The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act helps rehabilitated ex-offenders back into work by allowing them not to declare criminal convictions after the rehabilitation period set by the
Court has elapsed and the convictions become "spent". During the rehabilitation period, convictions are referred to as "unspent" convictions and must be declared to employers.

information declared.

If you are applying for a post involving access to persons in receipt of health services, your offer of employment may be subject to a satisfactory disclosure from the Disclosure and
Barring Service. Failure to reveal information relating to any convictions could lead to withdrawal of an offer of employment.

iii. Details of any training, education or other interests relevant to the post.

Supporting information
During the last year and a half, I have been taking part in the main theatre's department, where I have developed the required scrub
competencies in different specialities, namely, general and vascular, gyne and urology, ENT, and orthopaedics and trauma, in which I
am currently working.

Apart from mastering the skills within the team and complete the main theatre mandatory training courses, I have also attended different
workshops offered by the medical equipment companies that we work with, such as Zimmer or Jhonson and Jhonson.

Additionally, I have already worked as a team leader when the situation has required. I believe building a strong team is crucial in order
to sort out the issues that might occur in the theatre on a daily basis.

Finally, due to the reasons provided above, I think I am enough qualified to promote the Band 6 position, as my intention is to keep
growing personally and professionally in this speciality while I keep on learning and assuming new responsibilities.

Privacy notice
This privacy notice is about how your personally identifiable information will be managed from job application through to starting work. The
information is needed to help recruit the best people, perform the necessary employment checks, arrange a contract of employment, get new
recruits started in their work and fulfil legal/regulatory requirements. These are necessary steps prior to being able to establish, continue or vary a
contract of employment.

In some special cases your information may have been entered without your having completed a job application. For example, where students are
being placed from a training provider (and your information has been received from that training provider) or where employment checks need to be
carried out on existing staff.

During recruitment, the recruiters consider the information provided on the job application form and that provided for assessments and interviews.

As you get further through the process, employment checks may need to be performed such as identity, right-to-work (immigration), criminal
records, professional registration, qualifications, references, occupational health and other checks. More information or documentation, such as
proof of identity documents, may be needed from you. Only the necessary information is shared with organisations where they assist us with these
checks and it is only for the purpose of performing those checks.

To get a new recruit started in their work, induction training and some administrative requirements are completed. Some information will be
requested from you at that time, such as bank details for your salary payments and emergency contact details in case you have an emergency at
work. The information for those who have been recruited is entered into the employee management and records keeping systems that are used by
the employer.

If you do not provide information as needed, this may hinder or prevent your application or employment.

Any information you provide about your ethnic origin, religious beliefs and sexual orientation is used only for equal opportunities statistical monitoring
of the recruitment process and workforce. It is protected throughout the process, is not visible to those assessing your application or to hiring
managers, and cannot be used in a way which can identify you. It will not affect your application if you choose to not provide this information.

If you indicate that you can be considered for a preferential or guaranteed interview owing to a disability you have, that information is used only for
the purposes of arranging interviews.

If you decide that you wish to leave a job application process, you can login to your applicant account then withdraw your application. For special
cases (examples above) you should instead contact the employer.

Your information about your application through to starting work is automatically deleted from this recruitment management system once it is no
longer regarded as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. This is 399 days after the date the application was entered in this
recruitment system or 199 days after your proposed/actual start date, whichever is the greater. This period allows obligations relating to lawful
employment practices to be fulfilled such as statistical reporting and the defending of potential legal claims.

The data controller for this information is Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. This application tracking system is provided by Trac
Systems Ltd (www.trac.systems) as a data processor. Trac Systems provide some recruitment support services and have staff and secure data
storage located entirely in the UK.

contact either the team who are handling your application or the Data Protection Officer (informationgovernance@btuh.nhs.uk). If you agree, we will
