Education recruitment specialists to don hats in aid of charity

Leading independent education recruitment specialists Class People are helping to raise awareness of the teaching profession this week, by taking part in Barnardo’s ‘Hat Day’. The charity’s aim is to encourage young people to use their imagination to be whoever they want to be, whether it be a fireman, an astronaut - or a teacher. With their extensive work with Barnardo’s Children’s Centres, Class People are keen to show their support in new ways to help the worthwhile cause.

As providers for supply teachers and early years practitioners across the South-West, South-East and Midlands, Class People will be sporting teacher style Mortar Boards in the office on Friday with an aim to highlight the importance of the occupation. The profession is currently seeing growing challenges of increasing numbers in schools and decreasing numbers of teachers.

Schools will be able to identify Class People supply staff on Friday as they have all also all been invited to join in with wearing a hat to school.

With previous charity work orchestrated to highlight the launch of the SEN department, Class People are no strangers to demonstrating their passion and dedication to the teaching profession. Whether it be cake sales for Genes for Jeans Day or donning pyjamas for Children in Need, the team are always looking for opportunities to demonstrate their commitment to giving back to the local community and the education sector.

Lynis Bassett, Chief Executive Officer, Class People says:
“We always strive to support our schools and teachers in whatever way we can. This is a fun way for the team to help educate and raise awareness, which will be documented on our social media platforms.”

While the current education system seems to be facing some difficulties, Class People are on hand to reassure those in the profession and those who hope to join by offering a positive and personal recruitment service.
