RECRUITMENT WITH CARE

Specialists in school site staffing

We’re the first and only company focused solely on school site roles, so we understand your challenges. Unexpected absences in your site team can cause huge disruption to daily operations with school leaders forced to take on extra duties just to keep the building compliant and open.

Our candidates aren’t just skilled, they’re trusted members of school communities who have been handpicked for their mindset as much as their transferable skills. They care about doing meaningful work, understand the importance of safeguarding, and take real pride in supporting their local community.

Our friendly Resourcing Team takes the time to understand your school and your needs. They’ll then match you with the right individual for your site team to keep your school open, safe and welcoming to students.

PRIORITISING CHILDREN

Safer recruitment, safer schools

At TIB Services, safeguarding isn’t just a box to tick, it’s a shared responsibility. Like you, we believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and protected at school. That’s why our recruitment process goes beyond the latest Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance, and why we only work with candidates who put safeguarding at the heart of what they do.

Safeguarding children

Every candidate comes with a Letter of Assurance for your central school record and full pre-employment checks, including:
  • Enhanced DBS
  • Children’s and Adults’ Barred Lists
  • Government photo ID & Right to Work check
  • Online background checks
  • Employment references
  • Level 2 Safeguarding Children

Our training programme

Safety doesn’t stop at vetting. We train every candidate in key areas of site safety so they can protect your pupils, staff and premises from day one. Our training includes:
  • Asbestos Awareness
  • COSHH
  • Fire Warden Certification
  • Legionella Awareness
  • Manual Handling
  • Working at Heights, and Ladder Safety
