We collect the following personal information - your name, telephone number, address, email address and bank account details, and any other details required by law. The personal data you provide in your application and as part of the recruitment process will only be held and processed for the purpose of selection processes and in connection with any subsequent employment or placement, unless otherwise indicated. Your data will be retained only for as long as is permitted by UK legislation and then destroyed.

We are collecting this information to enable us to enter into a contract of employment with you. If you are unable to provide this information then we will be unable to enter into that contract.

Sharing data

We will not share your data with third parties without your consent, except as you might reasonably expect (e.g. if you book a service through us which involves a third-party supplier and data sharing is required), or as required by law.
