Getting Vetting Ready: Documentation Needed To Register With A Recruitment Company

If you're a supply teacher or lecturer looking to register with a recruitment company, you'll need to be vetting-ready with the right documentation. It can be an overwhelming process, but we're here to provide you with guidance on what you need to prepare. In this post, we'll discuss the essential documentation that you'll need to register with a recruitment company, making the process as smooth as possible for you.

 

Proof of identity

One of the first things you'll need to have is proof of your identity. This can be in the form of a passport, a driving license, or a national identity card. You may also need to provide a proof of your address, such as a utility bill or a bank statement. It's important to ensure that your name and address are up to date and match the details on your other documents.

 

DBS certificate

As a supply teacher or lecturer, you'll be working with children and young adults, so a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate is a must-have. Your DBS certificate is proof that you do not have any criminal convictions or warnings that would make you unsuitable for working with vulnerable groups. Your recruitment company may require an enhanced level DBS certificate, which will include details of any spent or unspent convictions, cautions, warnings, and reprimands.

 

Qualifications and certificates

Your qualifications and certificates are key to showcasing your skills and expertise in the field. You may need to provide your degree certificate or other academic qualifications, as well as any professional qualifications or training certificates that you hold. These documents are important for demonstrating your suitability for specific roles.

 

Right to work documentation

You'll also need to provide proof of your right to work in the UK. This can include a passport, a national identity card, a visa, or any other valid immigration documentation. Make sure that you have the right to work in the role you're applying for, and that your documentation is valid and up to date.

 

References

References are an important part of the vetting process, as they provide evidence of your previous work experience and conduct. You'll usually need to provide two professional references, which can be current or previous managers, supervisors, or colleagues. Make sure that you have their contact details and that they are willing to provide a reference for you.

 

Registering with a recruitment company can be a daunting task, but with the right documentation, you'll be vetting-ready in no time. Remember to gather all the essential documents, including proof of identity, DBS certificate, qualifications and certificates, right to work documentation, and references. By having these documents prepared, you'll be setting yourself up for success and ensuring that you're ready to take on any supply teaching or lecturing role that comes your way.
