Recruitment and Retention in Special Educational Needs

The school is now in its 3rd year with Vetro Recruitment. My main point of contact with Vetro is Mr Ross Harries. Ross provides excellent service to the school and is always available to be contacted. This could be before the start of the school day, at the end of the working day, during the weekend and on occasions over the school holiday period. That, to me, shows commitment to the role. The quality of staff provided are always of the highest calibre with knowledge of the sector that we work in. Ross, will not send staff to school, who have no desire to work within the SEN sector. Ross is also visual at the school and regularly visits. This allows him to see the skill set of the staff we need at the school. On the odd occasion that there have been issues with Vetro staff, Ross has dealt with them professionally and quickly, ensuring that problems do not affect the service provided by Vetro. To summarise, Mr Ross Harries provides an excellent service to the school and certainly eases my workload.

Please accept this as our testimonial for Abi Harris at Vetro Recruitment. Abi is our link at Vetro Education for supply. We are very pleased that she has been able to meet our needs as and when requested, even when our requests have been very specific, particularly with SEN requirements. She is both cheerful and professional and not at all 'pushy' as I have found with other agencies. She has also been very honest if she doesn't think our needs will be met, which is rare, again unlike other agencies we have used who just send someone suitable or not!  We hope to continue this relationship in the future. Many Thanks, Natalee

We are very happy with Vetro and the service we have received.  From the start, Ross was very helpful and informative about the company and the service they offered.  When the time came to ask for supply staff in our nursery Ross certainly delivered. We received excellent staff who were able to cover at short notice and we even had continuity of receiving the same people. ​The ease of ringing or texting from home has made our lives much easier and we are confident with the service provided.  I am more than happy to recommend Vetro to any other nurseries looking for quality supply staff. 

Extremely happy with the service Ross Harries from Vetro Education provides for me at St Martins High. Very efficient and quick to sort any cover that I require and always sends quality staff to maintain our standards here. 

Abi is our consultant at Vetro Education.  She has provided us with office items that display Vetro’s contact details, her candidates bring their DBS’ with them and she has given her contact details so she can be contacted out of school hours.  These strategies have been introduced by Abi to enable us to contact Vetro and book supply (even at short notice) with ease and efficiency. Abi has taken the time to visit our school, she is friendly, efficient and helpful.  She is professional and approachable and always gives clear information about candidates and their availability.  It is always a pleasure to contact Abi 

I have found Abi a great consultant to work with.  As schools with last-minute sickness issues, it can be a stressful job for Abi but she always answers the phone with a bright demeanour and is always happy to help.  Always professional and tries her best to find what we need. 

We can always rely on Shawni at Vetro recruitment to ensure all our staffing requirements are met. Shawni is very efficient and always get back to us straight away.We would highly recommend Shawni and the Vetro Recruitment team to other schools who are wishing to recruit the best teaching staff.
