Working with us

Everything your compliance checklist asks for.

Insurances, policies, how candidates are checked, and where your data goes. On one page, so onboarding a new supplier takes an afternoon rather than a fortnight of chasing.

How candidates are checked

Verified means verified, not sighted.

Every teacher presented holds current VIT registration and a Working with Children Check, verified before you see a name. This is what that actually involves.

Terms of business

A written agreement covering fees, when they are payable, payment terms, the replacement guarantee and liability. Reviewed by an employment lawyer. Sent before any work starts, never after.

Ask for a copy

  1. VIT registration checked against the register

    VIT registration confirmed on the public register, not accepted as a photocopy. Number and expiry date recorded against the candidate.

  2. Working with Children Check validated

    Card number and expiry recorded and validated. Re-checked before any subsequent placement, and any candidate whose card lapses comes off the list until it is renewed.

  3. References taken by phone

    Spoken to, not emailed a template. Some schools take their own references, and where you do, I will not duplicate the work. Where you want me to take them, at least one is from a direct line manager and the notes go to you, including the parts that are not glowing.

  4. Qualifications and right to work

    Teaching qualification confirmed, and visa status and work rights checked where relevant. For sponsored appointments the school is the sponsor, not Armitage Collective.

  5. If something lapses during a placement

    You hear from me the day I find out, not at the next review. That has a cost to me and it is still the only defensible way to run it.

Child safety

Ours, not just theirs.

Armitage Collective operates in line with Victoria’s Child Safe Standards and Ministerial Order 1359 as they apply to a recruitment supplier.

Insurance

Certificates of currency, on request.

Ask and they come back the same day.

Your data and theirs

Where everything lives.

Candidate records and school contacts sit in one dedicated recruitment system with two-factor authentication. Email is on a business Microsoft 365 tenant on our own domain, not a free mailbox.

Nothing is sold, nothing is shared with another agency, and a candidate CV does not reach a school without a call to that candidate first. Anyone can ask for their record to be deleted, and I act on it straight away. Exactly how that works is in the privacy policy.

Privacy policy

What is collected, why it is held, who it is disclosed to, and how to ask for a copy of your record or have it deleted.
