We aim to recruit the very best staff and welcome those from all backgrounds, communities and faiths (including non-faith individuals). Inspire Education Trust is clear about its responsibilities in embracing diversity and ensuring we recruit people of a high calibre based on their skills, abilities, and experience. As such, we welcome applications from a diverse range of candidates.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and appointments will be subject to rigorous safeguarding checks including enhanced DBS and references. The postholder must share our commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Candidates who have been successfully shortlisted will be asked to complete a self‑declaration to confirm any (non‑protected) criminal disclosures or information that would make them unsuitable to work with children.
The post is exempt from the rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975, 2013 and 2020. This means that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’, so they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. Further information about filtering offences can be found in the DBS filtering guide.
The role of Senior Cover Supervisor will be classed as regulated activity. Any offer of employment will be conditional until satisfactory completion of all mandatory pre‑employment checks. It is an offence to apply for this role if barred from engaging in regulating activity relevant to children.
Following recommendations from Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) for an additional pre‑employment check, with effect of 1st September 2022, please note an online search may form part of this recruitment process.
