Driving and industrial recruiter Forde Recruitment has expanded into the education sector.

Forde Education will supply teachers, classroom assistants, nursery nurses, special needs workers and support staff to employers throughout South and West Yorkshire and North East Derbyshire. The division is particularly seeking multilingual teachers, especially in Urdu, Punjabi, Romany and eastern European languages to teach in schools with ethnic minorities.

Forde Recruitment began its life in 1991 and is established as a driving, industrial, secretarial and commercial agency. Paul Forde, managing director at Forde Recruitment, says: “We saw a chance to develop the business by diversifying into the education sector, so grabbed the opportunity with both hands.”
