Statement

Declarations

St Oswald's aims to promote equality of opportunity for all with the right mix of talent, skills, and potential and welcomes applications from diverse candidates. Criminal records will be taken into account for recruitment purposes only when the conviction is relevant. Having a conviction will not necessarily bar you from employment. This will depend on the circumstances and background to your offence(s). St Oswald's meets the requirements in respect of exempted questions under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 for many of the posts for which it recruits. Under the Act applicants who are offered employment will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check from the Disclosure & Barring Service before the appointment is confirmed. The check will include details of convictions(current or spent), cautions, reprimands, final warnings and any other information that might have a bearing on your suitability for the post. I understand that because of the sensitive nature of the duties of some posts successful candidates may be expected to undertake an enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service Check that will highlight details of any criminal convictions (current or spent), cautions, reprimands and final warnings and any other information that might have a bearing on my suitability for the post.

Should it transpire that any of the information you have provided is false, incorrect, or that any answer to a direct question is omitted, your employment may be terminated. Any offer of employment is made subject to references, Occupational Health clearance and where applicable an acceptable DBS Disclosure. The information you provide on this form will only be held in a manual system and used for the purposes of assessing your application for the post. Applications from unsuccessful candidates are held with us for one year.
