Our Recruitment and Onboarding team is proud to be part of the wider People team at MidKent College,  playing a key role in supporting managers to attract, recruit and welcome talented individuals who share our commitment to excellence in education and support. We are dedicated to delivering a smooth, efficient and engaging experience for both hiring managers and new starters, ensuring that every step from vacancy approval to day one is handled with care, clarity, and professionalism.

We are passionate about safer recruitment and are fully committed to ensuring compliance with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance at every stage of the process. This includes carrying out rigorous pre-employment checks and safeguarding vetting, offering expert advice on the latest legislation, and ensuring all recruitment practices support the protection and wellbeing of the young people in our care. Whether recruiting permanent staff, agency workers or contractors, safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do.

From the initial job requisition to the moment a new colleague walks through the door, our team works collaboratively across departments to provide expert guidance, timely communication, and personalised support. We aim to create a positive first impression of the College and ensure that every new starter feels confident, welcomed, and ready to succeed from the outset.

As part of the People team, we are proud to contribute to a culture that values inclusivity, compliance, and continuous improvement—helping to build strong teams that drive the success of our College and support the needs of our students.
