As part of your application you'll need to complete an online assessment. It will take you around 12 minutes to complete this test.
If you're successful in your application, we'll perform some background checks as part of our pre-employment screening process. These will include a DBS (disclosure and barring service) and adverse media checks, and an occupational health questionnaire (to ensure you are fit to perform the role). We'll also seek regulatory references and check your social media activity on platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
In this role you'll work under FCA regulation - we'll provide you with all the training you need to become a 'certified colleague'.
To make sure you're eligible to advise clients on 'pre-need' funeral plans as a 'certified colleague', we'll perform FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) and financial integrity checks. These aim to identify financial sanctions such as CCJs (county court judgements) or bankruptcy. Your credit score will not be checked as part of this process.
Any offer of employment made will be conditional upon the completion of pre-employment screening checks.
