IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS
ZSL recruitment policy is designed to ensure compliance with UK employment law and encourages staff to report any concerns related to the activities of the organisation or its supply chain. Our internal recruitment team manage all recruitment activities and/ or only use reputable employment agencies and job boards to source labour: both ZSL and its agencies carry out appropriate background checks.
Under the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006, we are required to check that anyone taking up employment with us has the legal right to work in the UK. All shortlisted candidates will therefore be asked to provide documentary proof of this during the interview process and we will be required to take a copy of the successful candidates’ documents before the work commences.
Please note, If you do not have the relevant right to work documents to be able to work in the UK, we would only be able to apply for a Certificate of Sponsorship from the UK Border Agency if we can show we have met the Resident Labour Market Test and you are able to meet the required points needed under the new points-based system.
For more information please visit the UK Border Agency website: www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk
