In addition you may be invited to undertake assessments which could include occupational testing, presentations or specific job related assessments.

We are legally obliged to carry out DBS Checks on potential employees whose job will involve caring for, supervising, training or being in sole charge of children or vulnerable adults.

We will let you know if you fall into this category and will give you instructions on how to apply for a DBS Check. Hexagon will pay for your DBS Check.

The completed DBS Check will be sent directly to you and we will receive notification that it has been sent out to you. A member of the Human Resources Team will then contact you to ask you to produce your Certificate for verification.

Further information on DBS Checks can be found at https://www.gov.uk/disclosure-barring-service-check/overview
