  • References WILL be taken up in the case of short-listed candidates unless you ask us not to do so.

  • Any offer of appointment is subject to satisfactory evidence of medical fitness for the job. Applications from disabled people are welcome and they should not be deterred by the medical check as this only relates to fitness to do the job. 

  • (If applicable for the post) an offer of employment will also be subject to the relevant checks by the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Disclosure Service. Please contact the Council’s HR Department on 01353 665555 for a copy of the Council’s Policy Statement on the use of the Disclosure Service or the Code of Practice for the secure storage, handling, use, retention and disposal of Criminal Record Bureau Disclosures and Disclosure information. The existence of a Disclosure will not necessarily be a bar to obtaining a position. 

  • Please refer to the job advertisement for details of the salary for the post, the closing date for receipt of completed applications and the interview date. 

  • The Council is currently in the process of transferring to a new job evaluation scheme and implementing a new pay and grading structure. Please be advised that the salary offered to the successful candidate may change as a result of the review. 

  • If you have not received notification of short-listing two working days before the interview date, please assume that on this occasion your application has been unsuccessful. Please note that details of unsuccessful candidates will be kept on file. If you do not wish for this to happen, you must contact the Council’s HR section within two weeks of the closing date for this post. 

  • Interview expenses will be reimbursed for the actual cost of second class train or bus fares or for car travel. Claim forms will be issued following an interview which will need to be returned to the HR Section together with any relevant receipts. Please note that any overnight accommodation should be approved by the HR Section in advance.
