Eligibility to work in the UK

Rehabilitation of offender’s act 1974 (Exceptions order 1975)

Because the work for which you are applying involves working with children, we are obliged to ask you, in connection with your application, to disclose any convictions you may have. Under the conditions of the above order, you are not entitled to withhold information about convictions which otherwise might be considered spent. A prior criminal conviction may not prevent you from working with our company but failure to disclose relevant convictions in full will result in immediate suspension pending investigation.

Please list below any convictions you may have. This information will be treated as strictly confidential, but you should be aware that any offer of employment made will be subjected to a satisfactory Enhanced DBS. Please see documents required at the end of this application form.

Declarations

Disclosure & Barring Service

I agree to complete a disclosure application form to enable an Enhanced DBS to be undertaken for the fee of £51.50. I accept that this will be deducted from my first months’ pay packet. I also agree to register on the DBS Updating Service for a yearly fee of £13 which must be applied for within 28 days of my DBS being completed. I am happy to agree that CF Support Services are able to use the DBS update service to check and verify my DBS online.

Driving License Verification Checks

I understand that under current legislation (Section 87(2) Road Traffic Act 1988) and guidelines by the Health & Safety Executive, CFSS have an obligation to ensure that only holders of valid driving licences drive vehicles on their behalf.

I agree for CFSS to complete DVLA checks via the Licence Bureau as part of their recruitment process should an offer of employment be made. I agree that my licence will be checked yearly by CFSS. I understand that information held by Licence Bureau sourced from the DVLA will be held on secure systems at their office in Hemel Hempstead. No medical records are released by the DVLA, only driving records.

Data Sharing

In completing and returning this application you are consenting to the processing of data therein and that this will comply with the General Data Protection Regulation 2018.

I consent to my documentation being shared with Children’s homes, Local Authorities and clients so they can abide by Ofsted regulations. This includes but is not limited to CV, application form, references, DBS, certificates and, proof of identity and eligibility to work documentation.

To the best of my knowledge, the information I have supplied on this form is correct. I understand that giving false information or omitting relevant information could disqualify my application and, if I am appointed, could lead to an offer being withdrawn or my dismissal.

I consent to this information being verified, which I understand will involve providing relevant documentation for checking and contacting referees/previous employers.

Reimbursement of Costs

I understand that should I be successful at interview and complete the CFSS recruitment process and decide not to go ahead with my offer of employment, I will be liable for costs incurred including DBS, training, recruitment, and induction (if applicable).
