The Successful Candidate
All candidates will have a:
Competency based professional interview
Qualification and ID check
DBS check (for UK based candidates)
Overseas police clearance (for overseas
candidates)
Some of the students you will be working
with have little to no English; therefore good
communication skills and an eagerness to
learn the culture is essential. Any previous
experience in working with children is
desirable.
NB:This is to ensure that they meet the CapitaTeachsafe
Quality Mark.
