Do I need to have a Police Check to apply to a job? |
Certain jobs at the County of Lambton do require a valid Criminal Record Check and may require a Vulnerable Sector Check, however, you do not need to submit a Police Check to apply to a job. If the job requires a Police Check, this will be asked of you later in the hiring process. |
If I have a criminal record, does this mean that I won't be considered? |
We ask this question as one of our pre-screening questions when you apply to a job. Please answer this question honestly. If a criminal record exists it does not automatically exclude your application. All applications are reviewed by the hiring team. |
Will answering No to the pre-screening questions exclude my application? |
Typically no. The pre-screening questions are an initial screening of the job applications, however they do not typically exclude your application from being considered. All job applications are reviewed by the hiring team. A case where an application may not be able to be considered when pre-screening questions are answered with a No, is when the question is asking for a bona fide occupational requirement, meaning the skill/qualification is mandatory for the position and those without it cannot be hired. |
Who do I address my cover letter to? |
We recommend addressing your cover letter to the hiring team, including the department of the position you are applying for. For example: Hiring Team, Public Health Services. |
