Brilliant and helpful company

Teaching Assistant (Current Employee) - Poole, Dorset - 3 May 2022

I’m very happy with the supply room my recruitment consultant maddie is incredible and extremely helpful in both finding a placement in a school that suited me as well as always there to answer any questions I have. The process can take awhile due to background checks and admin but once you have found a school suited it’s very quick placement. I’m very happy at the school I found and can’t thank the supply room enough for helping me get there.

Pros

Helpful and friendly consultant

Cons

No pay in school holiday

Teaching Assistant (Former Employee) - Merton, Greater London - 22 October 2021

The Supply Room found me supply work upon arriving in the UK, helping me find my feet in the workplace. They also then found me two long-term placements, both of which I loved. The whole team were friendly, helpful and informative. Great team!

Recruitment Consultant (Current Employee) - Merton Abbey Mills - 27 February 2020

The friendliest and most supportive sales company I have worked for. Promotes consultants helping each other rather than making a toxic competitive environment.

No jobs!

Supply Teaching Assistant (Former Employee) - Mitcham, Greater London - 24 July 2019

Friendly enough but empty promises and time wasters. Don’t have the expertise to be able to match you to the right positions. Even tried to charge me for another DBS even though my current one is portable and on the update service.

Regarding your DBS - We would only ever ask for a new DBS if it did not cover the correct workforce (child/ adult), there are several guidelines regarding the type of DBS we can and cannot accept which we adhere to. We would be happy to discuss these in detail with you; call our office and ask to speak to Joe or David. We have several very experienced managers and consultants within the company so I am sorry you have not had a great experience. I would love the opportunity to discuss this with you - please do email your contact details to david.dossantos@thesupplyroom.co.uk
