This article has been written for the Koru Kids Nanny Service for nannies who are thinking about applying.
You won't need to have a DBS check before you apply. As soon as you accept a job offer from a family, we’ll organise an Enhanced DBS check for you at no cost to you. You'll just need to fill in an online form and show us some supporting documents, and we'll email you all the information you need to complete these few quick steps.
If you already have a DBS check from a previous role, we are happy to check this and if it's acceptable then we won't need to complete a new check for you. Your certificate would need to be for an Enhanced check less than 12 months old, including the Children's Barred List. You can upload this for review here.
You can find out more information about which cautions and convictions will appear on a DBS check here. Please do read this carefully if you’re not sure about past cautions and convictions, and if you think there may be something that could show up on your check please reach out to discuss this with us. We don't have a blanket policy and we are happy to review these on a case-by-case basis.
