After the interview
When the panel members have decided who to offer the job to, all their notes, the application forms, any references we have received and the list of standard questions they have asked will be sent to Human Resources.
No offer of appointment will be made until the officers in this section have been satisfied that the best person for the job, in accordance with the pre-determined person specification, is the one who is being recommended for appointment.
Recruitment checks
Recruitment checks are an essential part of your offer as we cannot welcome you on board until all the necessary checks have been completed.
Eligibility to work in the UK
It is a legal requirement for all candidates to produce original documentation to prove they are eligible to work in the UK. Further details will be provided in your new starter pack
New starter heath screening
As part of our commitment to our employees, we strive to ensure the job you have been offered does not pose any risk to your health.
As part of the pre-employment checks, you will be asked to complete either a new starter health declaration form or a new starter health questionnaire depending on the job role you have been offered. The information you provide will be treated confidentially and will be used to assess whether you would require any adjustments in order to feel at ease in the workplace where you can perform to optimum capacity in your role.
The form is issued as part of the conditional offer of employment; therefore, it is important to return the completed document as quickly as possible to prevent any delays in the recruitment process.
References
If you are offered a job with us, then congratulations! Now references will be sought from the referees stated on your application form as part of the recruitment process.
To speed up the process so that you can start your new job as soon as possible, you should:
- Ensure that referees on your application form are accurate and up to date. These details must include a telephone number and email address
- Contact your referees to ask them to complete and return the reference as quickly as possible
Acceptable references
- We require at least two references which should ideally relate to your employment history, and they should be from your line manager. One reference should be from your current or most recent employer
- For work-based referees, please provide business addresses and not personal contact details
- Character references are accepted if an employment reference is not available, for example if you are leaving school or university. Please provide details of a teacher or tutor

References can really delay the recruitment process, so applicants need to assist to make sure the process runs smoothly. The quicker the references are received, the quicker we can welcome you to Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council.
