She has given me advise and guided my transition into agency work, which has resulted in providing me with excellent long term posts that have not only met my current requirements but have been mindful of my personal career progression. Very professional;  I am happier working for 4myschools than I have been in teaching for a long time. I highly recommend. Thank you”

3. Community Impact of the Year

4myschools Community Impact Shortlisted

Our investment in Updatedge has revolutionised the choice and control that temporary workers have in finding more work with local schools.

Supply Teachers and Support Staff often struggle to communicate with agencies and hirers, frequently receiving calls while they are already working, which leaves them with little choice of shifts and often feeling obligated to accept any work offered. This situation can give agencies a bad reputation, as workers feel excluded from the process or believe they are not being treated with honesty and transparency.

This lack of equality between recruitment businesses, hirers, and temporary workers can result in agencies having a disproportionate amount of control, deciding who gets to work, when, and where. Our ambition has been to level the playing field, supporting workers and hirers with greater symmetry, transparency, choice, and control.

By doing so, we aimed to enhance the reputation of agencies with hirers and provide recruitment consultants with more time and a better work-life balance.

More local work means a reduction in carbon footprint. It also supports supply staff by reducing their commute saving them money and staying local to support their local community.

Improved communications have led to less misunderstandings and increased productivity, all parties are empowered to be more effective with what the job entails, resulting in happier supply staff and Schools.
