The Ri welcomes applications from a wide range of candidates, including those with criminal records.

We ask candidates for all positions to complete a convictions declaration.
Where the role will entail working directly with children and young people, or provides unrestricted access to their data, the position will usually be exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2013, and we will ask that all convictions which are not ‘protected’ are disclosed.
For all other positions, we request that only unspent convictions are disclosed.
Failure to disclose a conviction at application stage will result in an automatic disqualification from the post applied for and all future positions with the Ri.
