How long is a supply placement?
We tailor the length to suit your school’s specific needs. Whether you require cover for maternity leave, long-term illness, phased returns or to fill a vacancy while recruiting permanently, we can provide a solution that supports consistency and continuity for your pupils.
Can I interview supply staff before confirming?
Yes. We encourage schools to interview or meet candidates before confirming a long-term placement. This helps ensure a strong match in both skillset and school culture, and our consultants can coordinate the process quickly.
What happens if the placement doesn’t work out?
We’re committed to getting it right, but if a placement isn’t meeting expectations, we’ll step in immediately. Our team will listen to your feedback, help resolve any issues and, if needed, identify a suitable replacement promptly with minimal disruption.
