Section 3 – Previous Employment
Please include all full time and part time positions. Please list the most recent first.
Section 4 - Breaks in Employment
If you have had any breaks in employment since leaving school, give details of these periods and your activities during these times e.g. unemployment, career break, voluntary work, training.
Section 14 – Declarations
Please read the following statements and information relating to your application carefully. By submitting this form and clicking on the box below you are certifying that the information you have supplied is accurate and confirming that the declarations are true to the best of your knowledge. Any false information will result in the withdrawal of any offer of employment or, in the event of employment, in disciplinary investigation by the school which may result in dismissal.
Disclosure of Criminal Convictions:
Preferred candidates will be asked to complete a Self-Disclosure Form (SD2) to disclose whether they have:
• any unspent conditional cautions or convictions under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974; or
• any adult cautions (simple or conditional) or spent convictions that are not protected as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2020.
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 and cautions 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 notes are available to accompany the SD2 form to assist candidates with information which must be disclosed. Any information disclosed will be treated in the strictest confidence.
Where appropriate for the role, a disclosure/status check will be sought from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) in the event of a successful application. A person’s criminal record will not in itself be a bar to obtaining employment, save in the case of management positions where a S128 Direction issued by the Secretary of State will prohibit employment.
Safer Recruitment and Childcare Disqualification Checks
Preferred candidates applying for a relevant post in a school setting covered by the Childcare (Disqualification) Regulations 2018 (“the Regulations”) will be asked to complete a Disqualification Declaration Form.
A disqualified person may only be employed in a relevant post if they obtain a waiver from Ofsted. A copy of the Disqualification Declaration Form is available from the school office if you wish to review this Form prior to submitting your application.
