Agency Rankings

Since starting with Forward last year I have been very happy with the agency. The staff are reliable and the work has been fulfilling and varied. They are by far the best agency I have worked with.

I had the best experience with Red Box. The staff are super friendly! I genuinely can’t recommend them enough, nicest people and so understanding. You are never without work. And your needs are always taken into consideration. [...]

In October I applied to various teaching agencies in order to gain some experience working in schools. However, most did not even call back. I found out about Opogo via a friend and contacted them the next day. [...]

I have had an absolutely fantastic experience with Hourglass Education. I cannot praise them highly enough. They are careful and attentive, keep in regular contact, highly professional and genuinely interested in securing the best position for your needs. [...]

Vibe Teaching Agency was actually the second agency I signed up to, but since the start of the school year they have been the only one I have been working with. They were much more personal with their approach which I appreciated. [...]

Thanks to the Impact Teachers, especially Louise I have got a fantastic job in such an incredible short time. The co-operation was amazing, the service very fast.Highly recommended!

The staff are always polite, professional and happy to talk. The schools I have worked for through TARA have on the whole been good and have made supply teachers feel welcome. Work is plentiful and the consultants go out of their way to match your talents to the school. [...]

I had an amazing experience with Horizon teachers all thanks to Danny! He was quick with responses, always kept me updated and overall extremely helpful and supportive. I was registered with Horizon Teachers on a Friday and the following Tuesday I had an interview and now have a new job role starting next week! There is not a single negative thing to say about my experience with Horizon teachers and I have Danny to thank for that. [...]

With Veritas, you feel valued as they have a genuine duty of care. I was one of the lucky ones to have Laura Barwick as my consultant as she showed nothing but dedication, commitment and professionalism throughout my time with them. [...]

I was signed up with aspire last October 2019 with Rob Holland and within a week or so he called to say he’d got me a temporary position within a school that could lead to more regular/permanent work with security and general maintenance tasks. [...]

Working With ASQ. When I moved to London from Derby. I had just completed my PGCE. I was looking for several qualities in my first school. 1) A school in reasonable traveling distance. 2) One that would give me strong NQT training. [...]

I found CER Excellent, the recruitment consultant was professional and also helped me when i called up with concerns or inquiries. i definitely recommend them highly and I felt supported really well the [...]

Work is plentiful but requests for pay rises (Watford) are unheard of, despite many years passing. They have fallen behind other agencies with their rates.

I have been working for ITN Mark on Fridays since December and have been to both schools and nurseries. Eamon is always very helpful, positive, friendly and keen to find work for me! He’s always keeping me updated with possible work opportunities and feedback from past placements. [...]

A great Teaching agency. Very effective with a friendly and professional approach. I definitely recommend it as they have been great with me from the beginning. I was particularly impressed with how easy it was to get in touch with them and how fast they found me a suitable school. [...]

I have been working for this agency awhile and I have found them to be dishonest and deceitful. They lie in order to maximize their income, not yours. Also, there are consultants there that have their [...]

Apollo Bridgend- great service, registration was easy, really friendly consultants would highly recommend. Brilliant from start to finish

Just a waist of time. Staff were kind and professional at the registration process. Then they called me for a couple of jobs that didn't match my enquiry and qualifications. Fortunately I found a school via my personal search. [...]

PPA Education Limited is a very excellent Teaching or Education agency that offers brilliant high quality services with a high level of customer care or support. PPA Education Limited helped me in my time of need and the assignments or work I was given really sustained me and eventually led to the full time or permanent employment that I enjoy now. [...]

Excellent supply agency. Consistently provide me with work at a good rate of pay. Friendly and profession office staff.

I have so much praise for SANZA especially for my consultant Paige Ferro, she has been a great support to me, finds great schools to work at. All the schools and the areas I need due to childcare all these are taken in consideration when I have dealt with her. [...]

I have been with Classroom teachers for the past three years. I must say it is the best agency I have ever worked with. Especially my consultant , Amba, goes extra mile to help . As a SEN Home Tutor , it is very difficult to find work as it is so limited and "niche" and not other agencies deal with vacancies as such, but Classroom , is one of the best agencies to deal with this kind of work. [...]

Stay clear of this agency! The primary consultant girl got me to register for a 'job' that didn't end up existing. She was then rude and very disrespectful when I caught her out on the lie. The worst consultant i have worked with. [...]

I rate reaching personnel 5 star Worked for them since 2014 Good rates of pay

how can i put this in my own words... I never got paid for the job I did for TimePlan

I write this review because I want you to know that recruiters from So Smart can be very rude and disrespectful. I am experienced and qualified, so I applied. You will agree that So Smart have a very powerful marketing: "An agency by teachers, for teachers". [...]

I had a really nice recruiter called Adam Lucas help me to find my dream job at a place where I am respected and treated so well. Adam was really friendly and helpful. Adam called me before I went for my interview and afterwards. [...]

Destination have been a wonderful agency to work for. They have strong relationships with lots of great schools across East London and have always got me all the work I needed. When I started doing supply I registered with 4 different agencies and Destination were so outstanding that I now only use them. [...]

I turned up to their office and no one knew who I was supposed to see there, because the invitation to come to their agency had been made over the phone. I told them that I had already filled in the online registration form and they still couldn't find me. [...]

I did one days work for them in Liverpool . I was a newly Qualified Teaching Assistant. I was sent to a nursery even though I wanted Primary School work. I was not working and told the jobcentre of the days work I had done which was fine as they deduct what you earn. [...]

I've been working for Randstad Education Crawley for over 6 months and have always found everyone at that Office very reliable and professional - Stine in particular with her helpfulness and cheerful manner [...]

Fantastic agency. Friendly, professional, having your best interests at heart. My experience is they are up-front and honest; which is a refreshing change. Great to work for.

A real waste of time and a group of liars. No work at all no matter the degrees or the experience. Definitely not recommended.

Remedy is very probably the worst of the current teaching agencies. The boss is a bully and a tyrant who enjoys leaning on and pressurising people to get his own way. The jobs that I was offered were way out of my area, and the payment seemed to diminish with every week. [...]
