Criminal Record
This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 as it involves contact with
patients. This means that you must declare on your application form whether or not you have any
convictions, cautions, reprimands or bindovers even if these would be considered as spent under the Act. All criminal histories, including cautions, regardless of how long ago they occurred or any
assurances made by the Police at the time that it would not count as a Police record, will be revealed on a CRB check.
If you have answered yes on the application form, but due to the sensitive nature of
the offence(s) you have not recorded the detail, this information must be provided separately to us.
If a CRB is undertaken and offences are recorded that have not been declared on your application
form, or disclosed separately to us, this will result in any offer of employment being withdrawn and you may be liable for the cost of the CRB check.
Care workers work with vulnerable people and we take our responsibility to protect them very seriously. Your appointment will depend on the satisfactory completion of a criminal records disclosure, but at this stage, we need you to answer the following questions truthfully and honestly.
