As part of any recruitment process, Motherwell Care Ltd collects and processes personal data relating to job applicants. The Organisation is committed to being transparent about how it collects and uses that data and to meeting its data protection obligations.

 

What information does the organisation collect?

 

Motherwell Care Ltd collects a range of information about you. This includes:

 

• your name, address and contact details, including email address and telephone number;

• details of your qualifications, skills, experience and employment history;

• information about your current level of remuneration, including benefit entitlements;

• whether or not you have a disability for which the organisation needs to make reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process; and

Motherwell Care Ltd may collect this information in a variety of ways. For example, data might be contained in application forms, CVs or resumes, obtained from your passport or other identity documents, or collected through interviews or other forms of assessment.

 

Motherwell Care Ltd may also collect personal data about you from third parties, such as references supplied by former employers, information from employment background check providers and information from criminal records checks.  This will only occur if you are made a conditional offer of employment.
