Right to Work (UK)

Prior to the start of your placement, your Right to Work in the UK will be checked by our Compliance Team. If you are a British National then your National Insurance Number will be sufficient to show you have the right to work. For foreign nationals, we work closely with UK Border Agency and by law are required to verify immigration status of the non-EEU candidates placed in the UK.

Guidance on Right to Work is detailed in our comprehensive Candidate Handbook which every RoQ Star is given when they join us.

DBS & ID Checks

RoQ Recruitment Services sees identity verification as the most fundamental of all pre-employment checks. We follow the NHS Employment Check Standards that have been developed with the Department of Health and employers in the NHS.

Criminal Convictions

Applicants for healthcare positions are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. They are required to declare prosecutions or convictions, including those considered ‘spent’ under this Act. NHS Policy and the National Contract require Agencies who supply temporary staff to obtain a Disclosure and Barring Service (previously CRB)/ a Disclosure Scotland (DS)/Access NI) for all candidates. We will only provide this information with your consent and we cannot be held responsible should clients decline your services following refusal to comply with this request or disclosure of a criminal conviction.

Guidance on Criminal Convictions is detailed in our comprehensive Candidate Handbook.

Avoiding Discrimination

RoQ Recruitment will not unlawfully discriminate in the recruitment processes on the grounds of ethnicity, disability, age, gender, religion and belief, or sexual orientation.

To avoid discrimination, RoQ Recruitment will treat all job applicants in the same way at each stage of the recruitment process. Applicants for healthcare positions are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. You are required to declare prosecutions or convictions, including those considered ‘spent’ under this Act.
