The Howard Partnership Trust is a values-based organisation which seeks to recruit individuals who can demonstrate our values. Our values will be assessed through the selection process. We therefore ask all applicants, when providing their supporting statement, to incorporate not only how they meet the essential criteria for the role but to also how they demonstrate our values.

• All voluntary roles within THPT are subject to a satisfactory enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), which will be fully funded by THPT. You will be required to sign up to the DBS Update Service free of charge and provide evidence of doing so before we can confirm your volunteer status.
• All volunteers will be obliged to produce their right to work or stay in the UK documentation, and we will request a minimum of two satisfactory references.
• The Howard Partnership Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
