All recruited employees will be required to provide a National Insurance number, with evidence that it is valid (P45, NI Card). All applicants will be required to establish their identity, using photographic evidence (photographic drivers licence, passport, etc) for criminal record checks, and all candidates will be required to produce documentation of any change of name (e.g. marriage licence), or sign a declaration stating the reason for the name change.
After initial background checks, candidates will be invited to an in-depth interview with an experienced interviewer from Option Care. Interviewers who are not completely sure that they can comply with the highest standards of interviewing will seek and take the advice of the Registered Provider prior to engaging in interviews. It is a requirement that for each interview a strategy is implemented to test the applicant against previously agreed standards, and that these tests are carried out and recorded. Specific attention will be given to avoiding discrimination of any kind. Care will be taken to ensure that the interviewee has all of the information they require in order to fully understand the job on offer, their responsibilities and, conversely, that no false impressions are conveyed.
