Our Agency Markup: £0

The Saving:
Big agencies make huge profit by adding unreasonable markups. We won't charge you a fee for your school's first 3 supply placements!
During the trial, you'll only pay the educator's baseline gross wage and their statutory 18.5% employment costs (covering pension, NI, etc.)
Save £180+ during the start-up period when compared to traditional legacy agencies charging standard high-street markups.

Identity & Right to Work
Criminal & Safeguarding Vetting
Professional Standing & Regulatory Check
Background & Reference Scrutiny
We verify the candidate’s identity using original documents and run a real-time statutory check via the Home Office system to confirm their unrestricted right to work in the UK.
We inspect the Enhanced DBS Certificate and verify its live status on the DBS Update Service, and check against the Children’s Barred List to ensure the candidate is legally cleared for regulated activity.
We verify QTS status with the Teaching Regulation Agency. Crucially, we check for any active prohibition orders or Section 128 restrictions that would bar them from a classroom or leadership role.
We audit their full employment history, backed by a minimum of two professional references from previous employers. We also complete screening in line with current Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidelines.
Safeguarding and compliance is at the heart of what we do. Every candidate follows a rigorous vetting process to ensure schools get the best talent without risk.


We are registered with the ICO, demonstrating our commitment to protecting the personal information of schools, candidates and other stakeholders, ensuring that all data is collected, stored, processed and shared securely and lawfully. Schools can have confidence that we take our data protection responsibilities seriously and maintain high standards of confidentiality and compliance.
