A DBS check is a background check that reveals any criminal convictions, cautions, reprimands, or warnings.

Enhanced DBS: Includes the above, plus any additional information held by local police thats considered relevant to the role. Enhanced with Barred Lists: Includes all of the above, plus checks against the childrens and/or adults barred lists.

The job advert and recruitment team will let you know if this applies to your role.

This means that the cost of submitting and processing a DBS application if you are successful and join us, will be deducted from your salary within the first three months of employment.
