As part of our recruitment process, we conduct background checks on all candidates who receive a conditional offer of employment. The nature of the scheme that we are contracted to work on with Scottish Government means that we are required to comply with UK Government standards when carrying out pre‑employment checks for new starters. This check is known as the Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS).

BPSS checks include:
• Verification of identity
• Verification of right to work in the UK
• Verification of your previous 3 years of employment history, including periods spent overseas
• A basic criminal record check (DBS), and where relevant, criminal record information from countries where you have lived for significant periods

Information obtained will only be used for the purposes of assessing your suitability for the role. Please note that if successful, any offer of employment made will be conditional pending the successful completion of the BPSS checks. To meet BPSS requirements, candidates must hold valid UK Right to Work documentation. If you have lived or worked overseas, these periods can be verified as long as the relevant evidence can be provided.
