Empowering Schools with Skilled Site Staff

TIB Services is the UK’s only specialist school caretaker recruitment agency, providing reliable, proactive, and community-focused site staff. Since 2013, we've partnered with over 2,000 schools and multi-academy trusts, offering a pool of more than 9,000 candidates from diverse backgrounds, including the military, emergency services, engineering, and trades.

How We Can Help Save You Time, Effort and Money

When schools are without a caretaker, staff feel the strain and leaders lose valuable time. In-house recruitment can cause:

30 hours of senior leadership time spent on admin per new hire
Over two months of school disruption before a new starter makes an impact

At TIB Services, we cut that disruption to less than two weeks on average. Our caretakers are skilled, KCSIE pre-vetted and fully trained, ready to step in from day one.

Our Services

We offer tailored staffing solutions to meet the unique needs of schools:

Temporary & permanent placements - Whether you need short-term cover or a permanent hire, we can help. We also offer temp-to-perm options, giving you a low-risk way to trial a candidate before making a long-term decision.
Skilled individuals - Our candidates bring transferable skills, life experience and a strong work ethic, which means they thrive in caretaking roles.
Vetting & compliance - All candidates undergo Enhanced DBS checks, KCSIE pre-vetting, and comprehensive safeguarding training, ensuring they meet the highest standards of safety and reliability. You will receive a letter of assurance for your central school record, including details of our rigorous checks and training.
Training & development - Our staff receive specialised training in areas such as asbestos awareness, COSHH, fire safety, and manual handling, equipping them with the knowledge to maintain a safe and compliant school environment.
