Non-Teaching Post - Job Application Form
St Piran's School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All successful applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening including checks with current and/or previous employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service
If you are short-listed for interview you will be required to complete a self-declaration of your criminal record or information that would make you unsuitable for working with children.
Please note that it is an offence under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 to apply for the role if you are barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children.
All roles at St Piran's constitute regulated activity and all posts are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

your interest in joining the team at St Piran’s. In order to
assist both you and us in the recruitment process please ensure that you read

section of it.

If you are not currently employed, please give details of your most recent appointment.
Previous Employment
Please supply a full
history in chronological order (with start and end dates - Month and Year) of all employment, self-employment and any periods of
unemployment since leaving full time education.
You must provide, where
appropriate, explanations for any periods not in employment, self-employment or

Please list below, in the relevant sections, all the

Please explain, drawing upon your skills, abilities, experience and knowledge, how you fulfil the requirements set out in the job description. Please demonstrate, using examples, your suitability for the position and what personal qualities you will bring to the School.
Referees
Please provide the names and contact details of at least two referees who can comment on your suitability for the role. One of these must be your current or most recent employer.
Note: if you are not currently working with children but have done so in the past, the second referee must be the employer by whom you were most recently employed in work with children.
These referees will be contacted if you are short-listed for the post, and we would seek a reference before interview.
Safeguarding
If you are appointed, you will be required to undertake an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
Having a criminal record will not necessarily prevent you from taking up appointment; it will depend on the nature of the offences and their relevance to the post you are applying for. However, should you NOT declare an unprotected offence that is subsequently revealed, e.g. through the DBS check, then this may place your appointment in jeopardy, or once employed, may lead to your summary dismissal.
