We welcome applications from people with disabilities and guarantee an interview for those with a declared disability should they meet the minimum criteria for the job.

The Aspirations Academies Trust (AAT) requires all prospective employees appointed to work in its academies and/or whose role will involve the undertaking of regulated activity to submit an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate prior to taking up appointment. Applicants are required, before appointment, to disclose any convictions, cautions, reprimands or final warnings that are not “protected” as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2013 by SI 2013 1198). Disclosure of a criminal background does not automatically debar individuals from employment – consideration will be given to relevant factors, including the nature of the offence(s) and when they occurred.
