References will not be accepted from relatives or from people writing solely in the capacity of friends. Both referees should be able to comment on your work. Please ask permission from your proposed referees prior to naming them. By including a direct email for your references will considerably speed up the application process.

As this position involves working with children, any number of your previous employers may be contacted without seeking further permission from you in relation to your employment history as part of the vetting process (this includes vetting of internal candidates).

Both references will be taken up prior to interview.

SECTION 11. GUIDANCE NOTES AND RECRUITMENT INFORMATION

PLEASE DETATCH THIS SHEET AND RETAIN IT FOR YOUR FUTURE USE

WorkwithYORK supplies 'temporary' workers (also known as relief, sessional or supply staff). There is no obligation for the WorkwithYORK to offer work, and no obligation on the individual to accept work.

Assignments that we may offer temporary staff vary from a few hours to a few months at a time e.g. during the peak season, for several evenings or lunchtimes, for odd days to cover absence or help out in an emergency etc.

COMPLETING YOUR APPLICATION FORM

It is important that you fill in every section of the form as fully and accurately as possible. Our decision on who is suitable will be based on the information you give on your application form.

Before you start:

·  Consider the type of work you would like to do and read all the information first to make sure that work through WorkwithYORK on a temporary basis is suitable for you.

·  Read the application form carefully before you write anything.

Filling in the Form:

·  Please write or type in black ink. (paper applications)

·  Please be sure to complete section 9 which allows you to state the type of work you are looking for.

·  If you have a copy of your CV, please feel free to attach it to your application form.

·  Fill in all parts of the application form. If some parts do not apply to you, put ‘N/A’ (not applicable) in the space provided.

·  Use extra sheets if you require more space. Please put your name on each additional sheet and attach as appropriate (paper applications).

·  Your application form should be geared to the type of work you would like to be offered.

·  Make sure the information you provide is clear, precise and easy to understand.

·  Please complete the equal opportunities monitoring form at the back of the application form. The information gathered will be used to monitor the effectiveness of our equality statement and other work related policies.

·  If there is a specified closing date please note this and allow time for your application form to reach us. We will not consider application forms we receive after the closing date. However WorkwithYORK is continuously refreshing and adding to the pool of candidates, therefore there is no closing date for the general pool.

Please remember the following:

We want to accept the best candidates into the WorkwithYORK. To do this fairly, everyone who applies must give us relevant information about himself or herself. Where possible, please give examples of how you have used your skills and experience and show successful results where you can.

Criminal Convictions

We do not discriminate against people with criminal records. If you have a criminal record, this does not mean that we will automatically refuse to offer you work. The criminal record information you are required to provide is not used for selection purposes.

If you are invited for interview your criminal record will be discussed with you at interview. The nature and seriousness of any offences, how long ago they occurred and their relevance to the duties of the posts for which you are applying will be taken into account, before a decision is made as to whether your criminal record information makes you unsuitable for particular assignments.

Under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (ROA) as amended, you only have to declare unspent convictions. If the post is not exempt, such as posts involving working with children or vulnerable adults, then you will be required to complete a separate form, which will come with your application form.

If you do not provide the information on your application form we may withdraw any offer of work. Failure to disclose information about convictions which for other purposes are 'spent' under the provisions of the Act, will normally result in acceptance to WorkwithYORK being withdrawn. Withdrawal from any work assignment may also happen if we find out any relevant information after we have offered and you have accepted work.
