Additional Essential Information

Are there any dates you will be unavailable for interview?

Do you have a legal right to work in the UK?

If yes, are there conditions attached – e.g. start or finish dates?

If no, what type of permit do you require?

RNC is committed to safeguarding and promotes the welfare of all learners and staff. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. If you are appointed you will be required to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check. You are required to declare any convictions (spent or unspent), cautions, warnings and bind-overs you may have, that are not protected regardless of how long ago they occurred, as well as any pending criminal proceedings or current police investigations. (Further information about filtering offences can be found in the DBS filtering guide - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dbs-filtering-guidance ). Having a criminal record will not necessarily prevent you from taking up appointment; this will depend on the nature of the offence(s) and their relevance for the post you are applying for. However, should you not declare any of the above and this is subsequently revealed, e.g. through the DBS check, then this may place your appointment may be at risk.

Do you have a criminal record?

In line with Keeping Children Safe in Education DfE (2022) guidance, candidates should note that RNC reserves the right to undertake online searches of prospective candidates as part of our due diligence on shortlisted individuals. Any information that arises from the online checks would form part of our recruitment and pre-employment checks.

Declaration

I declare that the information I am giving in this application is accurate and true. I understand that providing misleading or false information may disqualify me from appointment or may result in my dismissal, if the applicant has been appointed, and referral to the police and/or the DBS.
