Motherclanger Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Oh dear Hali ! Sounds like you have been having a difficult time ! I've just replied to your other post and I know how hard it is sometimes with committees ! I left my settings as Supervisor last summer, but have now gone back as deputy and with a new committee which have been better. I don't know of any agencies but I'm sure someone will come along who does. Hope things work out for you. Motherclangerx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I phoned the agency my friend used at her nursery. She said all the staff she'd ever had from there were good and they were always her first choice. She also said often she couldnt get anyone because they were always in demand. That means they always have work for you. Check the rates of pay too, they dont all pay the same rate even working the same areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I suddenly remembered this one - they seemed much more adaptable than any of the others I talked to. In the end I didn't need to use them so I don't know whether they are as good as they sounded! Good luck! Mx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I went to settings personally with my CV and asked about 'bank' staff opportunities from that I did regular work for two local settings - and I got a better rate than through an agency. xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I used Capita education and they are good I spoke to them too when I was looking for cover staff.

Susan Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hali, its worth checking with Select Education in Reading. I was offered NN work by them when I was doing supply a few years back. Also worth going to the local schools. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 it would help if I spelt it right. I understand if you are sessional then it would be harder as most supply are looking for longer. But that should helo Hali if there is a demand for supply staff she will have plenty of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
