Reference and Criminal Record Checking

Reference Checking

We are required, by the Civil Aviation Authority, to obtain references of your whereabouts during the past 5 years, in order for a security pass to be issued. As part of any application, a five year reference history will be required for all successful applicants.

All offers are dependent on reference checks being successfully completed. Obtaining references can sometimes be a lengthy process and therefore, where possible, all applicants are asked to assist in following up reference requests. It is company policy not to apply for references until an offer of employment has been made.

Criminal Record Check

We are required by the Civil Aviation Authority to ensure that all Restricted Zone pass holders undergo a Criminal Record Check (Basic Disclosure).

A Criminal Record Check details any convictions a person has that are considered to be unspent. Further details of disqualifying criteria and spent convictions will be provided to applicants at the relevant recruitment stage.

If the Criminal Record Check is returned containing a conviction that is listed within the disqualifying criteria then any offer of employment with Liverpool John Lennon Airport may be withdrawn.
