I have been applying to piano teaching jobs for a while now, each time I'm met with delayed responses and usually unpaid work. This is not the case for The Supply Room, my application process was handled efficiently by a very helpful member of their team called 'Poppy' since then they managed to book me in as a teaching assistant in a school. The whole process has been very exciting and I look forward to working more with them.

I’m truly grateful for everything Amber Slate has done. From the very first day, she went above and beyond in every way. She’s not only extremely professional but also kind, caring, and respectful, which made the whole experience so much more positive and reassuring. Her support has meant so much to me, and I honestly can’t find the words to express just how deeply I appreciate it. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your success, she’s absolutely the one!

I have nothing negative to say about The Supply Room. Poppy has been nothing short of amazing and has truly made the process so much easier. I had a placement within a week or two (simply waiting for a DBS to come back) and so far, I'm loving that placement. If you have ambitions for joining the world of education - go with The Supply Room. You won't be disappointed.

Called the agency looking for a new working start. I was quickly put in touch with Poppy and she explained how they could support me in that. I am now working for the first time in a primary school as a 1-2-1 just as I always dreamed of doing. When I was injured both the school Poppy had supported placing me in and herself was quick to help me and provided support. I have my own disability that make me second guess my self in working out if i would fit in somewhere, but I know with the support of Poppy from the supply room I don't ever have to worry about fitting in she took the time to understand me amd find me the best fitting job.

I have been with The Supply Room for two years. It has been great. I was open at my initial face-to-face meeting ( with Carla Botha who has now left ) that I had a history of depression when asked about some gaps on my cv, I thought I may not be therefore booked. This was not the case, I have been treated with no mental health discrimination even when I’ve been ill. I really appreciate that. I met Brandon Alborough and Lara Tipper face to face too in February last year when I came into the office without! an appointment ( I really appreciated their time and patience meeting with me as after being ill I felt to see them face-to-face ). I’m grateful Brandon remembered and acted on my requests of the boroughs I wanted to work in and the type of school I wanted to work in too. I know Lara Tipper has moved from TSR Fleet Street but like Carla, if there is a way to share this feedback to them I will be grateful.

Last year Ariana Malaj was my agent for a school I loved working at. The day ( the day before the last! day of the summer term ) Ariana told me they would not book me for the new academic year, she did so most sensitively, I really!!!! appreciated that as I did not get to say proper goodbyes and we were like a family in the primary department.

Xavier Phoenix is my current agent and has been great too. Again regarding health, I once was ill and had to leave work after two and a half hours. The next day, I wasn’t sure if I could make it ( it was my first few weeks at the school I’m currently at ). Xavier encouraged me to try and return home if I couldn’t, this was extremely helpful and I was fine to get through the day…

I write this lengthy review on purpose to emphasize the kindness, support, encouragement and more I have experienced at TSR.

Incredibly useful at finding me a place, they meet with you and get to know all of your qualifications and preferences before letting you know about any opportunities you might be interested in straight away, both jobs and training courses. I had Amber as my agent who was very clear about the process and always fast to respond, felt really easy to get fully qualified to be in a school. Only took about a month from joining to finding a job I like, would definitely reccomend to someone looking to work in education.

The Supply Room is a wonderful recruitment agency that helps connect people with the type of work they are looking for.

Maddie Harston was particularly helpful, kind and supportive throughout the process. I was given multiple positions to choose from, was given adivce on trial shifts and all the steps/relevant information was very clearly communicated. If you are looking for part-time or full-time work in Dorset or Hampshire, I would highly recommend contacting the team here.

Within a week they were able to secure me with a job working in a primary school and the process from there was very quick that I could have started straight away.

I have just moved from Kent and was searching for a job with SEN schools within my new area, I have had Maddie helping and supporting me with this, she was very understanding with my situation, she made sure that things could be arraigned around my circumstance and made sure I was up to date and aware of everything that was happening. I have been able to send maddie emails, with quick responses, she often called me to check how I was and to give me information. I had a meeting with maddie and told her what my ambitions were, and she has made that possible, I am currently working at the SEN school that I chose with maddie and have been offered future commitments there, however this was all down to maddie, she was in constant contact with the school, chasing them up with things and making sure they knew everything about me that they needed too. I would 100% recommend the supply room to anybody looking for something similar, and if not, I’m sure maddie will be able to support you with what you’re looking for. I would like to finish this by thanking the supply room and their team for the support but in particular maddie, you were amazing.
