Care Worker Application Form

Five short steps, about ten minutes in all. You can move between sections at any time with the steps above; anything still to answer is marked in red, and everything is checked before you submit. Your answers are kept on this device if you need to come back and finish later. Please complete the form yourself.

About you

Your personal and contact details. We use these to get in touch and, if you join us, to set up your employment record.

Please note: completing this form is an application, not an offer of employment. We use it to shortlist candidates and to check that everything we need is in place before interview: two checkable references and your right to work in the UK. Every answer is verified.
Needed so your references and DBS check match your records.
Some clients ask for a male or female care worker for personal care, so this helps us match visits. You can leave it blank or choose “Prefer not to say”.
We do not ask for your date of birth or National Insurance number here. We take those, with your ID and right to work documents, only if we offer you a job.
Not essential: many visits are reachable on foot or by bus.

The role

Tell us which role you are interested in, your experience of care, and how you found us.

If you are new to care, tell us about any experience of looking after people, or of customer-facing work.

If you have a CV or any training certificates to hand, attach them here. PDF, JPEG or PNG, up to 4 MB each. If your CV is a Word document, use File › Save as PDF first.

    Where and when you can work

    It is really important that we know when and where you are available, so please make sure this section is accurate.

    Tick every borough you can travel to.

    References

    Safer recruitment means we take up references before anyone starts, and we need two employer references. Reference 1 must be your current or most recent employer, and Reference 2 the employer before that. If you only have one recent employer, tick the box under Reference 2 and we will ask about a tutor or professional referee instead. Please do not give friends, relatives or colleagues who were not senior to you. We will not contact anyone until after your phone chat.

    Leave blank if you still work there.
    Leave blank if you still work there.

    Your date of birth and National Insurance number from step 1 are shared with your referees so they can find your record, and with no one else.

    Typing your name here acts as your signature.

    Declaration

    Care workers support vulnerable people, and we take our responsibility to protect them seriously. Your appointment depends on a satisfactory enhanced DBS check with a check of the barred lists.

    We do not ask about criminal records on this form. If we offer you a job, we will ask you privately, on a separate form, before your enhanced DBS check. A criminal record will not necessarily stop us employing you. Please do not include any details of convictions, cautions or police matters anywhere in this application.

    As an organisation using criminal record checks processed through the Disclosure and Barring Service, we comply with the DBS Code of Practice and treat every applicant fairly. We only ask about convictions and cautions we are legally entitled to know about, only once we have made a conditional offer, and we do not discriminate unfairly on the basis of a conviction or other information revealed.

    If yes, there is no need to explain here. We will talk it through with you in private.

    Please read these statements carefully. If there is anything you do not understand, ask us before you submit.

    • This form is an application only, not an offer of employment. It is used to shortlist candidates and to confirm that the information needed for a care role is in place: checkable references and the right to work in the UK.
    • Marigold Home Care Ltd will make checks to verify the information I have provided, including references, right to work, qualifications and an enhanced DBS check with barred list check.
    • Providing misleading or false information, or leaving something out, may disqualify me from appointment or, if I have already been appointed, may result in my dismissal.
    • Any offer of employment depends on satisfactory references, documentation and the completion of pre-employment checks, and I will be required to complete the company’s induction training before I start work with clients.
    • My personal information will be handled in line with UK data protection law, used only to decide whether I am suitable for the role, and, if my application is unsuccessful, kept only for as long as the company’s recruitment retention policy requires.
    Typing your name here acts as your signature.

    What happens after you submit?
    Our recruitment team reviews your application within two working days. If it is a match, we invite you to a phone chat first, no assessment centres, no group interviews. Your ID, right to work and DBS documents come after that chat, not before.
