What employers in this sector check
| What they check | Which jobs | What to write |
|---|---|---|
| SIA licence | Security officers | Many security guard jobs need a front line Security Industry Authority licence, after an approved qualification (National Careers Service). Give the licence type and its expiry date. |
| Background checks | All three jobs | The National Careers Service lists enhanced background checks for all three jobs; hospitals, schools and care settings ask cleaners for them too. If your DBS certificate is on the Update Service, say so. |
| Age and fitness | Police and security | You need to be over 18, and police officers also pass a fitness test (National Careers Service). |
| Reliability | Cleaners | There are no set entry requirements; you need to show you are reliable (National Careers Service). Attendance and keyholding are your best evidence. |
| Routes in | Police constables | The Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship, the Police Constable Entry Programme, the Degree Holder Entry Programme or a Professional Policing degree, and each force runs its own recruitment (National Careers Service). |
