On Monday 31st January 2022, the Government announced that it is reconsidering the legislation requiring vaccination to be a condition of deployment. Any decision to no longer make the COVID-19 vaccination a legal requirement for certain NHS staff, is subject to parliamentary process. This means, there will now be a period of further consultation following which MPs will vote on whether to reverse the current legislation.

This potential change to government policy means that the Trust has paused activity relating to this and will not be asking you to provide evidence of a vaccination at this time. If you are successfully appointed into a post we will keep you updated with how any changes in law will affect you.

DISCLOSURE AND BARRING SERVICE CHECK (formerly CRB)

FOR POSTS WITH DIRECT SERVICE USER CONTACT – Please be advised that due to recent changes in the DBS Service, organisations no longer receive copies of DBS Disclosures – these are sent directly to candidates only. Therefore, it will be your responsibility, if successful, to ensure that this is taken to the appointing officer as soon as you receive it.

Alternatively, if you have subscribed to the update service, we will be able to check your status once we have your authority to do so.

The Trust has now introduced a DBS Update Service which is a contractual requirement. You need to subscribe when you have applied for your DBS clearance and there is a time limit to subscribe of 19 days after receipt of your DBS disclosure. Please ensure that this is completed within the set time scale.

This update service is an annual subscription at a cost of £13 to you. This will enable the Trust to have instant online access to your DBS record, with your consent, and so will remove the need for you to have to apply for this repeat check again.
Applicant requirements
You must have appropriate UK professional registration.
This post is subject to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2020 and it will be necessary for a submission for Disclosure to be made to the Disclosure and Barring Service.
