We initially started working with Next Gen last academic year, we were in need of a teacher?with SEND experience at short notice. Finding the right candidate to cover a vacancy in our setting setting is usually really tricky, but the response time from Next Gen was quick, the meet & greet was set up efficiently and the candidate was a real success (we recruited the teacher recently and offered her a permanent contract)
After this initial success we approached Next Gen to source?some Learning Support Assistants (LSA's) . We were keen to find some male LSA's and Next Gen have provided these for us, they are reliable and attendance?is good.
We also have a second teacher now working with us daily via Next Gen, she is also very well suited to our provision and is very much a key part of our staff team.??
Communication with Next Gen is effective and most importantly, not overwhelming.? School?days are extremely busy and we do not have the capacity to answer numerous emails or phone calls, we just need a quick response when something is required.? And Next Gen provides this, not just in term time but also in non term time too.
