Pinewood School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure & Barring Service.
The posts advertised here are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (and the amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975, 2013, 2020 and 2023) and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
