We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all, including vulnerable adults and young people. All appointments are subject to Safer Recruitment procedures, including a DBS check, conducted by Due Diligence Limited (DDC Ltd) on behalf of GC, at no cost to the candidate.

If you are on the Barred List, it is illegal to apply for roles involving regulated activity with the concerned groups.

We aim to increase workforce diversity and offer a guaranteed interview to applicants meeting essential criteria who are from diverse ethnic backgrounds or have disabilities. Applicants from ethnic communities or with impairments that affect daily activities are encouraged to apply under this scheme, which will only be shared with relevant hiring personnel.

As part of our commitment to social inclusion, we support the Ban the Box campaign, removing conviction questions from applications to provide fair opportunities for all.
