Privacy and Consent
Declaration
I declare that to the best of my knowledge, the information I have supplied in this application (including any Curriculum Vitae and/or Cover Letter I have provided) is correct. I understand that if any false or deliberately misleading information is given, or any relevant material withheld, I will not be employed, or if I am employed, my employment will be terminated.
Referees
I consent to Council seeking verbal or written information about me from my nominated referees and authorise the information be released by them to Council for the purposes of ascertaining my suitability for the position for which I am applying. I understand that such information is supplied in confidence as evaluative material and will not be disclosed to me.
Pre-Employment Checks
Where relevant to certain positions, pre-employment checks such as health checks, psychometric tests, credit checks, criminal conviction checks (Ministry of Justice and Police vetting), and visa checks may be undertaken for shortlisted candidates to assess suitability for a certain role.
Before being employed by Council in any safety sensitive position, applicants must undergo a drug test. Positions outside of safety sensitive areas may also require pre-employment drug testing at Council discretion. If an applicant fails the drug test, they will not be considered for appointment.
I understand that I may be required to give my consent for relevant checks and that any offer of employment if made is conditional upon the results of such checks. I consent to Council having access to and use of information arising from pre-employment checks for the purpose of considering me for appointment.
Verification of Qualifications
I consent to Council seeking verification on a confidential basis of my academic record as described in my application. I understand that this information will be used for the purposes of verifying my academic record for the vacancy for which I am applying. I authorise the release of this information to Council.
Privacy Statement
Council stores information collected in job applications on a secure platform with all reasonable technical and process controls. We use the data collected to communicate with you and determine whether your qualifications and experience meet the requirements of the vacancy applied for.
Unsuccessful job applications are held in case another suitable vacancy arises that we’d like to contact you about. When we have no further need to hold your personal information, we will securely delete the information or anonymise it. We will delete your information at an earlier date if you so request.
Yes, I understand and agree to the Privacy and Consent declarations above*
