Application

The hours above are the standard shift hours.

All carers are expected to work a minimum of alternate weekends

As a general rule, no-one need answer questions about spent convictions. However this general rule does not apply to specified professions, employments and occupations. By virtue of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) (Amendment) Orders, the exemption rule does not apply to:

a) any employment or other work which is concerned with the provision of health services and which is of such a kind as to enable the holder of that employment or the person engaged in that work to have access to persons in receipt of such services in the course of his normal duties, or

b) any employment or other work which is concerned with the provision of care services to vulnerable adults and which is of such a kind as to enable the holder of that employment or the person engaged in that work to have access to vulnerable adults in receipt of such services in the course of his normal duties

One or both of the above apply to work at the Home, and covers all occupations.

You are therefore requested to provide details of all convictions, including those which would otherwise be considered as “spent”. All employment applications will be considered carefully, and the disclosure of a conviction does not imply that this employment application will be rejected.

Records will be checked via the Criminal Records Bureau procedures

Criminal Records – Disclosure Certificate

The Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) have issued a Code of Practice regarding Disclosure Information, a copy of which is available upon request. A Disclosure Certificate (standard or enhanced) will be requested from the CRB which will detail all convictions, including those which would otherwise be “spent”, as well as details of cautions, reprimands or final warnings. You will be advised of the type of certificate being requested, and asked to give your approval to this application. The Disclosure Certificate will only be requested in the event that you are successful in your application for employment.

Under the Act a person commits an offence if he employs another (“the employee”) knowing that the employee is an adult subject to immigration control and that –

(a) he has not been granted leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, or
(b) his leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom—
(i) is invalid,
(ii) has ceased to have effect (whether by reason of curtailment, revocation, cancellation, passage of time or otherwise), or
(iii) is subject to a condition preventing him from accepting the employment.

Any employment offered will be subject to the successful applicant producing appropriate evidence that the Act is not being contravened.

Give details of any additional information which you would like to include in support of your application. Such information, for example, may include skills and/or achievements which you think may be of interest, and/or a summary of why you believe that you have the qualities we are looking for. Please provide details of any relatives employed by the Company and their relationship to you.

References are normally taken up for candidates selected for interview. Give details of the names/addresses of two work-related Referees. One of the Referees should be your current employer, or if presently unemployed or self-employed, your last employer
