Regulated Work with Children
This post is considered Regulated Work with Children under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. It is an offence to apply if you are barred from working with children. Successful candidates will require a PVG Scheme membership for Regulated Work with Children. You will be required to join the Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme Update check prior to commencing employment with Midlothian Council, the cost of which will be met by you. The fee for a Full PVG Scheme Membership is £59 and will be repaid to the Council by salary deduction over six consecutive pay periods. The fee for a PVG Scheme Record Update is £18 and will be repaid over two consecutive pay periods. If your employment concludes before the amount is repaid in full, the outstanding balance will be deducted from your final salary.
In your application we ask for information under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. You should disclose any unspent convictions. Disclosures should be made by writing to or emailing the Employment and Reward Manager, providing details of the offence(s), penalty and date(s) of conviction. Applicants should note that failure to disclose a conviction which is subsequently advised through a Disclosure Scotland check may result in the withdrawal of any offer of appointment.
Having a criminal record will not necessarily debar an applicant from working with Midlothian. Decisions regarding suitability for positions of trust subject to vetting will be dependent on the nature of the position, together with the circumstances and background of the offence(s).
