I have been working with Affinity Workforce since February. I moved from another agency because I wasn’t enjoying it anymore, and do cover work here and there at the schools and whenever they need me. AWS has offered me loads of days and have so many days available, so it’s been great.

I couldn’t recommend Affinity Workforce highly enough. From the first phone call I was treated like a person and the recruitment team were aware and understanding of my background and current position. I have been provided constant opportunities in over 20 schools across Merseyside meeting fantastic people, feeling welcome wherever I have been.

I am a supply primary teacher and have been been with Affinity Workforce for around a year and a half. The staff are lovely flexible and reliable. 

-Bethany, Early Career Teacher

I’ve had no problems while working with Affinity Workforce. It has given me the choice and opportunity to change jobs quickly if needed. If you don’t like the place you’re working you can always arrange to start working somewhere else. Although I only did this once, it is good to have the option.

– Nick, Early Career Teacher

I would recommend others to join CER because they are a very established agency. They have a lot of teaching roles available and they listen to any issues that you may have. You never skip a day of work, which is amazing and they have always been very professional.
