Keep records related to our hiring processes.

If we decide to call you for an interview, we will use the information you provide to us at the interview to decide whether to offer you a role or work contract (for contractors not employed directly by the Society).

We are required to carry out a criminal records check in order to satisfy ourselves that there is nothing in your criminal convictions history which makes you unsuitable for the role. In particular:
We are legally required by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to carry out criminal record checks for those carrying out certificated roles or roles which hold an SMR function.
Roles which require certification approval or FCA approval are ones which under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (SI 1975/1023)] and the Police Act 1997 (Criminal Records) Regulations (SI 2002/233) are eligible for an enhanced check from the Disclosure and Barring Service.
These roles require a high degree of trust and integrity. Given the nature of our business, we consider that it is necessary in the public interest to undertake these checks and so we would like to ask you to seek an enhanced disclosure of your criminal records history.
