Tips before you apply

These tips can help improve the quality of your application and increase your chances of success.

Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks

The University has a small number of job roles that require engagement in what is known as a Regulated Activity, relating to working with children or vulnerable individuals. If you are applying for a post with the Coventry University Group that does require a DBS check it will be detailed in the advert and job description and will also be made clear during interview.
