Permanent recruitment built around your setting

Finding the right permanent member of staff is about more than qualifications alone. You need someone who aligns with your setting’s values, supports your learners and contributes positively to your wider team.

TeacherActive supports schools, colleges, SEND settings and nurseries with specialist permanent recruitment solutions designed to reduce workload, minimise risk and secure high quality educators for the long term. Our service is completely free until a placement is made, giving you confidence throughout the recruitment process.

Whether you are recruiting for classroom teachers, support staff, middle leaders or specialist roles, we take time to understand your setting, your priorities and the type of person who will thrive within your school community.
 

Compliance and safeguarding

Safeguarding sits at the heart of everything we do. Our dedicated in house compliance team follows rigorous safer recruitment procedures to ensure every member of staff meets the highest standards before entering your setting.

Before placement, candidates complete a thorough vetting process that includes Enhanced DBS checks, identity verification, right to work checks, qualification verification, professional references, online checks and safeguarding focused interviews. We also review employment gaps and provide vetting confirmations to support your Single Central Record requirements.

Our safeguarding process is built around five core principles: deter, detect, assess, respond and reinforce. This ensures concerns are identified and addressed quickly, with ongoing monitoring and expert oversight from our Designated Safeguarding Lead and compliance teams.

TeacherActive is REC audited and committed to maintaining the highest safeguarding and compliance standards, giving you complete confidence in every placement we make.

Our social value commitment focuses on supporting educators, pupils and local communities in meaningful and sustainable ways. Through our My-Progression platform, we provide free professional development and training that helps educators grow in confidence and bring stronger practice into the classroom.

Beyond recruitment, we contribute to local initiatives that uplift young people, promote equal opportunities and reinforce the importance of education. Working with TeacherActive means partnering with an agency that invests in people, supports long term development and is committed to creating positive change across the sector.
