What references do I need to provide?

Information about what details you'll need to provide the contact details of your referees.

Written by Sophia Kaur

As part of your edyn.care onboarding, you'll need to provide three references: two professional references and one character reference.

Here's what you need to know about each type.

1. Two professional references

You'll need to provide two references from your employment history.

  • One must be from your current employer or agency.

  • Your references must come from a verifiable business or organisation.

  • We cannot accept professional references sent from personal email addresses, such as Gmail or Hotmail.

Please ensure you provide the correct work contact details for your referees so our Recruitment Team can contact them directly.

2. One character reference

Your character reference should come from someone who knows you well in a personal capacity and can speak about your character and reliability.

Your character reference cannot be from:

  • A friend

  • A family member or relative

  • A spouse or partner

Suitable examples may include teachers, doctors, former colleagues or other reputable individuals who have known you for a substantial amount of time in a personal capacity.

Important: Please provide a character reference only for this section. We'll request your professional references separately as part of your onboarding.

What happens next?

Once you've submitted your referee details, our Recruitment Team will contact them by email to request your references.

To avoid delays, please let your referees know to expect our email and ask them to check their junk or spam folder.

Providing suitable references promptly helps us complete your onboarding checks and move your application forward.
