Personal development is at our core

We pride ourselves on the constant development of our people, by partnering with experienced school and college leaders and seeking out constructive feedback from our clients. Externally, we aim to help shape the way our teachers and lecturers perform. We offer full support both on client side and also with each individual, from initial interview right through to placement completion and beyond.

Quality management

As a full-service education recruiter, based in Bristol and operating across the nation, Dovetail and Slate will arrange thorough and strict vetting for all candidates, ensuring they are legally compliant and ready for work. Aligning with the Department for Education’s process for the Safeguarding of Children and Vulnerable Adults, our vetting procedure includes List 99, web checks, prohibition searches and the ability to conduct online DBS checks. If there’s anything further required, you only need to ask and we can arrange that too.

At Dovetail and Slate scrupulous background research isn’t just a tick-box exercise. We pride ourselves on a people-first approach and consider the safety of all minors as our number one priority
