Staff Application

Start with the most recent first.

Include work / voluntary experience and also indicate any periods of unemployment / not in employment, with details (using the job title / dates section). Do not leave any unexplained gaps in your employment history.

Please provide details of your suitability for the position you are applying for. Please include details of relevant experience, skills or knowledge in support of your application. Be concise but make sure that you cover ALL the essential points of the person/employee specification.

NOTE: Your response to this section is extremely important and will be the basis of the Shortlisting Panel’s decision to invite you for interview. Please attach additional sheets if required.

PrimePlus is required under the Police Act 1997, the Protection of Children Act 1999 and the Criminal Justice & Court Services Act 2000 to check the criminal background of all employees. Decisions to appoint will be subject to consideration of an enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service. 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 about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice website. If you are shortlisted for interview you will be asked to complete a disclosure of convictions declaration.

This information is required, including that related to warnings regarded as “spent” in order to ensure safe recruitment and meet our obligations to safeguard children. However, you should be aware that any disciplinary history declared will not automatically prevent or inhibit appointment and will depend on the dates and circumstances related to the disciplinary action, outcomes and the type of post being applied for. Note that you are also required to include information if you were subject to a disciplinary process but resigned before it was completed.

The Equality Act 2010 states a person has a disability if they have a physical or mental impairment which has a long-term and substantial adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. We will consider reasonable adjustments to enable disabled applicants to have equal access to employment opportunities. We are committed to the development of positive practices to promote equality in employment. If you would like to declare your disability, please tick the appropriate box below.
