Working for Us
We believe work should be enjoyable, challenging and rewarding and we work hard to create an environment in which you are supported to achieve your potential.
Employment information and job opportunities
We are committed to providing quality public services that provide value for money for our residents.
We believe that the recruitment and retention of high-quality staff is vital to our success and so we take care of our staff offering a range of flexible and family friendly working arrangements and a package of employee benefits.
We aim to create a positive working environment enabling our employees to work to their full potential and achieve a healthy work/ life balance.
Criminal Records Checks (DBS check)
There are a number of posts which may involve contact with children, young adults or vulnerable adults. These posts require a criminal records check, either Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) previously known as CRB, or Basic Scottish Disclosure. Our HR Team will make this clear in relevant job adverts.
Positive disclosure
A disclosure certificate will usually only provide the basic facts such as the name and date of the offence(s) and, if applicable, details of any sentences(s). It will not put them into context.
ELDC is committed to equality of opportunity for all job applicants and aims to select people for employment on the basis of their individual skills, abilities, experience, knowledge and, where appropriate, qualifications and training.
We will therefore consider ex-offenders for employment on their individual merits. The organisation's approach towards employing ex-offenders differs, however, depending on whether the job is or is not exempt from the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. ELDC will not automatically refuse to employ a particular individual solely because he/she has a previous criminal conviction.
