Altrincham Preparatory School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. The protection of our pupils’ welfare is the responsibility of all APS staff and individuals are expected to conduct themselves in a way that reflects the principles of our organisation.
Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the school is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
APS is an equal opportunities employer and we welcome applications from all sections of the community.
