Finish Strong and Get Ready for the Next Term with this Essential End-of-Term Guide

As we wrap up another successful term, we at Axcis Education want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our contractors for their dedication and hard work. Your commitment to providing exceptional education and support to students has made a significant impact. As we prepare for the new term, it’s important to ensure that you close off your current placements smoothly and get ready for new bookings. Please take a moment to go through our updated end-of-term checklist to ensure everything is in order.

1 – Return keys/door cards and any other school property

Please remember to return all keys, door cards, and any other school property. Walking away with a set of keys can lead to significant costs for the school if they need to replace locks. Additionally, textbooks, laptops, and other materials you’ve been lent should be returned promptly to avoid disrupting the transition for new staff and students. Ensuring all items are returned will also help you secure a good reference from the school.

2 – Final timesheet check

Before completing your contract, make a final check of your timesheets. Ensure all timesheets are up to date and submitted. This can be done through your consultant or by checking your online timesheet portal. Addressing any missing timesheets now is much easier than trying to resolve pay issues later.

3 – Update your CV and availability with Axcis

As you prepare for your next assignment, update your CV and inform your Axcis consultant of your availability. This helps us match you with new opportunities promptly when the new term begins, minimising any delays in finding your next placement.

4 – Mark and return all work

Ensure that all work is marked (where appropriate) and handed back to your line manager at the school. It’s crucial for the continuity of students’ education and to prevent stress for both the school and the children. Double-check your desk, home, and car to make sure nothing is overlooked.

5 – Complete any handover paperwork

A thorough handover is essential for a smooth transition. Ensure that all handover paperwork is completed and handed over to the incoming staff member or the Head of Department/Year. Include notes on syllabus progress, behaviours, triggers, medications, and any other relevant information.

6 – Update your profile for new placements

If you are looking for a new placement, it’s crucial to update your profile and let your consultant know as soon as possible. Keeping your profile current with your latest experience and preferences will help us find the best opportunities for you without delay.
