beth1 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hi Oooh I am starting to look busy for job interviews next week. Interview on Monday for a Deputy Preschool Leader, this is the one I would like, um wonder if I could be the B23 co-ordinatior? Then on Tuesday a nursery who had my C.V. from summer rang up about a room leader job, not sure which room it in. They are again interested in my exprience, relavant qualifications and the FDey, they say the maybe able to fit around the day at college. Well the job centre cannot say that I am not looking for jobs in the childcare setor. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 By the way, at a treasurers network meeting last night (dedicated or what!!) we were told that our job application form cannot ask for a person's age or date of birth, and that any advert cannot state things like 'experienced person required ...' or 'lively graduate required' just thought I'd share that. You can ask at a later date for someone's age if for example you need to determine the level of minimum wage. Sorry to hijack your post Beth. Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

beth1 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 Well Deb thats good to know, I have been filling out application forms that state age and date of birth. It is a good idea but how willl a nursery manager really know how old a person is , as standards do set out that under 17's are not allowed to work with children unless supervised on placement. Imagine that, wonder what the big 'O' would say to that? Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 In some professions there are age restrictions so in early years the question would be are you 17 years or over.? Same as rehabilitation of offenders act, our proffesion has some exemptions to this act. Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
