Why choose Kelly Educational Staffing?

Kelly Educational Staffing® (KES), since its launch in 2001, has developed and grown into one of the most competitive and successful supply teaching agencies in the UK with the support and backing of one of the world's largest recruitment organisations.

We strive to recruit the best and most experienced teachers, and to provide them with the support and training that they need to perform to the best of their abilities.

The rewards that we offer teachers and schools alike are far superior to those offered by any other agency. Through our promise to pay teachers top rates we attract only the very best teachers. Our stringent vetting procedures ensure that the teachers we place in schools are of the highest standards and can be trusted with the tremendous responsibilities that come with a teaching profession.

The Safety of children and young people always comes first

Kelly Educational Staffing® is proud to confirm its commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

Keeping children and young people safe is a key priority for us.

One of the ways in which we are able to successfully meet our commitment to safeguarding children and young people is through our thorough candidate registration process. All new candidates registering for work in the education sector are initially vetted in accordance with DfES guidelines. They must then undergo an in-depth face-to-face interview and agree to be part of a stringent background checking process. These checks include: List 99, enhanced CRB disclosure, reference checks, right to work and qualification checks. By agreeing to our thorough registration process, candidates can be assured they are working for a recruitment agency that values the welfare of children and young people and upholds guidelines set out by the DfES.

Further demonstration of our commitment to safeguarding is achieved through the use of our 'Safeguarding Children & Safer Recruitment Checklist' - a form of written confirmation to our customers which states the checks that have been completed on any given candidate assigned to work.

In addition, all candidates working through KES or Kelly Services are required to carry with them at all times proof of ID, in the form of an ID card (including name, date of birth, address and photographic identity). We understand and wholly support the need to provide evidence that checks have been completed on a candidate. The ID card supports this evidence by providing proof to a school that the candidate is who they claim to be. In this way, we are re-confirming to our schools our commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
