We help training providers and colleges hire assessors, IQAs, skills coaches, curriculum leads, sales and leadership — quickly, compliantly, and with zero time-wasting.
For Employers
You send us the brief. We source, screen, and interview — you only ever see candidates who can genuinely do the job, with all Safer Recruitment checks already completed.
For Candidates
Whether you're actively looking or just curious, we work exclusively in Further Education, Skills and Apprenticeships — across the UK. We'll represent you properly.
Compliance & Safety
In FE and apprenticeships, Safer Recruitment isn't optional — it's a regulatory requirement. We collect candidate compliance information before they reach your inbox, including qualifications, referee details, right to work, and DBS information. All documents are loaded and ready to share the moment a placement is confirmed. The responsibility for commissioning a new DBS check always rests with you as the hiring organisation.
Our approach is aligned with the DfE's Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance and Ofsted inspection requirements for training providers and colleges.
DBS Information Collected
We ask all candidates about their DBS status. Where a certificate or Update Service registration is held, we collect and share this with you. Commissioning a new DBS check is your responsibility as the employer.
Right to Work
Identity and right to work in the UK verified and documented in line with Home Office requirements.
Qualifications Obtained
Original certificates sighted and copies taken. FE qualifications (AET, CET, DET), assessor awards (TAQA, D32/33, A1) and industry-specific licences verified.
Referee Details Collected
We obtain referee information from every candidate — minimum two professional contacts — and share full details with you on placement for you to follow up directly.

Every document is uploaded to the employer portal. One click to download your complete compliance pack on placement day.

What people say
Joe is one of the best Recruiters I have worked with. Extremely professional, reliable and credible, communication was first class! More importantly Joe understands the Skills and Employment Sector and provided me with invaluable advice throughout the process.
The team at Educated Appointments possess an exceptional ability to understand our organisation's unique requirements, swiftly identifying top-tier talent that aligns with our company culture and values.
After scouring the sector nationally for a Senior MIS Officer for nearly six months with three other agencies, Joe found us the right candidate within weeks. Genuinely impressive sector knowledge.
Joe went above and beyond every step of the way. Regular check-in calls, interview confidence prep, and he made sure I was fully informed at every stage. Would recommend without hesitation.
