Preferred suppliers
If, on the very rare occasion, we choose to use an Agency/Employment Businesses or Recruitment Advertising Agencies.
We would first go to our current providers or those listed on the Crescent Purchasing Consortium www.thecpc.ac.uk. We ask that you respect the relationships which we have built up with our current providers, with whom we would always work with.

You also need to be aware that our legal team review all terms of business before we enter into any agreements. We must therefore insist that you do not contact any Wakefield College employee directly as they have no authority to enter in to agreement with you. All recruitment queries and communication should be directed to hr.recruit@wakefield.ac.uk.

Thank you for your understanding.
As a working mum, I’ve enjoyed the flexibility the College has offered me, which includes a generous holiday scheme, flexi-working and a great pension.
