Common Questions

What qualifications do I need?
It depends on the role. Teaching roles typically require QTS or a Level 2/3 TA qualification. Care Certificates or Level 2 or 3 in Care are often required in Health and Social Care. Roles often value experience with autism, learning disabilities, SEMH, or complex needs just as highly as formal qualifications.

Is there a fee?
No. Our service is completely free for job seekers. We're paid by the employers we place you with.

How quickly can I start?
Most candidates are work-ready within 3–5 days of completing compliance. We fast-track the process wherever we can.
