Class Recruitment

Class Recruitment serves the independent early years education sector in South West England, placing candidates in both permanent and temporary roles. The agency vets candidates for personality, qualifications, and experience to ensure they meet regulatory standards. Founded in 2009 by Karen Howe, it focuses exclusively on early years recruitment.

For temporary roles, candidates can start within two weeks if they have a valid DBS certificate and pass a reference check. A minimum of three months' experience in a childcare setting is required, though experience as a nanny or in a primary school is also considered. Candidates specify their availability one week in advance, and those with a car who are flexible Monday to Friday can be guaranteed up to 30 hours per week. The agency also supports 'earn while you learn' by working with colleges to help candidates achieve a formal early years qualification while gaining experience.

Employers can request a callback from a consultant to discuss staffing needs. Candidates can sign up for job alerts to stay updated on vacancies, or submit their CV via email to info@classrecruit.com.
