MORE INFORMATION

We acknowledge that candidates may use AI in writing their applications and ask that if they do, they declare where this has been the case. Our recruitment processes help us understand what candidates uniquely contribute, and submissions that rely too heavily on AI risk obscuring the very qualitied we are looking to discover. If you use AI, let it support your thinking not replace it.

We encourage you to apply even if you feel that you do not meet all the required qualifications. Frequently cited statistics show that women and underrepresented groups are more likely to only apply to jobs if they meet 100% of the listed qualifications. We encourage you to break that statistic and apply if you think you have what it takes to join us.

If you wish to apply under the Disability Confident Scheme, then please make us aware of this and ensure that you meet the minimum requirements for the role.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

Taunton School is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of gender, marital status, sexual orientation, race, ethnic origin, nationality, religion, disability, or age. We particularly encourage applications from under-represented groups.

Candidates will be assessed against relevant criteria only (i.e. skills, qualifications, abilities, experience) in selection and recruitment.

If you require reasonable adjustments to be made to enable you to participate in the recruitment and selection process, please contact [email protected]

SAFEGUARDING

Taunton School operates in a regulated sector and adheres to the Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) statutory guidance. We are committed to working together to safeguard children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

If you are shortlisted for interview the HR team may carry out an online search via Google to check presence and activity, as part of the School’s due diligence. As a regulated sector we are required to request references prior to interview unless your permission is not granted.

Offers of employment are subject to satisfactory safeguarding and pre-employment checks as part of the School’s due diligence, in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education. These include, but are not limited to, ID and Right to Work in the UK, satisfactory references, a successful enhanced DBS check, and satisfactory online searches.

This job is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and subsequent amendments. You are not entitled to withhold information about convictions which would otherwise be considered as ‘spent’. All applicants must therefore declare all previous convictions and cautions, including those that would normally be considered "spent", except those that are classed as protected offences.

It is a condition of employment that the employee should not have been convicted of a criminal offence against children, nor have been dismissed from or resigned from a previous employer for misconduct of a similar nature.
