Safeguarding & Standards

At Clarus Education, we completely appreciate and understand that vetting safeguarding and security is paramount throughout education, which is why we ensure that all of our candidates are 100% compliant; and that we continually raise the bar, going above and beyond DfE guidelines.

Our candidates and clients can always be assured that all vetting procedures have been carried out using all requirements and more within the industry, allowing clients to comply with their legal obligations for safer recruitment in education.

To ensure that our vetting procedures are always adhered to, we will only place candidates that have been able to demonstrate they hold:

  • Proof of right to work in the UK (UK/EU Passport or valid Visa document)
  • Valid photographic ID
  • Teaching Qualification – if applicable (verified by DfE/QTLS check or UK NARIC if awarded overseas)
  • Current DBS Certificate (including a valid Online Status Check)
  • Barred List Clearance (formerly List 99)
  • Overseas police checks – if applicable (for time spent living or working overseas)
  • Medical declaration
  • Structured & in depth competency based interview
  • Professional References (covering 2 years including most recent employer)
    Current CV (covering up to 10 year work history)

Prior to attending a trial day, interview or observation, Clarus Education will ensure all client schools have a complete list of the safeguarding checks for each and every candidate which the school will keep within their Single Central Record (SCR).

  • 5 star review  Clarus has been so supportive in finding me a placement which suits my skills and has great transport links. Ryan Bingham particularly made the whole process less stressful by maintaining excellent communication via phone and email, and answering any queries promptly. I would thoroughly recommend Clarus as a means to secure a teaching role in education.

  • 5 star review  Clarus education were outstanding throughout the whole recruitment process and found me a role within 2 days. It was my passion to go into teaching and I am incredibly happy with my placement. George from Clarus was incredibly helpful and remained in constant contact (he also agreed to buy snacks which is never a bad thing). I have been thoroughly impressed with Clarus and reccomend them to anyone who wishes to pursue a career within education.

  • 5 star review  Fresh out of university without a clue of what career I wanted to pursue, I started to consider education. However, as someone without any experience in the field, I was quickly turned away by multiple Teaching Assistant roles. Then I came across Clarus! My application was quickly processed and a meeting with Ali was set up. Instantly I felt welcomed and like an individual because. I was quickly sent to two interviews for Teaching Assistant roles and secured my second one. Throughout the whole process Ali and the team at Clarus were extremely supportive, constantly communication with me via phone calls and emails. If you don't have experience in the educational field and want to get your foot in the door (while getting paid), Clarus Education is the way to go!!

  • 5 star review  I'm so impressed with Clarus Education and very glad to be represented by them - I recently found the agency through a job advert and decided to give them a call to see if it would be possible for me to work as a teaching assistant for them despite having limited experience in this area. From the very first phone call I found the team to be enthusiastic, kind, helpful and professional. When I met Ali, Shevonnae and Ryan I was really impressed with how they took their time to get to know me and my ambitions and expectations as well as having a relaxed and friendly approach. As soon as all necessary paperwork and checks were done I couldn't believe how quickly Ali arranged a trial at a school for me (within one day!) and at the end of the day I was offered the job. I'm really impressed with Ali's work and dedication in securing me this role and would definitely recommend Clarus to anyone seeking work in education because they have been fantastic to deal with and have turned what can be a stressful and anxious time into a really positive experience for me.
