Job Application Form

A work permit is not required to employ a person who is a national of a country, which is a full member of the European Union (EU) or a national of another European Economic Area (EEA) country. In certain circumstances, it may not be necessary to obtain a work permit for a non-EU/EEA national, e.g. where permanent UK = resident status has been granted by the Home Office or where the passport has been endorsed with a visa which places no restriction on employment in the UK.

Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence? If yes please attach details on a separate sheet, including relevant date and offence committed. NB: Because of the nature of work for which you are applying, this post may be exempt from the provisions of this Act. If exempt, candidates are not entitled to withhold information about convictions that, for other purposes, would be regarded as ‘spent’. The amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975 (2013) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’ and are not subject to disclosure to employers and cannot be taken into account. Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found on the Disclosure and Barring Service website. In the event of employment, any failure to disclose information about convictions will result in dismissal or disciplinary action.
