Many of our positions require a successful police records check, including a vulnerable sector check. The job posting will indicate whether or not the position you are applying for requires it.

Complete an application with your local police force. For privacy reasons, you must initiate and pick up your completed records check.

You will only be contacted if you are selected for an interview, usually within two to four weeks of the application deadline.

Please contact us in advance to let us know how we can assist. We will make every effort to accommodate your needs.

A member of our Human Resources team will provide you that information when they contact you.
