One of the largest networks of supply staff in the UK

Because we have one of the largest networks of candidates, we can quickly provide staff for last minute cover for any college jobs as well as short and long-term, part-time and full-time, temporary and also permanent positions.

We understand the skills and experience colleges require for temporary and permanent cover and our aim is to provide the right candidate to fulfil these needs effectively - even at short notice. Each Capita candidate is inducted as to what is expected of them and how to meet the challenges of working in further education. You can expect them to be punctual, reliable and professional and have the flexibility to adapt and cope with the needs of your college environment.

Capita teaching staff and assessors will hold the relevant qualifications and in addition vocational specialists will have recent relevant industrial or commercial experience.

Our commitment is to provide you with suitable and experienced staff who will best meet your requirements. One Freephone call is all it takes to solve any staffing problems you may have. Requests can be made any time. Our offices are fully staffed from 9.00am until 5.30pm and requests for staff can be made at any time.

  • Identity check
  • Qualification check
  • CRB/DBS Enhanced Disclosure check

Quality Assurance

Safeguarding is a top priority and we work hard to maintain our standards. Our first priority is to ensure that necessary checks are carried out before any applicant is accepted on our register. Capita adheres to strict guidelines for vetting both UK and overseas staff. Once accepted an applicant’s performance will be monitored during assignments and they will also be subjected to an annual quality audit.
