A committed team

All adults who work at Burnside, whatever their role, are committed to supporting children and work hard as a team to give your children the best possible start in life.

We are committed to Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. As such, an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check will be sought prior to appointment, along with other relevant employment checks deemed appropriate.
