Pre-employment checks
All job offers will be made subject to any relevant checks.
These might include:
- references;
- Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) or Disclosure Scotland checks as applicable (you should have decided if a criminal record check is needed when you wrote your job description);
- proof of right to work, for
example a UK passport or a valid visa (if your new employee will need a Certificate of Sponsorship and/or a visa then the offer will be subject to them getting this); - proof of qualifications or professional membership (if these are needed for the job);
- proof of teaching qualifications (if the job involves teaching).
As soon as you have any of these, you should send them to HR.
