Whilst this job description gives a reasonable overview of the post, it is not exhaustive and the post holder will be expected to behave in a flexible manner and take on any other duties that may reasonably be delegated from time to time.
Caretech will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates. This check will be part of a safeguarding check, and the search will purely be based on whether an individual is suitable to work with children. As care must be taken to avoid unconscious bias and any risk of discrimination, a person who will not be on the appointment panel will conduct the search and will only share information if and when findings are relevant and of concern.
