Due to the safeguarding requirements of our customers, many of whom are schools or hospitals, we complete confidential criminal record checks on all roles that attend customer sites. If you are successful, you will be required to complete an advanced DBS check. We strictly follow the DBS code of practice and comply with the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. If you have a criminal record, this will not necessarily preclude you from working for us.

We are an Equal Opportunities Employer. We encourage applicants from every background to apply for our vacancies. If you’ve got what it takes, then we want to hear from you!
