Five year Checkable History?

This is a Department for Transport mandate.This means that you must provide evidence of your whereabouts over the past five years. This will include all jobs, education, and/or training.

What if I’ve been out of work?

You should ask your local Job Centre Plus to provide a letter to state the dates of your unemployment. If you were unemployed due to an illness or injury, you should also provide evidence of this either via a Job Centre Plus letter or a Doctors letter.

What if I have a Criminal Conviction?

If your job is classed as 'Airside' that is anything past Security you will be asked to provide a current Standard Criminal Record Bureau Check.Your CRB will show up any ‘unspent’ convictions. You will not be offered an 'airside' based job if you have any 'unspent' convictions. This is a Department for Transport Regulation.

How will I know if my convictions are spent?

To Ascertain whether your conviction is spent will depend on the type of sentence you were given, not on the offence. To check whether your conviction is spent or unspent you can either check with The Home Office or for online information see: www.crb.gov.uk/default.aspx

Where can I get help in filling my application form?

Speak to Job Centre Plus about this. If you have been out of work for six months or more you can be referred to a training provider who will assist you with things like application form filling and interview techniques.

I’ve been working for recruitment agencies how do I get references?

It is sometimes harder to gain references from agencies, however you only need a reference to say that you were working for them from date A to date B. Which should be easily found within their own data.

Will I be expected to find my own references?

It is normal for the candidate to source their own references. However you may be able to gain assistance from a training provider if you are long term unemployed.
