A BARNSLEY-based recruitment agency which places supply staff in schools has launched an appeal for more teachers to come forward and sign up for work.

Provide Education has seen a year-on-year rise in demand for its services since it was established in 2007.

The agency already works with more than 2,200 teachers, teaching assistants, cover supervisors, nursery nurses and other non-teaching staff, but needs more on its books to meet the requirements of its growing client list of more than 500 schools.
