--- title: "Job Vacancies" url: "https://www.alstonmoorfederation.org.uk/job-vacancies" school: "Alston Moor Federation" --- # Job Vacancies All posts involving direct contact with children are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. However, amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975 (2013 & 2020) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’. These are not subject to disclosure to employers and cannot be taken into account. Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found on the Ministry of Justice website or see **[here](https://unlock.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/misc/What-will-be-filtered-by-the-DBS.pdf)**. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a self-disclosure form to provide details of all unspent convictions and those that would not be filtered or protected, prior to the date of the interview. You may be asked for further information about your criminal history during the recruitment process. If your application is successful, this self-disclosure information will be checked against information from the Disclosure & Barring Service before your appointment is confirmed.
