Safer Recruitment 

Solace UK is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the vulnerable individuals we support. We recognise that safer recruitment plays a vital role in protecting those who access our services and in maintaining a safe and supportive environment. 

Our recruitment and selection processes are designed to identify suitable individuals who share our values and commitment to safeguarding. All appointments are made following a fair, consistent, and transparent recruitment process that complies with relevant legislation and guidance. 

As part of our safer recruitment practices, all successful candidates are required to undergo pre-employment checks appropriate to the role. These include verification of identity, right to work in the UK, employment history, professional qualifications, references, and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks where applicable. 

We are committed to equality of opportunity and recruit based on merit, while recognising that certain roles are subject to lawful occupational requirements under the Equality Act 2010. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and assess any information relating to criminal convictions fairly, taking into account its relevance to the role and the safety of the vulnerable individuals we support.
