In the event of a successful application, candidates will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including reference checks with past employers, an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check (including children’s barred list information) and prohibition checks. No member of staff will be able to start until these checks are complete, and this process takes, on average, a month. Please plan accordingly.
