Hi, I’m Emily. I manage The Supply Register’s South region, overseeing all desks and partnership executives who support our schools across this area.
Tell us about your past work experience.
Prior to working at The Supply Register, I started as a 1:1 Teaching Assistant Apprentice at the age of 18. I was working alongside a young girl with Down syndrome, and I stayed with her up until year 4 before I was asked to move to a different school within the MAT to become an HLTA. After several years of working in schools, I decided I wanted to take a trip to Australia for the summer holidays. I left in July 2018 and found myself still out there in November 2020. I was in Australia for a few years, and while I was there, I managed a 154-place childcare centre that was brand new. We were in the process of starting up, recruiting staff and making sure that we were compliant to all of the regulations. This was an incredible experience and I learnt a lot, which helped me gain my position within The Supply Register.
What does your day-to-day entail at The Supply Register?
Day to day at The Supply Register is never the same! Between finding the best quality staff, working with our panel of agencies, and ensuring that the trusts we partner with receive 5-star service, it can be a bit of everything!
How does working at The Supply Register compare to other employers?
The opportunities I have had at The Supply Register do not compare to those I have had at past employers. The autonomy, support and team mentality make it such a great place to work and grow your career.
How have you progressed since being with The Supply Register?
When I first started three years ago, I was a Junior Partnership Executive, and I was the only person on the team in the South West. Since then, I have worked hard to secure three promotions and expand the team, which is truly remarkable considering our position back in 2021.
What do you find to be most rewarding in your role?
There is nothing better than matching the perfect candidate with the perfect role. It’s the best part of the job knowing that the children are being provided with the best quality teachers and teaching assistants.
