Commitment to safeguarding: The school is committed to ensuring the highest levels of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our students, and they expect all staff to share this commitment. They adopt a fair, robust and consistent recruitment process which is in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education. This includes online checks for shortlisted candidates. All offers of employment will be conditional on a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check, references, health check and, where applicable, a prohibition from teaching check.
The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) provides that when applying for certain jobs and activities certain convictions are considered “protected”. This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers and, if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice Website and on the websites of charities NACRO and UNLOCK.
Commitment to equality and diversity: As a school they are passionate about diversity and recognise that as individuals we all bring something unique to the role regardless of any protected characteristics which is why they treat all their people equally, without compromise. The school is committed to providing equality and fairness throughout the recruitment and employment practices and not discriminating on any grounds.
Closing date for applications is 9am on Friday 7th January, 9am.
They encourage applicants to apply early as they reserve the right to close applications on an earlier date should there be a high number of candidates.
