Applications must be an honest and accurate reflection of your own experience, skills, values, and suitability to work with children and young people.
Our recruitment processes are designed to assess personal suitability, integrity, and safeguarding understanding. Any inconsistencies between application information, references, and interview responses may be explored further. Providing misleading or misrepresented information may result in an application being withdrawn or an offer of employment being rescinded.
