Clearances
Pennsylvania Act 153, enacted in 2014, requires comprehensive background checks for individuals 14 years and older who interact with minors in both paid and volunteer roles, aiming to strengthen child protection within the state. As a result, employees will be required to undergo the following background checks. Â
SHIM partners with AssureHire to facilitate employee background checks for employees.
-
- Pennsylvania Criminal History Check through the Pennsylvania State Police (Act 34)
- Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Check through the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (Act 33)
- FBI Criminal History Check; this check requires the individual to submit their fingerprints to the FBI (Act 114)
- NSOR; This national search must be performed for any individual working for or as a regulated child care provider and any relative child care providers.
- Mandated Reporter Training; Act 31 of 2014 requires the health-related boards to complete 3 hours of approved training on child abuse recognition and reporting.
SHIM employees are motivated individuals who choose to better the lives of their neighbors. We welcome neighbors with diverse backgrounds, and strive to hire individuals committed to building a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
