"We're one of the most well-established Early Years recruitment agencies in Bristol."

The Founder of Class Recruitment has been reflecting on recent sector developments in the city, as well as proudly announcing that "we're one of the most well-established Early Years recruitment agencies in Bristol."

Karen Howe, who has been working in education recruitment since the 1990s, set up Class Recruitment in Clifton in 2009, and has seen the Early Years recruitment agency grow steadily year-on-year, as she commented:

"What sets us apart from other Early Years recruiters in Bristol has always been how passionate we are about the sector. We have focused from the start on providing last-minute help but also the ongoing continuity of nursery staff."

"Since the pandemic, we are seeing more and more Early Years settings requiring holiday cover, training cover and maternity cover," added Karen.

Nurseries in Bristol were traditionally very reliant on Early Years recruitment agencies, with the pandemic changing the dynamics of the sector.

"Compared to pre-2022, our team are now seeing better pay and improved benefits for candidates in Early Years settings," said Karen.

We are now involved with a wider variety of settings in Bristol than pre-Covid," she added.

The Early Years recruiters have expanded significantly in recent years, with additional areas being covered outside of Bristol, including North Somerset and Gloucestershire.

"We moved to larger office premises in Clifton in 2021, have taken on a new team member annually since then and will soon be recruiting another Early Years recruitment consultant," said Karen.

Class Recruitment places Early Years nursery staff across the following parts of Bristol:

Yate, Kingswood, Downend, Speedwell, Keynsham, Lyde Green, Emersons Green, Bradley Stoke, Filton, Horfield, Southmead, Clifton, Redland, Westbury, Stoke Bishop, City Centre, Southville, Bedminster, Knowle, Ashton Gate and Flax Bourton.

The team of Early Years recruiters in Bristol also help candidates to become Early Years compliant, ensuring they have everything they need to embark upon a successful and happy career in the sector.
