Eligibility criteria

We make sure that we are always open to applications from people of all different backgrounds, cultures, religions, ages, gender and sexual orientation. However, there are some eligibility conditions involved in applying, so you need to check that you meet our requirements before submitting an application.

Offensive and particularly prominent tattoos are not acceptable.

If you have a criminal record, this doesn’t mean you’re automatically ineligible; it depends on the nature of your conviction. So remember to declare any caution or conviction on your application form. If you have any questions on this, you can contact our recruitment team for advice.

Similarly, if you are struggling with debt, you may still be able to apply. You just need to supply us with evidence of your ability to manage your debts successfully. However, if you have any outstanding county court judgments or you are an undischarged bankrupt, then you are automatically ineligible.
