Unless you direct otherwise (for example in a situation where you would like this Application kept on file for future vacancies) the Application Forms (and attachments) of unsuccessful applicants will be destroyed after 6 months. It is the policy of the Agency to protect, and keep secure, all personal data collected. All personal data is processed for the purposes of recruitment, and, in the case of successful Applicants, for the satisfactory administration of their employment, and for no other purpose.

Equality of Opportunity Statement

The Agency’s Equal Opportunities Policy covers all employees, or potential employees, and embraces the principle that all people shall be treated equally, regardless of their age, gender, ethnic origin, nationality, colour, religion, marital status, sexual orientation, religion or belief, disability, or offending background

Next of Kin to be notified in case of emergency:

Further to the implementation of the working time regulations on 1 October 1998, employees will not be expected to work more than an average of 48 hours per week. Tring Care discourages any individual from working above the maximum weekly working limit. However, the regulations allow an individual to exercise their option to work above the 48-hour limit, provided a written agreement is made.

Please specify which types of work you would prefer. You should tick all appropriate boxes. The service we give depends on accurate, up-to-date information. Please keep us informed of all developments, in your career and work preferences.

Registration implies acceptance of our code of confidentiality.

In the course of your duties, you may have access to confidential information about your clients. On no account must information relating to identifiable clients be divulged to anyone other than the manager of the agency. You should not disclose ANY information to your family, friends or neighbours.

If you are worried by any information you have obtained and consider that you should talk about it to someone else MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO SPEAK IN PRIVATE TO YOUR MANAGER.

Failure to observe these rules will be regarded as serious misconduct which could result in removal from the agency register.

I have read and understand the above and I agree to abide by the contents therein.

As a general rule, no-one need answer questions about spent convictions. However this general rule does not apply to specified professions, employments and occupations. By virtue of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) (Amendment) Orders, the exemption rule does not apply to:

1. any employment or other work which is concerned with the provision of health services and which is of such a kind as to enable the holder of that employment or the person engaged in that work to have access to persons in receipt of such services in the course of his normal duties, or
2. any employment or other work which is concerned with the provision of care services to vulnerable adults and which is of such a kind as to enable the holder of that employment or the person engaged in that work to have access to vulnerable adults in receipt of such services in the course of his normal duties

One or both of the above apply to work with the Agency, and covers all occupations.

You are therefore requested to provide details of all convictions, including those which would otherwise be considered as “spent”. All employment applications will be considered carefully, and the disclosure of a conviction does not imply that this employment application will be rejected.

Records will be checked via the Criminal Records Bureau procedures

Note

(To protect the confidentiality of this information, please detail convictions on a separate sheet of paper. Place it in a sealed envelope with your name clearly visible, and headed “Private and Confidential – Criminal Convictions” and attach this to your completed Application Form)

Criminal Records – Disclosure Certificate

The Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) have issued a Code of Practice regarding Disclosure Information, a copy of which is available upon request. A Disclosure Certificate (standard or enhanced) will be requested from the CRB which will detail all convictions, including those which would otherwise be “spent”, as well as details of cautions, reprimands or final warnings. You will be advised of the type of certificate being requested, and asked to give your approval to this application. The Disclosure Certificate will only be requested in the event that you are successful in your application for employment.

Tring Care operates a policy of Equal Opportunities: therefore, we need to be able to check that decisions are not influences by unfair or unlawful discrimination. To help use to do this we would be grateful if you could complete this short questionnaire.

Your answers will be treated with the utmost confidence and will be used only for statistical purposes.

DISABILIBY
Applicants with disabilities will be invited for interview if the essential job criteria are met. Do you consider yourself to be a person with a disability as described by the disability discrimination act 1995? i.e do you consider yourself to be someone who has a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long term adverse effect on your ability to carry out normal day to day activities

Asylum and Immigration Act 1996

Under Section 8 of the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996 it is a criminal offence to employ a person aged 16 or over who is subject to immigration control unless:

• That person has current and valid permission to be in the United Kingdom and that permission does not prevent him or her from taking the job in question; or
• The person comes into a category specified by the Home Secretary where such employment is allowed

Any employment offered will be subject to the successful applicant producing appropriate evidence that the Asylum and Immigration Act is not being contravened.
