Teaching Qualifications
We will need to see your original teaching certificates or academic transcript. Certified copies will be accepted so you can keep your documents at home. If you are eligible for UK Qualified Teacher Status you can apply for your certification online.
Police Check
You will need to have a police check from your home country (this needs to be within 6 months of departure). You will also need to provide police checks from any other countries you have lived in for more than 6 months in the past 5 years. For advice on how to obtain a police check you can use the UK Government Criminal Record Checks For Overseas Applicants guide.
UK Police Check (Enhanced DBS)
Schools in the UK require all members of staff to hold an Enhanced UK police check (DBS). Before you leave, Career Teachers will email you with all the information to complete your DBS form online. This is the most important document to complete prior to arriving as without it you won’t be allowed in schools!
All documents need to be in English or certified, translated copies.
