sought. If the job you are applying for has any hazard specific or safety-critical duties you will also be asked to complete a New Starter Health Questionnaire. The Trust’s Occupational Health Service will assess your responses to this to make sure that the duties of the post would not place you, or others around you, at risk in the workplace and to identify any workplace adjustments or assistance that may be required.
The Trust does not discriminate unfairly against applicants who might have a criminal history. Employment of individuals with a criminal record will depend on the nature of the position for which they have applied and the circumstances of their offences.
In order to protect certain vulnerable groups within society, there are a number of posts within the Trust that are exempt from the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act……. by virtue of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (Exceptions) Order ….
Where the position involves carrying out certain activities or regulated activities with children and other vulnerable groups in the course of normal duties, the successful candidate will be required to have a criminal record disclosure through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). This will check for any previous criminal convictions, cautions, reprimands or warnings, and where applicable, the appropriate ‘barring’ list that prohibits work with vulnerable groups. Any offer of employment will be conditional on a satisfactory disclosure certificate from the DBS. The job advertisement/job description will indicate if this is applicable to the post you are applying for. If you have registered for the DBS Update Service, you may be able to provide an existing DBS disclosure. Please contact the recruiting department for further information.
The Trust complies fully with the DBS Code of Practice. Disclosures are handled in the strictest of confidence and only by staff who have been designated and trained in handling such information.
Some posts may be eligible for other types of security screening, where basic criminal history may be checked. Please see the guidance below for further details.
The Trust does not discriminate unlawfully against any applicant on the basis of information revealed by security screening. All appointments are made strictly in accordance with the trust Equality Policy and applications are welcomed from a wide range of candidates.
