Here’s what you’ll need to upload to the app to register for NHS shifts
DBS (England): We need a picture of your enhanced DBS certificate. If it’s more than one year old, we’ll also need your DBS Update Service ID.
If your certificate is over a year old and you’re not registered with the update service, read about how you can get registered and get a new certificate here. You'll need to pay for your renewal, but after you complete your first shift, we'll reimburse you.
PVG (Scotland): We need a picture of your PVG certificate.
We'll reimburse the cost of renewing your DBS, PVG or AccessNI certificate after your police checks have cleared and you've worked your first shift.
We need to collect a minimum of two professional references covering the past three years of work. These must come from a professional email address.
Multiple references that cover the 3 consecutive years are also welcomed.
If you are from outside the UK, references must be on company letter headed paper and should be attached to an email from a professional address.
