References

Please provide details of three referees who we may contact for references. One of these must be your current or most recent employer.

In accordance with statutory safeguarding guidance (Keeping Children Safe in Education, 2021), the College intends to take up references on all shortlisted candidates before interview. Should you prefer that the College do not approach your current employer until an offer of employment has been made, you must inform a member of the HR team as soon as possible via humanresources@wellingtoncollege.org.uk If you are subsequently shortlisted for interview, we will contact you to discuss this further.

If you are not currently working with children but have done so in the past in either a paid or voluntary capacity, at least one referee must have known you in your most recent role working with children.

If the College receives a factual reference, i.e., one which only contains limited information about you, additional references may be sought.

References will not be accepted from relatives or from people writing solely in their capacity as a friend. The College reserves the right to take up references from any previous employer.

If you have previously worked overseas, the College may take up references from your overseas employers.

The College will also telephone your references in order to verify the reference they have provided.

Recruitment and use of Information

It is the College’s policy to employ the best qualified personnel and to provide equal opportunity for the advancement of employees including promotion and training and not to discriminate against any person because of, and including, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or religious belief, sex, sexual orientation, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy and maternity, gender reassignment, disability or age. All new appointments are subject to a probationary period.

The College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

A copy of the College’s Recruitment, Selection and Disclosure policy (which includes the College’s policy on recruitment of ex-offenders, is available to download from the College’s website. Please take the time to read them.

If your application is successful, the College will retain the information provided in this form (together with any attachments) on your personnel file for the duration of your employment. If your application is unsuccessful, all documentation relating to your application will normally be confidentially destroyed six months after the date on which you are notified of the outcome.

Disclosure and Barring Service checks, criminal record and Children’s Barred list

Please be aware that the College applies for an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) for all positions at the College which amount to regulated activity. For the avoidance of doubt, all employed roles at the College are deemed to meet the legal definition of regulated activity with children unless advised otherwise. If you are successful in your application you will be required to complete a DBS Disclosure Application Form. Employment with the College is conditional upon the College being satisfied with the result of the Enhanced DBS Disclosure. Any criminal records information that is disclosed to the College will be handled in accordance with any guidance and / or code of practice published by the DBS.

The College will also carry out a check of the Children's Barred List. Please be aware that it is unlawful for the College to employ anyone to work with children if they are barred from doing so, and it is a criminal offence for a person to apply to work with children if they are barred from doing so. The declaration at Section 13 of this Form therefore asks you to confirm whether you are barred from working with children.

The role you are applying for at the College is also exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the College is therefore permitted to ask you to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which would normally be considered "spent") in order to assess your suitability to work with children. In this form you will be required to provide details of all spent and unspent convictions and cautions. However, you will not have to disclose a caution or conviction for an offence committed in the United Kingdom if it has been filtered in accordance with the DBS filtering rules.

If you are successful in being shortlisted for this role, you will be required to provide information about your suitability to work with children by completing a self-declaration form

Having a criminal record will not necessarily prevent you from taking up employment with the College. Instead, the College will assess each case on its merits and with reference to the College's objective assessment criteria set out in the College's 'Recruitment, Selection and Disclosure Policy and Procedure'.

Equal Opportunities

The College is an equal opportunities employer and aims to ensure people are recruited, selected, trained and promoted based on job requirements, skills, abilities and other objective criteria.

The College will ensure that no job applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of any protected characteristic or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be justified as being necessary for the safe performance of the job.

Wellington College uses the DBS Disclosure service to assess applicants’ suitability for positions of trust. The College complies fully with the DBS Code of Practice and undertakes to treat all applicants fairly. The College undertakes not to discriminate unfairly against any subject of a Disclosure based on conviction or any other information revealed. The College considers it essential that the confidential and personal information contained in the Disclosure issued from the DBS is used fairly and sensibly to avoid unfair discrimination of applicants for appointments at the College.

The DBS code of practice can be found at www.gov.uk/government/organisations/disclosure-and-barring-service.

As a responsible employer, we have a duty to prevent illegal working in the UK by carrying out document checks on all applicants before employing them to confirm they have a right to work here. If your application is successful, we will ask you to bring along to your interview original copies of your passport, relevant unexpired work visa or immigration approval. Please note that if you require immigration approval or a specific working visa to work in the UK, any offer of employment made will be conditional on the necessary approvals being obtained.
