Full pre-employment checks are not required for an internal candidate. The table below explains what is required and applies to all internal candidates whether they are moving into a permanent role or a secondment:
| Right to Work (RTW) | Not required |
| Identity (ID) | Not required |
| References | Not required |
| Qualifications | If essential for the role |
| Alert Notice | Not required |
| Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) | If required |
| Occupational Health (OH) | Not required |
| Professional Registration | If essential for the role |
Disclosure and Barring Service checks
If a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is required for the role, the Recruitment team will review the candidate's Electronic Staff Record (ESR) for a previous DBS check. If a DBS check was completed within the last three years, and it is at the same level required for their new role, a new DBS will not be required.
If the DBS check is at a different level to the one previously completed or they do not have a DBS on file, a new DBS will be required and the candidate will need to provide ID documents to enable the check to be progressed.
Internal Recruitment Form
If the candidate has been successful as part of a recruitment campaign, an Internal Recruitment Form (IRF) will be produced and passed to Payroll to enable ESR to be updated with their new assignment details.
An Employee Change Form (ECF) is not required to be uploaded to the Document Transfer Service (DTS).
