Professional References

Please provide full names and addresses of two professional emplyment referees covering between 5-10 years employment history and one character referee. Your first reference must be from your current or previous place of work and addressed to your line manager. Kare Plus cannot use friends or relatives for any employment references. Employment references cannot be sent to private or personal home addresses. You must provide workplace addresses and the referee must be a higher grade of staff than you yourself i.e. your line manager.

If this is going to cause a problem for you, we may have other options available. In certain circumstances we can accept a second character reference in lieu of a second professional reference. An example of when we would do this would if you've only worked for one company before, or you've recently moved here from abroad). Also, in cases where we are unable to obtain a reference from a previous employer (for example, if the company you prevously worked for is now defunct) we may ask for payslips from your previous place of employment - this will allow us to verify your claims.

If you believe it would be suitable to pursue either of these routes, email prestonrecruiting@kareplus.co.uk with all relevant information and answer N/A on any parts of the form you feel you are unable to fill in.
