We do not collect more information than we need to fulfil our stated purposes. During the application process we will ask if we can retain your information for future vacancies, should you be unsuccessful with this application. The information we ask for is used to assess your suitability for employment. You don’t have to provide what we ask for but it might affect your application if you don’t.

You must successfully complete pre-employment checks to progress to a final offer.

We will contact your referees, using the details you provide in your application, directly to obtain references

If we make a final offer, we will also ask you for the following:

Bank details – to process salary payments
Emergency contact details – so we know who to contact in case you have an emergency at work

ATLAS

If you accept a final offer from us, some of your personnel records will be held on ATLAS which is an internally used HR records system.

How long is the information retained for?

If you are successful, the information you provide during the application process will be retained by us as part of your employee file for the duration of your employment plus 6 years following the end of your employment. This includes your criminal records declaration, fitness to work, records of any security checks and references.

If you are unsuccessful at any stage of the process, the information you have provided until that point will be retained for 6 months from the closure of the campaign. (unless you have given us permission to retain the information for consideration to future vacancies).
