Vetted educators. Zero compliance burden.
NUPAF supplies international schools across Southeast Asia and South Korea with safeguarding-cleared, English-speaking educators — and handles every operational detail in between, from contracts to payroll to local labour law.
Every NUPAF educator clears the same bar — no exceptions.
A complete operational layer between your school and UK educators.
Recruited, vetted, ready.
NUPAF runs targeted campaigns through UK universities, careers fairs, referral networks and proprietary channels to attract English-speaking educators specifically for your subject and stage requirements.
- UK-only sourcing for British curriculum schools
- AI screening, then human shortlisting by a UK consultant
- Subject-specialist focus on hard-to-fill vacancies
The hardest part, handled.
Every educator completes DBS checking, international background screening, four safeguarding training modules, and signs NUPAF's Code of Conduct before placement is confirmed. We track everything in a secure portal you can access.
- DBS checks updated every three years
- Legalised criminal background checks across all countries of residence
- Country-specific safeguarding protocols included in training
- Full audit trail accessible to school safeguarding leads
