Agency Rankings

Forward Teaching was recommended to me by a colleague in a previous school and, from the outset, I am so glad it was! Having joined a couple of other agencies, I soon ditched them as they were simply no match for Lottie’s honest, down-to-earth and friendly manner. [...]

Red Box are by the far the best agency I have dealt with. Efficient and quick to respond, professional but also warm and friendly. Clearly a close knit and organised team which makes life so much easier. [...]

I have been working with Opogo for over 3 years and couldn’t recommend them enough. I have worked across many schools in London and over the time have built a great working relationship with the schools as well as the team at Opogo. [...]

Claire kept me constantly informed about all that was taking place during my application as an overseas teacher. It was a pleasure having teaming with Claire. It was not all smooth, but even when covid-19 derailed many plans, there was always a concerted effort to land me a good job. [...]

Vibe Tuition has supported a student of mine who was unable to attend school and access her education because of mental health issues. Vibe have been communicative, adaptable and creative in finding different ways to support our school in continuing to provide access to education. [...]

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!

Veritas is a fantastic agency, very friendly people. I contacted them seeking work in school administration, I have now gone on to work for Veritas in compliance and I love it. Would highly recommend.

Amazing agency especially Gagan Rura. Assisted me throughout the entire process and is such a good individual. Got me a really good placement, boosted my confidence, prepared me for the interview and really fought for me. [...]

I must say a resounding thank you to the staff of Vision Teaching for the phenomenal work that they doing as an agency. I have been signed with them for just over a year, as a supply teacher and I cannot say that I have any regrets whatsoever. [...]

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. [...]

This review is long overdue. I’ve been supported by Just Teachers West Yorkshire team since 2009 and they have served me with the same high quality of service and provided me with a varied and consistent supply of work. [...]

I have started working with CER in Leeds. The company so far is amazing, all the staff are supportive with quick responses and effective communication. They are completely flexible and amazing at finding work within a certain area or postcode and will try their best to always find work when needed, usually long placements too so you aren’t feeling anxious about whether you will have work. [...]

As a newbie supply, I didn't know what to expect and was, frankly, nervous about having to go to new and unfamiliar places at the drop of a hat (I know that's the point of supply teaching...) Also the insecurity of having left a long-term tenure and suddenly facing the possibility of not having regular work was scary. [...]

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. [...]

I love this freaking place! its amazing

One of the best agencies! Paige is very helpful and friendly!

Pay Attention! I have been working with career teachers for a while. I had declared that I'm not available for one day coverage and I'm interested only for week or month placements so they sent me in a school far away from my area making me pay a weekly tfl ticket and from the school I was informed that they only needed me for two days as they were waiting someone else to come with a contract the next day anyway. [...]

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. [...]

Fantastic agency to work for. Very friendly team that go above and beyond to listen to what kind of placements you want. I've been fully booked since I joined them. Jack is available pretty much 24/7 to answer queries and to provide support. [...]

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. [...]

Overall a disappointing experience.

I was contacted by a member to come into their office immediately so that they can go through my details and check my DBS etc. They harassed my work place for a “reference” and were in such a hurry, I supposed this was to find me work ASAP. [...]

I have worked with time plan for about 2 years now and they are absolutely amazing and perfect providing me with all the trainings and experiences that I need and very understanding and supportive. I [...]

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. [...]

I have been with smart teachers for about 4 months now I have had 5 different consultants. No communication back I was offered a job role in a school without a interview I accepted the role then 20mins later they called me and said you haven’t got the experience they want so they basically pulled out! I have now been told I have to wait till the last week of august to see if they will take me back on at that school. [...]

Fantastic Agency! They really care about finding the right job for you. I was totally put off teaching before I joined Destination. They were able to find a school that was perfect for me and I am now [...]

The service provided has been outstanding. A real bespoke approach from Olivia Louisy (Consultant) who called regularly to keep me updated and to generally see how things were. She could not have done enough for me. [...]

This agency is very 50/50. I started working for them last year, being placed in special needs schools, when Im not even qualified for it. I hated it but needed the money, even if it wasnt great. Then most recently i was placed in normal schools nd nurseries, which was a relief at first but then I was booked by a different staff who doesnt seem to know what shes doing. [...]

Under paid, and given TA positions when I asked for teaching. If I said no there was no work. When I commented on the difficulty of a school and the violence, the agent, just replied ‘that’s reception children’, I felt very unsupported and undermined. [...]
