Please Note

If your application is successful, prior to taking up your post, you will be required to undergo a background check. This will require you to complete a separate application form and to provide more than one piece of documentary evidence of your identity.
Although a criminal record involving offences against children is likely to debar you from appointment of this type of post, the existence of other criminal convictions will not necessarily be a bar to employment.
Any criminal record information arising out of the background check process will be discussed with you before any final decision is made about your employment.

Only complete applications, including all the documents listed above, will be considered. It should be understood that nothing in this form constitutes a contract.
