Additionally, you have a solid understanding ability to understand the legal framework and decision-making processes relevant to school admissions and appeals, and equality in service delivery and employment. If you're passionate about making a positive impact in the education sector and have the right experience, we would love to hear from you! About us Our ambitious Luton 2040 Vision - that no-one in Luton will have to live in poverty - is at the heart of everything we do.

Are you ready to realise the remarkable and help us deliver our vision? Application Process Because of the nature of this job, it will be necessary for the appropriate level of criminal record disclosure to be undertaken. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore applicants are required to declare all unspent cautions and convictions; and also any adult cautions (simple or conditional), and spent convictions that are not protected as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2020). A person's criminal record will not in itself prevent a person from being appointed to this post. Applicants will not be refused posts because of offences which are not relevant to, and do not place them at or make them a risk in, the role for which they are applying. However in the event of the employment being taken up, any failure to disclose such offence, as detailed above, will result in dismissal or disciplinary action by the Authority.
