In line with KSCIE we are required to obtain references prior interview, along with this we perform a gap analysis to ensure that there are no gaps within your application employment history.  We also reserve the right to check online and social media for all shortlisted candidates.

If you already work for Wellington College and wish to apply for another role you may do so in the same way as an external candidate.  However, if you are successful you are bound by a new contract under the current terms of employment, continuity of service will apply where applicable.  We are unable to accept internal applicants who have been in there current role for under 12 months.

Recruitment Selection and Disclosure Policy (Final)

Under the latest Keeping Children Safe In Education 2021 statutory guidelines for schools and Colleges, and as a regulated environment, we are required to take up references on all short listed candidates prior to interview, and explore any issues as part of the interviewing process.  For both teaching and teaching support staff, this is a mandatory requirement.

For College staff, whilst again it is a mandatory requirement, if a short listed candidate is concerned about their current employer finding out about their intention to leave sooner than they would like, please email us at the time of application on hr@wellingtoncollege.org.uk with justification on why we are not to contact your references.  Please note that no offer of employment will be made until all references have been completed and considered satisfactory.
