Respecting Diversity is a core Council value.
The Council is committed to reducing the risk of bias in its recruitment activities by operating an anonymous shortlisting process, which hides personal information that can identify individuals until their application has been considered for shortlisting. The council also operates a scheme whereby, for jobs graded up to and including scale SO2, internal candidates are considered first. This includes those candidates who self-identify as having a disability for the purposes of the Disability Confident scheme.
The Lion Academy Trust is an equal opportunities employer, committed to safeguarding and protecting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will undergo reference checks with previous employers, medical clearance, and will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.
