Health & social care

Reed Screening are experts in both the NHS Employment Check Standards and the Care Quality Commissions’ expectation of employment checks (including Disclosure and Barring Service checks). Working with NHS Trusts, private healthcare, and local authorities, we understand the importance of keeping organisations, service users, and the public safe. As such we have an array of sophisticated packages, catered to each workforce within health and social care to provide the employment checking safeguards required by the industry.

Reed Screening provides screening packages designed specifically for the needs of the health and social care industry, with packages pre-tailored to mitigate risk when hiring for popular roles such as support roles, qualified social care roles and clinical roles with professional registration. We cover everything from permanent hires and fixed term contractors, to temporary/agency supply chain.

We can assure you that all your workers are screened to the high standard you need to ensure that your organisation is operating safely, efficiently and with appropriately qualified, responsible, and reliable staff.
