Thank you for your application

Having worked for Class People since August 2023, I have progressed through the company to Principal Recruitment Consultant. I specialise in connecting passionate teachers and teaching assistants with fantastic opportunities in schools across Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Bath, North Somerset, and Somerset. With a strong focus on primary education, I take real pride in building lasting relationships and making sure both schools and candidates find the perfect fit.
Coming from a high-volume temporary recruitment background, I know how important it is to work efficiently while still making sure every placement is the right one. But for me, recruitment isn&rsquo;t just about filling roles&mdash;it&rsquo;s about building trust, really getting to know people, and creating opportunities that truly make a difference. I always bring a friendly, personal approach and am here to support my clients and candidates every step of the way.
I recently achieved my REC Level 3 in Recruitment Practice, further strengthening my expertise in the field. I&rsquo;m passionate about making a positive impact in education and excited to keep growing strong partnerships while driving Class People forward.
