This application form can be submitted either online or posted (if you have a disability and you wish to receive this form or submit it in another format, please contact Personnel on 01539 814742 or via email to personnel.kendal.ac.uk). Please note that incomplete applications will not be considered.

To enable those shortlisting to do so without regard to gender, age, ethnic, disability or other equal opportunity considerations, we ask you to complete personal details, these will be detached from the application and not seen by the shortlisting panel. This organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. As part of our safer recruitment procedures, all applicants will be subject to rigorous vetting, including an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references. Any offer of employment will be conditional upon these checks being completed. We uphold the principles of KCSIE and operate in accordance with its guidance to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all children in our care.

All applicants are required to provide references that cover at least the last five years of employment. Your most recent employer must be listed as a referee. If additional references are needed to meet this requirement, please provide their details in the 'Reference Two' section of this form.

You are required to disclose all criminal convictions including any which may be ‘spent’ under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. This is because the post you are applying for is covered by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exemptions) Order 1975 or 1986 and therefore even ‘spent’ convictions must be disclosed.

Any information you provide will be treated as strictly confidential. Disclosure of a criminal record does not automatically debar you from appointment but allows the College to make a decision about suitability, taking into account only those offences which are relevant to the particular post you have applied for.

Successful candidates will be required to complete a disclosure which will enable the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) formerly known as the CRB to carry out necessary checks with the Independent Safeguarding Authority and the Police. Failure to disclose convictions could result in the withdrawal of a job offer or disciplinary action.

It is an offence to apply for a role if the applicant is barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children.
