Offer of employment

Once you've selected your preferred candidate, you'll need to confirm the offer details to the Recruitment team.

The Recruitment team will:

• prepare a draft electronic offer which you can view in your hiring dashboard
• arrange for it to be sent to the candidate electronically

Offers are conditional upon receipt of satisfactory employment checks.

Internal applicants applying for a fixed-term position

Before a permanent employee applies for a fixed term position, they will need to discuss with their manager whether a secondment could be considered.

Any decision to offer the role on a secondment basis will be made following discussion and agreement between the hosting and seconding managers.

Employment vetting

The Employment Vetting team will carry out the compliance and safeguarding checks that the role requires. 

Contact the Compliance team (PDF, 125 KB) if you have any queries.

Agree a start date

Once all checks have been completed, the Vetting team will contact you to discuss and agree a suitable start date with the candidate. 

After a start date is confirmed a full contract of employment will be issued.

Unsuccessful candidates

For unsuccessful candidates, please be prompt about providing candidate feedback following interview to provide a positive candidate experience.

Onboarding

There are a number of important tasks you’ll need to complete before and in the first few weeks and months of your new hire starting.
