About the school:
Cambian Lufton College is situated across a number of sites which include, Lufton Manor, Lufton Manor Farm and community houses which together make up a 30 acre rural campus located on the outskirts of Yeovil, Somerset. The College caters for young people and adults between the ages of 16 - 25 years that have additional learning needs and associated complex behaviours that may challenge. The College prides itself on being able to support all young people, including some that haven’t previously had the opportunity to access a bespoke, meaningful education at a College that prepares them for adulthood in an individualised way. The college offers both 38 and 52 week residential placements, with a holistic approach from our education, care, clinical and support teams to those with additional and complex needs including Autism and Asperger’s. This is a unique opportunity to work collaboratively in a supportive environment with trained, qualified professionals and to join an expanding, successful educational organisation.
Requirements for an Enhanced DBS and reference checking will be undertaken in line with government regulations and safer recruitment best practice. Whilst we endeavour to keep the recruitment process as short as possible due to the nature of these important checks it may extend the processing time. All young people are equally entitled to have their needs met in a fair and balanced way. Cambian Group employees are responsible for promoting equal opportunities for all and for challenging any behaviour or practice which discriminates against any young person or colleague on the grounds of race, religion, disability, age, gender, sexual orientation or any other perceived difference.
We will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates.

As care must be taken to avoid unconscious bias and any risk of discrimination a person who will not on the appointment panel will conduct the search and will only share information if and when findings are relevant and of concern.
