Do you need a driving licence for head teacher jobs?

For home care and community roles, a driving licence and a car are often requested, because you visit several clients a day. Ads usually mention it, along with any mileage allowance.

Are background checks required for head teacher jobs?

Roles with children, vulnerable adults or in security usually require a criminal record check, for example a DBS check in the UK, and sometimes a specific licence. Employers often arrange it once they make an offer.
