Working in the healthcare industry means you are in contact with vulnerable patients, children, pharmaceutical drugs, drug-related equipment, confidential information, and other areas of sensitivity. Assure the interviewer that you are able and willing to pass a complete background check and drug test. If you have a criminal record or substance abuse problem, you must disclose this during your interview, as it will be exposed during your background check and drug test.

"I have a clean criminal record and am happy to comply with any background check you require of me. I also have no issue with taking a drug test as I never have and never will use drugs."

"No problem. I understand that it's part of the job. But I want to be up-front, I have done a full background check before, and there is a possibility you will see a charge for possession of marijuana in the check. It was several years ago, and it's no longer an issue for me because I've made significant changes in my life to pursue this career. But I don't want you to be surprised by the information. I'm happy to answer any questions you have and can assure you my drug test will be clean."

You cannot get hired by Imperial College Healthcare if you will not pass the background check or drug test. If you do not have a criminal background or use drugs, assure the interviewer you will not have an issue with either. If you have something that will appear in your background or drug test, you may want to reconsider applying to Imperial College Healthcare.
