Enhanced DBS: Includes the above, plus any additional information held by local police that’s considered relevant to the role. Enhanced with Barred Lists: Includes all of the above, plus checks against the children’s and/or adults’ barred lists. Who Needs a DBS Check Most roles involving direct patient contact, working with children or vulnerable adults, or access to sensitive information will require a DBS check. The job advert and recruitment team will let you know if this applies to your role.

This means that the cost of submitting and processing a DBS application if you are successful and join us, will be deducted from your salary within the first three months of employment.   If, however, you withdraw from a conditional offer after the DBS process has begun, you will still be liable for the cost incurred.
