Leading the way in specialist Education Recruitment.

Today was my last day working for PR and it’s been a fantastic experience, thanks to Hannah Gray initially and then Luke Bottomley. Luke has encouraged me out of my comfort zone so many times and his last placement was certainly the best- I went to Gladstone Road for ‘two weeks, maybe four’ in October- finally left today!

Just wanted you to know how much

I’ve appreciated Luke’s help and encouragement.

Thank you to all at PR for finding me work. Here’s wishing you all the best for the future.

I started teaching in 1977 before you were all born probably , and supply has been the perfect end.

“It is with pleasure and pride that I write to say how very satisfied I am with the service being consistently given to me by yourself as my consultant at Principal Resourcing.  I joined as a secondary supply teacher nearly four years ago and I am delighted I did.  My bookings are matched well to my subject skills and I am rewarded professionally and financially for my services with a sensitive and friendly and efficient company.”

“This is my third year working for PR and the service has been first class. All staff in the Hull/ Scarborough office are polite, cheerful and do their best to find work, offer training and sort out any difficulties which may arise. I’ve been lucky enough to have Luke B as my main contact. He is eternally cheerful, upbeat and positive and has found me a good variety of roles.”

“Luke has always been professional, friendly, committed and will always sort out any queries quickly. He has secured a range of interesting work for me over the last few years. I would not hesitate to recommend Luke and Principal Resourcing to anyone considering working for a supply agency.”

“Over the last year we have had real ups and downs with COVID-related staffing, from requiring no cover at all due to the huge reduction in the number of external meetings and courses to the days when the Track & Trace app resulted in 9 staff needing to self-isolate for one week. Whatever our situation, Principal Resourcing has been able to meet our needs and Luke and the team have been incredibly flexible when the situation has been so fluid.”

“Having worked as a supply teacher for nearly 20 years I can only say that Luke is one of the most effective consultants I have had the pleasure to work with: caring, professional and most importantly, a real deliverer!”

“I am delighted with the way Principal Resourcing secured my furlough payment during the first lockdown. From the beginning of the lockdown, regular contact was maintained with me via email while waiting for government decisions during this most turbulent time. The emails not only gave me hope of financial help but the sense that the agency genuinely cared for my well being. This was confirmed to me when Luke Bottomley personally called to tell me I had been successfully furloughed.”

“The staff that were supplied by Principal Resourcing to help us with our LFD testing were fantastic. They worked alongside of our staff harmoniously, calmly and with purpose. Without their combined efforts and dedication to help us get through the testing period we would not have been able to achieve what we did. Thank you.”

“When I retired from full time teaching 5 years ago, I still wanted to be involved in education and teaching so I joined Principals.  The staff at Principals were so very friendly and supportive. Luke has been my primary contact at Principals for a number of years and he knows the kind of roles and timescales that best suit my needs.”

“I first came into contact with Luke from principal resourcing 2 years ago when working in a school office. His friendly nature, professional attitude and superb work ethic made booking supply teachers and teaching assistants a seamless experience. So after completing my own teaching qualification it was a simple choice to pick principal resourcing as the agency to represent me. The placements they have given me have suited my skill set perfectly and I have made great relationships with the teaching and support staff in those school.”

“I joined Principal Resourcing in September 2020, and since then they have provided a steady stream of assignments within my preferred area.  The staff and management are invariably approachable and accommodating, and they are always swiftly responsive to feedback.”

“Luke and the team have been amazing! They have been friendly, very supportive and fast to answer any queries. They were supper fast to place me in a school, I sign the contract on a Tuesday and on a Friday in the same week they call me to work in a Secondary school for a full week, which has been know renewed for a long term. Highly recommended.”

“Since starting in October I have found staff go above and beyond to not only provide weekly assignments but advice support at any time of day. Luke Bottomley as been an absolute credit  to Principal in not only being very professional but someone who will go that extra mile to get you the right assignments tailored to your skill set and at time a God send on a wake me up call!”

“I worked with Principal Resourcing this past academic year and have received absolutely fantastic service from the team. After spending a couple of weeks “on call” they placed me into a long term placement for the  rest of the year that was relevant to my specialism. Luke and the team are extremely supportive and friendly and have gone above and beyond for me this year. I look forward to continue working for Principal Resourcing in the next academic year.”

“Obviously, it is natural to be sceptical about anything today. Thanks to Principal Resourcing with the assistance of Luke Bottomley, I took a leap of faith, leaving a full-time permanent post to work for the agency ( I had from qualify as a Teacher, always had a full time permanent job). The company Principal Resourcing and the quality team of people, that work with the common goal of working for you as an individual, is unbelievable, so genuine, and helpful.”

“Having struggled to find an NQT position last year during covid I signed up to Principal Resourcing. Luke and the staff were incredibly friendly and useful. At the start of September I started doing some general cover at a lovely school through Principal Resourcing. After October half term I started teaching history at the same school, who have supported me in completing my NQT year. I definitely recommend Principal resourcing to people looking for long term work.”

“I have been with Principal Supply Agency for the past eighteen months and Luke has been one of my first contacts for a good proportion of this time. Luke has always been positive and enthusiastic and has given me many suitable placements which I have enjoyed completing.”

“I have worked with Principal Resourcing over the past ten years where I have always found their positivity, efficiency, professional and communication of an excellent standard. They explore what we are looking for in a candidate and then make relevant suggestions. During Covid19 their support has been unwavering, and they have gone the extra mile to support our college as and when needed.”

“I have worked closely with Luke and the team for the past few years. They are consistently helpful, polite and good humoured. They have always worked hard to secure the roles that I like and which are best suited to my skills.”
