This role will involve contact with, and responsibility for, children and will amount to ‘regulated activity’.
The school is committed to safeguarding and protecting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The school may carry out online searches on shortlisted applicants. Appointments are also subject to satisfactory references/medical clearance/DBS and social media checks.
This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and a comprehensive screening process, including a Criminal Records Bureau Disclosure at Enhanced level, will be undertaken on all applicants. We welcome applications from all sections of the community, regardless of gender, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation or ag age. The school is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions on a self-declaration form in advance of attending an interview in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
