How do I register with the agency?

Call the team on 01268 205620, email info@brightfuturesrecruitment.co.uk or send us your CV online, and we'll send you our registration forms. We'll then arrange a short phone call and request the documents we need for compliance.

Do I need a DBS, and do I need to be on the Update Service?

Yes, you'll need an enhanced DBS. If you don't have one, we can help you apply. Being on the DBS Update Service is preferred, as it keeps your certificate current and portable. Find out more about the Update Service.

What schools do you work with?

We partner with primary, secondary, SEMH and SEND, alternative provision and independent schools across our local area and the wider UK, as well as therapeutic schools and children's residential homes.

How often will I get paid?

Our workers are paid weekly through an umbrella company we partner with. Some long-term or permanent roles may follow the school's own payroll.

What support do you offer once I'm placed in a school?

We stay in regular contact to make sure you feel supported. You'll have a dedicated consultant, and access to CPD, feedback and ongoing guidance.
