Working with Class People
Over 20+ years, we have placed thousands of education professionals into their perfect placements. Whether full-time, part-time, short-term or permanent; whatever you're looking for, we're experts in it. Hear what our schools and staff have to say:
We have been using Class People for many years and they are our go-to agency when we need supply staff. The service is efficient and professional and the calibre of staff very good and frequently excellent. We know we can contact them at any time of day, and they have often supplied teachers at very short notice. The administration (DBS checks, invoicing etc.) is also effective and prompt and we are pleased with the flat rate we were able to negotiate for all teachers.
School
The thing for me that sets Class People apart from other agencies I have worked for, is that the representatives treat you with respect and listen to what you feel your strengths are and try to match you to assignments accordingly. I have always felt valued and have received as much work as I have wanted. I am about to start a permanent post but would not hesitate to return to working for Class People in the future, should the need arise.
