The Bridge Trust is unique, but not only in the collection of provision we have. We also have a set of fundamental principles which drive and inform us. We are driven by our values – the five Ps – pride, passion, professionalism, positivity and partnership. All decisions and developments are anchored on these values. When recruiting we look for staff who will buy into and uphold these values.

The Bridge Trust is committed to Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful candidates will be required to complete an enhanced DBS disclosure.

Certain criminal convictions as defined in the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions Order 1975), prohibit those individuals from attempting to engage in regulated activity involving children. We therefore ask shortlisted candidates whether they have any criminal convictions that would prevent them from fulfilling the role. If you think this may apply to you, please read more information on the ‘Recruitment of Applicants with a Criminal Record’ on the Policies page.
