Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  Rigorous checks will be made of the successful applicant’s background credentials, including Disclosure and Barring Service checks along with other relevant employment checks.

 

The school will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates. This will be part of a safeguarding check, and the search will purely be based on whether an individual is suitable to work with children. All aspects of social media and internet searches will be conducted. 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 searches and will only share information if and when findings are relevant and of concern.

 

St. Joseph’s School is committed to equal opportunities.

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