Offers of appointment may be withdrawn if these checks prove unsatisfactory. Self-disclosure will be required as part of the recruitment process. If you fail to disclose or provide sight of your DBS certificate, your offer may be withdrawn. The College’s DBS policy is available on request. New City College aims to develop a workforce that reflects the diverse community we serve and encourages applications from candidates from a BAME background.
