Returning to teaching via supply.....

[Bearnecessity]

Can anyone recommend good agencies in the south-west, thanks....I am Primary by the way...

Class people? They cover a few areas in SW

SE not SW but I worked with Protocol. Really good - got me the exact work I wanted, when I wanted it - I'm part time with kids to juggle so I wasn't the most flexible on days / times / locations but - I got all the work I wanted when I wanted it , decent pay. I have a permanent job now but I am very sure that I would have been offered a permanent job through one of my placements with them had I not taken the one I did. Really pleased with them!

Great, thank you.

Great, thank you.

I also signed up with teaching personnel but they got me less work. To be honest I'm not sure if it's because I was getting so much from protocol that I turned down quite a lot from them as I didn't need it, but protocol did offer a lot. TP did offer a fair few long terms though which although I didn't want to do they did offer me one probably every other week so that was good.

I have worked in recruitment myself though many years ago, and I actually worked for TP, then I went and worked for a local agency (not in the south) and they had much better relationships with the schools and paid slightly more to teachers as they didn't need such high margins. So it's always worth looking at any independent agencies in your local area as well.

I do think on the whole from what I know about recruitment that Protocol do generally tend to have a good deal of work.

Ok Ophelia...thanks I'll check them out.
