Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications do I need for SEND roles? Most SEND roles require a relevant teaching qualification (QTS) or support certification (Level 2/3 Teaching Assistant). However, experience with specific needs like autism or SEMH often holds equal weight. We assess transferable skills for those transitioning from care backgrounds.

How quickly can I start working? Once your compliance checks and DBS are cleared, you can start immediately. The vetting process typically takes 3-5 days, depending on reference response times. We fast-track this by managing the administrative burden for you.

Is there a fee for candidates? No, our recruitment services are entirely free for job seekers. We are paid by our partners and institutions that hire you. Our priority is finding you the right role without any financial cost to you.
