Data Administrator - The Blandford School

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  Any offer of employment will be subject to receipt of a satisfactory DBS Enhanced Disclosure and acceptable references. All applications must be made either by completing the application form.  CV applications will not be considered. 

The Blandford School will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates. This check will be part of a safeguarding check, and the search will be based purely 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. 

This role is UK based and your Right to Work will need to be established as part of the appointment process

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974. The amendments to the ROA 1974 (Exceptions Order 1975, (2013 and 2020)) provide that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’, so they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. The MOJ’s guidance on the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the Exceptions Order 1975, provides information about which convictions must be declared during job applications and related exceptions and further information about filtering offences can be found in the DBS filtering guide.
