Recruitment Privacy Notice

We have a duty to inform all applicants of our Data Protection Policy.  We respect your rights under all applicable data protection legislation; including the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and appropriate decision making. We also respect the Data Protection Principles including Lawfulness, Fairness and transparency, Purpose Limitation, Data minimisation, Accuracy, Storage limitation, Integrity and Confidentiality. Our lawful condition for processing applicant data is for the purpose of recruitment and employment.

In order to communicate with applicants and determine whether they are able to meet the entry criteria of a role we must process some personal data; including full name and contact details, photo ID, right to work status, education and employment history. If relevant to the role, we may ask about the applicant’s driving licenses, and offer the opportunity to disclose any criminal convictions or relevant health information. We will not discriminate against any candidate on the basis of any disclosed criminal conviction, health condition or disability if that candidate is able to meet the criteria for that role. Wherever possible, we will seek to make reasonable adjustments.

If an applicant is not offered the role, we will retain their application form, and CV, for a period of 6 months prior to it being securely deleted in case other opportunities arise within the Group. Access to personal data is restricted to appropriate personnel, solely for the purpose of recruitment. You may ask us to erase, restrict or update your personal data at any time, in line with the Data Subject Rights.

Successful applicants will be issued an Employee Data Protection Privacy Notice, which details how their personal data, and how additional data requested, will be processed during, and after, the term of their employment within the Company.
