Teacher of English

SMART Schools Trust is legally obligated to process an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check before making appointments to relevant posts.

The DBS check will reveal both spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warnings, and any other information held by local police that is considered relevant to the role.

Any information that is "protected" under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 will not appear on a DBS certificate.

For posts in regulated activity, the DBS check will include a barred list check. It is an offence to seek employment in regulated activity if you are on a barred list.

We will also use the DBS check to ensure we comply with the Childcare Disqualification Regulations.

It is an offence to provide or manage childcare covered by these regulations if you are

disqualified.

Any data processed as part of the DBS check will be processed in accordance with data

protection regulations and the Trust's privacy notice.

If you have lived or worked outside the UK in the last five years, we may require additional information in order to comply with 'safer recruitment' requirements.

Any job offer will be conditional on the satisfactory completion of all necessary pre-employment checks.

All shortlisted candidates will be asked for a self-declaration of their criminal record or information that would make them unsuitable for the position. We will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates as part of our due diligence checks.

Any convictions that are self-disclosed or listed on a DBS check will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

The ability to teach English at A level would be an advantage and part-time applications would be welcome.

If you are passionate about high quality, evidence informed teaching and learning and want to join a school with exceptionally high aspirations and ambitions for staff and students, we welcome your application.
