Jobs at Class People

Who are we?

Class People are an independent supply teaching recruitment agency providing supply teachers, teaching assistants, tutors, SEN staff and early years practitioners to schools and settings across the South West.

What do we do?

We match education professionals with opportunities in schools and other settings across the full span of the curriculum, age groups and abilities for day-to-day cover, long-term roles and permanent vacancies.  

With education at the heart of everything Class People do, it's no wonder that we have become both our schools’ and our teachers’ go-to provider! 

Our mission statement is: “The First-Choice Education Recruiter in the South West.” 

Where did Class People begin? 

The company was launched in 2002 as a lifestyle business by former supply teacher, Lynis Bassett, from her living room in Gloucester.  

After Lynis experienced supply teaching through one of the country’s “big corporate” education recruitment agencies and found that it left much to be desired, her vision for Class People was to provide:

• a better deal for both supply teachers and local schools 
• a more personal and tailored service  
• an increase in the quality of supply teaching 

We are education professionals that learned recruitment; not recruiters that learned education.
