About The Application Form

Your application form is an important part of our selection process. It will be used:-

• to decide if you will be selected for interview (to see if you have the right mix of knowledge, skills and experience)

• in the interview (we may ask you more about your previous experience etc.)

• for checking information with your referees

• as a basis for the contract of employment (so it must be accurate as far as possible)

Please complete all sections, read the declaration at the end before you sign it. By doing this you are saying that:

• everything you have written is accurate to the best of your knowledge and belief, and

• you wish to be considered for the job on this basis.

If you are selected for interview, you will be asked to fill in a pre-employment health-screening questionnaire, which will be assessed by Occupational Health. Any offer of Employment will be subject to a satisfactory report.

You may include additional information like a CV or certificates if you wish.

References

Because of the nature of working in residential care, we need two references. One of them must be from your previous employer, training scheme co-ordinator or college tutor (box 2). The other (box 6) can be from either a work or a personal referee. If you have not worked before please nominate two people who have known you well for some time (not family or relatives) and who can make informed comments. Remember to ask permission to use people as referees.

Your referees will be asked to verify information in your application and whether they have any knowledge of any criminal convictions.

Any offer of employment will be subject to Fremantle receiving two satisfactory references.

Criminal Convictions

All jobs with Fremantle involve working with frail or vulnerable people. To protect them, all posts with Fremantle are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. This means that you are not entitled to withhold information about criminal convictions that would otherwise be deemed to be 'spent' (box 7).

Please note that your referees will be asked if they know if you have any convictions.

If you have a conviction, it will not necessarily debar you from employment with Fremantle.
