Appointments

All of the applicant's details, assessment and references are considered carefully before a decision is made.  Any area of doubt is referred to a more senior member of staff for comment.  No candidate is included on our register until all the vetting procedures are completed satisfactorily and meet all the current industry and legal requirements.
