2. Completed application forms should to be emailed directly to: hcapplications@hamiltoncollege.co.uk to be received by the published closing date. CVs will not be accepted.
3. All appointments will be subject to a satisfactory PVG. Applicants are encouraged to provide details of their criminal record at an early stage in the application process. We ask that this information is sent under separate cover marked for the attention of the Headteacher. At interview, or in separate discussions, we undertake to ensure an open and measured discussion on the subject of any offences or other matters which might be considered relevant for the position concerned. Failure to reveal information that is directly relevant to a position working with children could lead to withdrawal of an offer of employment and will be reported to the appropriate authorities.
4. Applicants should note that the School, in addition to requiring two satisfactory references, is required to ascertain the reasons for termination of previous employment in all cases where a candidate has worked with children; in practice, this means asking each of those employers for a brief reference. By signing your application form you are giving us your consent to do so.
5. Successful applicants will also be asked to exhibit Examination and Degree Certificates, and if coming from abroad, will be required to provide a Police Certificate from their country of origin vouching for their good conduct record, the cost of which will be borne by the applicant.
6. At Hamilton College, we are committed to equality of opportunity and to following practices and providing a service which is free from unfair and unlawful discrimination. We aim to ensure that no applicant or member of staff is subject to less favourable treatment on the grounds of gender, marital status, religion, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, age, sexual orientation, responsibilities for dependents, physical or mental disability, or offending background, or is disadvantaged by any condition which cannot be shown to be relevant to performance.
