Why work with Classroom Support?
Our approach
Classroom Support is a leading supplier of Teaching Assistants for both SEN and mainstream schools throughout London & the South East and offer recruitment solutions for short-term, long-term and permanent vacancies.
Our team of dedicated Consultants work closely with a host of Special Schools, Pupil Referral Units (PRUs), Alternative Provisions and SEN provisions within mainstream schools, providing them with a bespoke solution for their staffing needs.
Services we offer
We can help you with short-term and day-to-day requirements as well as longer-term and permanent contracts. We also offer competitive temporary to permanent options if you have someone from us on supply who you’d like to retain on a permanent basis. We don’t charge a penny for our services until you find someone you’d like to hire, so it never hurts to take a look at who we have available.
Vetting & Safeguarding
There is nothing Classroom Support take more seriously than our vetting and safeguarding process. The safety of children is at the forefront of all of our recruitment practices. Our safeguarding processes are in line with both the DfE (Department for Education) and REC’s (Recruitment and Employment Confederation) guidelines. You can be fully confident of your candidate’s background and suitability to work in your school. All of our supply staff must attend a face-to-face interview followed by the verification of the necessary documents by our compliance team.
