Meet our new education sponsor- Nicky Keller from Education Resourcing Ltd

Education Resourcing Limited is an education recruitment agency that offers an alternative solution, supplying a service to schools in all of Lincolnshire.Firstly I would like to introduce myself the founder member of Education Resourcing Limited, my name is Nicky Keller and I have over twelve years experience within the recruitment industry of which,the last seven have been in the education sector.

It is my belief that all too often schools and teachers are not treated with the respect they deserve and that both rates for supply charged to schools and those paid to supply teachers are not always as they should be. With this in mind, I decided that a teacher supply agency that would undertake to operate withfair play should be created. Education Resourcing opened for business in 2002 and to date has a thirty percent market share. I pledge to pay rates equivalent to that of the LEA based upon experience and to only ever charge rates that are commensurate with the relevant experience of the supply teacher. This is vitally important as I know that a good percentage of the two hundred plus teachers that I have registered, have told me that they do not perform to the same level of teaching when on a reduced rate which is frequently paid by other supply agencies.

We seem to be facing a bartering of rates paid and this definitely impacts directly to the education our children are receiving. I ask you a question; would you perform the same duties for a lesser rate of pay? My supply teachers are always willing to go the extra mile due to the fact they get paid and treated correctly. This also forms part of my interview discussions with new supply teachers that I register. I offer a high quality professional service with an emphasis on a personable and friendly approach. Education Resourcing was formed to be a local, low profit making company aiming to help the community. My aim is to keep my costs low which in turn benefits both teachers and schools who do not have to pay for my overheads and expenses through lesser rates paid or higher rates charged. I take great delight in communicating and establishing relationships with both the supply teachers and schools that I work with.

You can read what they think about me on my website as I have over 60testimonials about how I always go that extra mile. For me this isn't just a business but a passion. My mission statement is to never become so large a company that I would lose my personal contact.
