Why it’s important to meet your consultant
Taking the time to meet your consultant in person is an important step when working with us. They will guide you through the registration process, understand your experience and preferences, and help match you to the right role.
Even though much of the recruitment process can happen online, new government DBS rules mean you are required to have an in-person meeting. This allows us to provide support that is personal, clear, and genuinely helpful.
Updated DBS rules
The government’s updated DBS guidance came into effect in November this year. It requires agencies to see the physical DBS documents to ensure compliance.
Coming in with your original documents is the simplest way to meet your consultant, have everything checked, and start your placement with confidence. You can find more details in the official DBS identity checking guidelines.
Benefits of meeting your consultant
Meeting your consultant also gives you the chance to ask questions and receive clear, honest guidance on anything you are unsure about. Many candidates find that taking the time to meet your consultant helps them feel confident and supported throughout the process.
A face-to-face conversation allows us to fully understand your teaching style and approach. Personality and communication are easier to assess in person, which supports better safeguarding decisions and helps us place you in environments where you will thrive.
Visiting us also speeds up the registration process. Questions about your CV, gaps in employment history, or small compliance queries can be resolved immediately, helping you get cleared and ready for work sooner.
It is also an opportunity to receive tailored advice on the local market and what schools are currently looking for. Whether you are an experienced teacher or taking the next step in your education career, discussing this in person leads to clearer guidance and a more confident start.
Most importantly, meeting your consultant helps you build a relationship with the person who will support you throughout your placements. It makes communication easier, builds trust, and gives you a direct point of contact whenever you need advice or feel ready for a new role.
