Safeguarding and the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974

The nature of the work at Hugh Baird College is such that posts are exempt from the provision of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Applicants are, therefore, not entitled to withhold information about convictions which for other purposes are ‘spent’ under the provision of the Act. In the event of employment, any failure to disclose such convictions could result in your employment being terminated. A criminal record will not necessarily be a bar to obtaining a position with the College and in the event of a successful application, a disclosure may be requested from the Disclosure and Barring Service. Have you ever been convicted of any criminal offence or received a police caution, reprimand or final warning? Yes No

Page | 1 Equal Opportunity Monitoring Form

Hugh Baird College is committed to equal opportunity in employment. No job applicant or employee will receive less favourable treatment, either directly or indirectly, on grounds of race, ethnicity, disability, gender, marital status, sexuality, age, religion or belief. So that we can monitor the effective implementation of our policies, we ask all job applicants to complete our Equal Opportunity Recruitment Monitoring form. The completed form will be separated from your application form on receipt and will not be referred to or made available during the selection process.

The information you provide on this form will be used for reporting statistically only, (except where the purpose is clearly explained as in Section 3 – Disability). Should you be offered employment, the information will form part of your confidential personnel record.

It is therefore necessary for the information to be provided to the Chair of the short-listing panel – it will ONLY be shared with the rest of the panel once the selection against the essential criteria has been completed. *Please read the definition before completing this part* : The Equality Act 2010 defines a disabled person as someone who has a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities e.g. walking, communication, reading and writing.

Page | 2 Guidance notes for applicants

The application form is the first stage in the recruitment and selection process and is a key element in being short-listed for interview and the possible offer of a job. It is important, therefore, that you complete all relevant sections of the application form as clearly and as fully as possible.

Assessing the information provided in your application form will be the only means by which the short-listing panel will decide who to invite to interview. The short-listing panel will consider whether you have demonstrated that you fulfil all the “essential” requirements identified in the person specification.

In the event of there being a large number of people who meet the essential requirements the panel will consider which candidates meet those requirements listed as “desirable” in the person specification. It is therefore essential that you complete both parts of the form.

Curriculum Vitae will not be accepted

Completing the form

It would be helpful to the short-listing panel if you respond separately to each item in the person specification explaining carefully what particular skills and experience you have that contribute to you meeting the criteria. In the event of there being insufficient space on the application form please use continuation sheets. Remember

• It is not appropriate to simply say that you have a particular skill or quality required. You must provide examples of how you have demonstrated this requirement in your present or previous job or in some other area of your experience, e.g. in voluntary work or during your education.

• We will not make any assumptions about your abilities. It is up to you to tell us even if you already work for the College.

• Tell us in the space provided of any particular requirements you have, e.g. in relation to access or dates when you cannot attend for interview (Please note that we may not be able to offer alternative interview dates)

• Please provide all relevant contact telephone numbers, and email addresses.

• Referees – Two referees are required, one of whom must be your current or most recent employer. If you have never worked you should identify two referees who are able to tell us about your skills, knowledge and abilities, e.g. Head teacher or voluntary work organiser

• Please complete the form in black ink or typescript.

If you have any queries regarding any aspect of the recruitment and selection process or if you require copies of documentation in alternative formats, etc large print, Braille, please contact Human Resources on 0151 353 4659/4632/4526/4449 .

PART B Recruitment Application Form Please note:

The College uses an anonymised application process at short-listing as part of its Equal Opportunities Policy. This form is therefore in two parts. Part A captures the required personal information and will be separated by Human Resources until the short-listing process has been completed. Part B contains the information which will be used by the recruitment panel to assess whether or not your application meets the essential criteria set out in the Person Specification. . Please read the guidance notes on page 3 before completing the form and use black ink or type.
