I have worked for Spencer Clarke for just over a year now and throughout my time here, all the team have always been very supportive with excellent communication. I know often working on supply can be unpredictable but within Spencer Clarke, I have never been out of work and they are always quick to find placements for their team members. When considering placements, the team at Spencer Clarke always like to make sure to take into consideration how you’re feeling and ensuring it’s a right fit for all involved.
I have worked closely with Joseph Chanter who is always quick to respond to emails and willing to answer my phone calls to help sort any confusion or concerns out as quickly as possible.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to work within various schools with full support of a very kind and caring agency.

I have been with this agency for 18 months! My contact Taylor Kirkam is just brilliant! Always available no matter the query, and Taylor was always there to provide guidance on anything I was unsure of very professional yet friendly, warm and most importantly always approachable. Simply can not fault this recruitment company at all! My experience has been smooth and easy right from the start until today. Having such a friendly and approachable contact in Taylor was so reassuring as this was my first time being a contractor.
