Whitgift School (part of the John Whitgift Foundation) is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Where applicable, applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service, online media checks and overseas checks. It is an offence to apply for a role at the School if you know that you are barred from regulated activity with children.

All staff must be committed to providing a safe environment for children and supporting the School's safeguarding ethos.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

Shortlisted candidates will be asked to disclose information relevant to safeguarding prior to interview.
