Having worked with Apple previously, I knew that I was re-joining a fantastic company that really value and support their supply staff (particularly important during a pandemic!). Gemma, Ashley and Sam in particular have been so supportive of my decision to try something outside of teaching. I have had long chats with each of these lovely people about potential new avenues and it was through Gemma that I found my current employment at a nursery. I couldnt rate Apple a Day highly enough and would be very happy to work for them again in the future.

I moved to Wiltshire at the beginning of this year and signed up to work for Apple a day as a supply teacher. The interview process was professional yet enjoyable and the team got me out to work fairly quickly, placing me in appropriate roles based on my qualifications and experience. Recently they placed me in a role within a school which was literally my dream job description. I have, since then, been offered a permanent position within the school and it's all thanks to apple a day. So thank you all from the bottom of my heart. This agency is a pleasure to work with, highly recommended.
