We use Link3 recruitment for our day to day supply needs for both teachers and TAs. The staff they supply are high quality and our advisor: Nick works hard to send the right candidate for the school’s needs. We have set up a Whats App group to make communication easier which is great as we can easily arrange supply from home without having to phone up. Their vetting procedure is fully compliant and the confirmation they send meets our requirements for our SCR.
