Florida Clearinghouse

Background Screening Requirement

Certain positions with our organization require a Level 2 background screening as part of the hiring process, in accordance with Florida law.


What Is the Florida Clearinghouse?

The Florida Care Provider Background Screening Clearinghouse is a statewide system used to complete and manage background screening for individuals who work with children, seniors, or other vulnerable populations.

The system is managed by the State of Florida and is used by multiple agencies to ensure consistent screening standards.


Why Background Screening Is Required

Background screening is required to:

  • Protect the safety of vulnerable individuals
  • Ensure employees meet eligibility standards
  • Support consistent screening across state agencies

What Applicants Should Expect

If the position you are applying for requires background screening:

  • You will be required to complete Level 2 background screening
  • Screening is completed through the Florida Clearinghouse system
  • Employment is contingent upon maintaining an eligible screening status

Eligibility may change over time, and continued eligibility is required for employment.
