Preparing for your assignment

Before attending a school, you must carefully read the provided assignment confirmation you will be sent. It will provide you with important information, including the name of who you should report to at the school; your pay; start/end time; any health and safety measures; as well as other information you need to be aware of before starting your placement at the school.

Ensure that you plan your journey in advance and make sure you arrive at least half an hour before the day starts on your first day at the school. Being punctual goes a long way in showing you are committed, hardworking and have a good work ethic. It will also allow you time to speak to your school contact, meet other staff, familiarise yourself with the school, and plan your day accordingly.

You will be required to take your DBS certificate and your Step Teachers ID badge with you to every school, as well as any other additional ID your consultant has requested. This is a specific requirement from the school, you will be sent home without it and without remuneration.
