The post offers teachers, with a passion for learning, the opportunity to work in an exciting setting, with a team of staff, governors and volunteers which is dedicated to providing the very best opportunities for children and families in the Walthamstow area.

Emmanuel Community School is committed to safeguarding children and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening, as all new staff will be subject to DBS clearance, identity checks, qualification checks and employment checks to include an exploration of any gaps within employment, two satisfactory references and registration with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974) and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are ‘spent’ unless they are ‘protected’ under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
