APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS
APPLICATION FORM - NOTES OF GUIDANCE
INTRODUCTION
REACH Community Health Project is (SCIO) an equal opportunities employer and all applicants for jobs in the service of REACH Community Health Project will receive equal treatment irrespective of their background or disability.
The enclosed application form has been especially designed with equal opportunities in mind and it is emphasised that the content of your form will be treated in the strictest confidence.
The attached equal opportunities monitoring form is necessary in order to provide statistical information that can help assess the effectiveness of REACH Community Health Project’s equal opportunities policy. The information that you supply on your monitoring form will also be treated in strict confidence and will not be made available to the personnel responsible for the interview and selection procedures. Your co-operation with this section of your application is much needed and appreciated.
REACH Community Health Project operates a procedure whereby job applicants who consider that they have received less favourable treatment in terms of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975, Race Relations Act 1976, and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 during the recruitment or selection process may formally complain.
Full details of the procedure can be obtained from Secretary.
In order to facilitate REACH Community Health Project’s personnel record system, you are required to enter complete dates (i.e. Day, Month and Year) as required in the various sections of the application form.
NOTE: All applicants should complete the application form; CV’s will NOT be accepted.
A: POST DETAILS
The Post Designation, Department and Advertisement Reference Number should normally be found in the advertisement for the post.
Depending on the Post you are applying for & on the basis of the options provided in the advertisement, you can choose whether you are interested in a Part-time, Full-time or a Sessional Post or Open to all.
B. PERSONAL DETAILS
If you are offered an appointment you will be required to provide certain documentation e.g. a P45, a pay slip from a previous employer, a P60 or a NINO card to ensure legal entitlement to work in the United Kingdom. You will also be required to produce evidence of qualifications. / C: SECONDARY EDUCATION
This section should be filled in by applicants who completed their secondary education within the past 15 years and by all applicants for posts graded GS1.
Applicants with awards at the Higher, Ordinary or Standard Grade should indicate the subjects and award obtained in the appropriate boxes.
Applicants with completed SCOTVEC modules (National Certificate) should indicate the Module Title and “tick” the appropriate box.

E: PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES
Applicants should indicate their CURRENT membership status of professional institutes.
F: FORMAL TRAINING/APPRENTICESHIP
This section is to provide details of all other formal and informal further education or training, including in-service courses, which have not been included in section D above.
G: PRESENT EMPLOYMENT
This section is to provide details of your current employer (or your previous employer if you are currently unemployed).
In normal circumstances a request for a reference may be made to your current employer or your previous employer if you are currently unemployed. If you would prefer that your current employer is not advised of your application at this point in time then tick the appropriate box.
REACH Community Health Project does however reserve the right to contact your previous or current employers should you be selected for an interview-unless an express instruction to the contrary is enclosed with your application. However, should you be recommended for appointment then references will be required.
H: EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
This section enables you to list, in chronological order, details of your employment history.
Remember to include periods of vocational, vacational or voluntary work, especially where you think that this may assist your application for this post.
I: REFEREES
Referees are normally expected to be people who hold a position of responsibility. They will normally be asked for their opinion on an applicant’s
(a) personal character
(b) work capability compared to the duties of the post in question
You are therefore advised, where possible, to select your referees carefully and ensure that they have known you in a work situation.
Referees should normally be consulted before their names are added to support your application.
If, for some reason, you would prefer a referee not to be contacted, please tick the appropriate box(es).
J: JOB SHARING
Job sharing is the voluntary sharing by two persons of all the duties of an established post with the salary and appropriate conditions of service shared on a pro-rata basis according to the hours worked by each job sharer. In certain cases job sharing is also available to current employees who wish to share two related job-share posts in the same department. Where you wish to share both your present post and the post applied for on a job-sharing basis then you must discuss this with your immediate supervisor before submitting an application.
Job sharing is available to job applicants and it is not necessary for applicants to have an identified partner.
Job sharing is not available for certain posts with REACH Community Health Project but where this is so applicants will be advised.
K: HEALTH
All new entrants to the service of REACH Community Health Project may be required to complete a full medical questionnaire, as will all candidates being interviewed for specific posts.
REACH Community Health Project may also require certain new entrants to be medically examined, depending on the duties of the post and/or the circumstances of the person to be appointed. This will normally be discussed during the selection interview stage.
All staff are expected to maintain an acceptable level of attendance. Each department has a target attendance level - details of which will be discussed on appointment.
L: DISABILITY
As part of REACH Community Health Project’s equal opportunities policy, REACH Community Health Project is committed to a positive approach with regard to the recruitment of disabled people.
Every vacancy will be open to suitably qualified disabled persons subject to safety considerations. Applications from disabled people will be actively encouraged. / M: ADVERTISEMENT SOURCE
This information is required simply to assess the effectiveness of placing external job advertisements in various publications or agencies. Please name the Newspaper, Journal or Agency in which you saw the post advertised.
N: REHABILITATION OF OFFENDERS ACT 1974
In terms of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1975, applicants need not reveal any criminal convictions which are “spent” as defined in the act. However, certain posts within REACH Community Health Project are covered by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions Order) 1975 and the terms of the act therefore do not apply to these posts. Details of whether a post is covered by the exceptions order can be obtained from the REACH Community Health Project.
O: CANVASSING
Canvassing of elected members or employees of REACH Community Health Project will disqualify the applicant.

Include relevant details of previous posts you have held, both paid and unpaid, indicate positions of special responsibility you may have held both in the workplace situation and in your leisure interests, or even how your experience in life makes you a suitable candidate.
If you require using an additional page, remember to write your name and address and details of the post applied for at the top of the page.
