Our spend on DBS checking across all checks was £42,000 for the year ending 2016. In addition to 320 DBS checks for new starters we also undertake approximately 450 DBS renewals per year as part of a three-year cyclical check for existing colleagues. ### As a minimum we are looking for • Full online DBS checking capability across the range of checks available for up to 10 colleagues to access and use • Speed of checking turnaround whilst ensuring accuracy and safeguarding • Evidence of efficient turnaround of applications and results (aside from the time checks take with the DBS public body). • Evidence of progression and chasing outstanding applications with the DBS body • Excellent proven candidate and client experience • Ensuring Midland Heart is aware of changing legislation / checking procedures • Provide robust challenge on the roles being requested for checking by Midland Heart colleagues • Ideas of how best to manage the cyclical renewals process ensuring resilience and lean processes • Excellent data management and DPA resilient online systems and processes for the client and supplier. • Excellent KPI and tracking data on checks undertaken and outstanding • Excellent management information reporting of key trends • Evidence of partnership working with clients • Ability to integrate with existing HR database (ResourceLink) and or third party recruitment software where possible • Capacity and capability to extend beyond just DBS checking into other areas of candidate checks such as identity, referencing and right to work.
