The Recruitment Process

Select Education carries out stringent identity, CRB, qualification and reference checks, we also insist on a face-to face interviews so that we can match the skills, experience, personality and aspirations of candidates to the requirements of the 16,000 schools, nurseries and colleges we work with annually. A summary of the vetting process which all candidates, regardless of the role, go through is as follows:

  • A face-to face professional interview with an education specialist
  • Confirmation of qualifications
  • Professional references are obtained
  • Medical history form is completed
  • Criminal Records Bureau check
  • List 99 check

Supply help when you need it

Inevitably, requirements for short or long term supply cover arise in every school. Select Education exists to meet those needs quickly and efficiently. Your supply requirements will be rigorously matched with the teachers and support staffs that are registered with us so you can be confident that the supply help we provide will meet your needs and make a positive contribution to learning in your school. To make life simpler for you, as well as carrying out vital checks and assessments, we will make sure that all professionals we provide receive a briefing on your school and their supply role before they arrive. We also take responsibility for payroll including statutory deductions and all employment-related costs, so reducing the administrative burden on your school.

Risk-free permanent recruitment

We know from talking to schools every day that recruiting staff to complete the team is one of the most challenging problems for head teachers. Recruiting new staff through traditional methods is time-consuming, potentially expensive, and offers no guarantee of success. Select Education's permanent recruitment service aims not just to save your school time and money, but also to be risk-free. We take responsibility for finding the right individual for your school based on comprehensive job and person specifications agreed with you in advance. These are then matched with the specialist subject secondary teachers who are registered with us through our network of offices across the UK and who are actively looking for new roles. We will then present you with a shortlist of candidates with the qualifications and experience that you need. Each candidate will have been subjected to stringent checks and assessments. All you'll need to do is to decide which candidates you would like to interview and to make your choice. Only when you appoint the successful candidate do we charge a fee - so there is no risk of spending your valuable budget on an unsuccessful recruitment campaign!

Support designed to make your life easier

We understand that every school is different and that is why one of our consultants will work with you to identify your individual staffing requirements and specific needs. Select Education offers a quality, reliable, efficient service which aims not only to save you valuable time and money, but is also risk free. Our investment in technology and innovation is designed to simplify your recruitment activity. Finding the right person for the job, whether a college principal, specialist teacher or teaching assistant, as well as managing administration, payroll and management reports takes on a whole new meaning when you're working with specialists who have a full understanding of what is required now and for the future.
