Due to the nature of working in schools all Teaching, Cover Supervisor and Teaching Assistant posts are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. To be considered for any of these roles, you must disclose details of any non-protected convictions, cautions, warnings or reprimands you may have.
Disclosure of a criminal record or other information will not necessarily restrict you from appointment. Information given will only be taken into account where the offence is relevant to the post applied for. Failure to declare a conviction regardless of offence may result in exclusion from our register if the offence is not declared but later comes to light. Think Teachers must be notified of any convictions, cautions and reprimands or if you are or have been subject to any investigation or prosecution by the police after the enhanced disclosure has taken place.
For applicants who do not hold a valid Enhanced Disclosure check, Think Teachers will apply for an Enhanced Disclosure on your behalf. This will take place prior to commencing employment with Think Teachers. The cost of a DBS application falls on candidates and payment is required before we can process the application. Please be aware that once the check has been sent to be processed by the DBS no refund will be given.
