Information requested from you as a candidate
People should be vigilant about contact from any individual or organisation claiming to be working on behalf of Waltham Forest Council, which asks for in-depth personal information or bank account and credit card details.
As an applicant for jobs within Waltham Forest, please be assured that your personal information is held securely and only used for the purposes of your application. Your information on the application will only be shared with officers directly involved in your recruitment.
At no stage of the application and interview stages of the recruitment process will it be necessary for you to provide any bank details.
If you are invited to attend an interview you will be asked to bring with you, your qualification certificates, proof of address and National insurance number.
If you are successful and have been issued with an offer of employment, you will then be asked to submit personal information to assist with pre-employment checks such as medical and meeting asylum and immigration regulations.
Only when you have been issued with a full contract of employment will it be necessary for us to ask for your personal bank details and this will be to pay your monthly salary.
There is no other reason why we would need your bank details.
