EEO Statement
We hire the best talent and value a diverse, inclusive team; therefore we are dedicated to ensuring our application process is accessible to everyone and are happy to provide helpful adjustments to make it easier to complete. However, the safety of the guests on our centres is our top priority: all centre‑based employees and some specific Head Office employees must undergo an enhanced criminal record check (DBS or PVG). We pay for the check and require a 5‑year address history and ID (such as passport/birth certificate). Convictions related to violence, drugs, or safeguarding may affect your application. Not all convictions will disqualify you, as we assess each case individually.
