We hire the best talent and value a diverse, inclusive team. However, our top priority is the safety of the children at our centres. Therefore, all employees must undergo an Enhanced criminal records check (known as DBS or PVG), which we pay for. You will need to provide a 5-year address history and ID (such as passport/birth certificate). Convictions related to violence, drugs, or safeguarding may affect your application. Not all convictions will disqualify you, as we assess each case individually. More information on DBS checks is available on the gov.uk website.
