We are dedicated to ensuring the highest standards of safer recruitment and we are committed to safeguarding to ensure students within the schools that we work with are safe from adults and other children.
As such we have a comprehensive compliance and safeguarding process which is audited yearly by APSCO Compliance +; having received 100% in our APSCO Compliance + audit for the last four years running.
Having such a rigorous recruitment process also allows us to be part of the Crown Commercial Service’s (CCS) Supply Teachers and Temporary Staff in Educational Establishments agreement, which demonstrates our commitment to safeguarding and gives you the peace of mind that you are joining a respectable and credible education recruitment agency.
Here are the 5 simple steps to get you compliant and sent out to work!
Step 1: A Phone Call - We always start our registration process with a phone call. This is the very start of our relationship with you, and we want to listen to you to understand your needs and wants. We will find out what type of work you are after – whether it be a teaching, support work or non-teaching role and in which setting you wish to work – nursery, primary, secondary or SEND. We also need to assess your suitability to work, so we will ask you about your experience and qualifications and go through your full work history to verify everything you have said.
Step 2: Pending Application - We will complete a comprehensive employment history timeline that dates back to compulsory education. This timeline must be fully completed and include every period of employment, regardless of the role’s relevance to education or its duration. Any gaps in employment or education lasting three months or more must be clearly explained, with reasons provided. We arrange a time and date for an in-depth video interview and send you the application form. In the application form, you will be asked to supply details for references, DBS, Qualifications and Identity documentation.
Step 3: Application Form Completed - Behind the scenes, the compliance team will begin sending your reference requests, and once completed, will review your application form. They will be in touch to let you know if there is anything outstanding and to provide an update on your references. You will also be assigned a login for our online training portal to complete your free KCSIE Safeguarding, Prevent and FGM training course.
Step 4: Interview - Once the compliance team have received everything from you that they require, you will then be invited to complete either an in-person or digital interview with a consultant. This is an opportunity for us to get to know you as well as for us to explain our expectations. You will be asked our interview/safeguarding questions, and we will verify your documents.
Step 5: Awaiting Final Compliance - You will then be in the final stage of the compliance process, where we will continue to collect your references, complete all final verifications, and process your DBS if applicable.
Step 6: Out to Work - Finally! The time has come your out to work. Hooray! A couple of days before you start work, you will receive an onboarding call from your consultant to explain how to get the best from working with Flourish and from our online portal. Your consultant will also send you a welcome pack filled with some handy goodies, your official Flourish ID card, and their mobile number, so you can always reach us, even outside office hours.
We can offer both education career opportunities and supply teaching flexibility. We have a comprehensive list of teaching, teaching assistant roles, SEND support staff and non teaching positions available.
We recognise that everyone is an individual, with their own work life requirements and we pride ourselves in matching our team to the right schools to ensure you love your placements.
Whether you are looking for day to day supply, a long term temporary teaching position or a permanent teaching role, we have a job to suit your requirements.
