it s 7am and the phones haven t stopped ringing. it s just to let you know, we ve got some work tuesday, thursday. schools across the midlands desperate for supply staff. i ll have a look for a cover and i ll ring you back in five. we re the busiest we ve ever been. if you re a headteacher calling us at seven o clock, you re going to struggle. and that s just. that s just the reality that we re faced with. from caretakers through to teachers, this recruitment agency has supplied staff to 700 schools and the bookings are still coming in. there s just not enough teachers out there, and teaching assistants out there. a good day for me is when we re able to fill all our requirements. we pride ourselves on long term relationships, we pride ourselves on how good we are at matching candidates to schools. a bad day is your 7:30, 8:00 calls come in, schools we need this, we need that, and you re having to say, 0h, we ve got no one on our availability. this is mayfield school in birmin
