All offers are conditional and require the checks the be met. All of our checks are in line with NHS Employers Employment check standards and UK Government requirements

Post interview, you will be required to present documentation which confirms your identity and prove you have the required qualifications of the role. Your offer letter will outline which documents you are required to bring with you along with how to book an appointment with our recruitment team to complete your checks. Please note that you must bring original documents as copied cannot be accepted.
