Thank you for taking an interest in St Mary’s Calne.  We are an equal opportunities employer and committed to ensuring all applicants will be treated in a fair and equal manner and in accordance with the law regardless of gender, marital status, race, religion, colour, age, disability or sexual orientation.

Research tells us that applicants (especially those from under-represented groups) can be put off from applying for a role if they do not meet all the criteria. If you think you would be a good match for one of our vacancies and can demonstrate some transferable experience please apply, regardless of whether you tick every box.

Any offer of employment is conditional upon receiving an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) which is considered to be satisfactory.  The School applies for an Enhanced Check for Regulated Activity from the DBS (which includes a check of the Children's Barred List) in respect of all positions sitewide, which amount to regulated activity.  It is unlawful for the School to employ anyone who is barred from working with children.  It is a criminal offence for any person who is barred from working with children to attempt to apply for a position at the School.  If you are successful in your application you will be required to complete a DBS Disclosure Application Form.  Any information disclosed will be handled in accordance with any guidance and / or code of practice published by the DBS.

The School is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore all convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warnings (including those which would normally be considered "spent" under the Act) must be declared.  You are not required 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 have a criminal record this will not automatically debar you from employment.  Instead, each case will be assessed fairly by reference to the School's objective assessment procedure set out in the Recruitment Policy.
