Thank you for interest in applying for a position(s) at St. Catherine’s Center for Children!
As you will see, on the first page of our application, you are asked to respond to the question, “Have you ever been convicted of a crime, including misdemeanors and summary offenses, which has not been annulled or expunged or sealed by a court?” At this time, we are asking that you list and provide information if you’ve ever been convicted of a crime. This information will be shared with the Agency’s Executive Management Team (EMT) for review and consideration.
I have attached a copy of Article 23-A which was signed into legislation in August 2008. Article 23-A provides employers with guidelines that are to be used when reviewing an applicant’s prior conviction(s). Please review Article 23-A, and be assured that we have and will continue to take the Article 23-A guidelines into consideration when determining an applicant’s prior conviction(s).
