Engage Education Omdömen 

Ive worked with a few different agencies over the years and Engage is definitely the best I’ve worked with.

The pay is good, selection of schools is great and I have great communication with my contact Darren.

It’s a great agency and I would definitely recommend!

I have worked with engaged education for 3 years now, I am really happy with this agency. Very supportive.

Engage Education have been really great to work with! I’ve had really good communication with Darren and he’s been super accommodating working around my schedule with my son but still being able to get me into work. They’ve always been supportive, made sure to check in to see how I’m doing and been nothing but professional. I feel genuinely seen and appreciated working for them and I can’t wait for the new term to start in September!

I have had a great experience with Engage Education and Darren has always been available to answer queries and deal with admin related problems.
Looking forward to my time with Engage Education in the next year ahead .

I have had a wonderful time with Engage all throughout the year. Darren Healey and Dylan have both been fantastic to work with and have consistently provided me with work in good quality schools. I can’t wait to take part in another year with the company.

Engage education are a fantastic agency to work with. Having been with them for years I wouldn't use anyone else. Darren Healey is a legend he is very professional, reasonable, understanding, I have gained invaluable knowledge and experience I have made lifelong friends at my work placement. Thanks so much for everything much appreciated for all your help and support this academic year.

I would strongly advise all educators to be cautious supply teaching with Engage Education. I had three safeguarding allegations that I firmly believe were unfounded and stemmed from the class not wanting me as their teacher, likely due to a significant difference in expectations compared to their previous teacher, who had a more relaxed classroom environment — something SLT and TA's shared with me directly. In my entire teaching career, this had never happened. I didn't think much of it and I assumed the matter would be resolved fairly through an objective investigation.

Unfortunately, the investigation lacked the necessary thoroughness, and key points I raised were not fully addressed. Since then, I have gone on to be a Designated Safeguarding Lead myself, so I understand the actions that should have been taken. The more I think about it, the more I realise how poorly the whole situation was handled.

Firstly, the investigation itself lacked the necessary thoroughness. Despite a two-year track record with the agency and no prior safeguarding issues, multiple concerns were raised against me in a very short period at one specific school. This unusual cluster of allegations, as detailed (but ignored) in my appeal, warranted a much closer and more critical examination than it received.

The investigation noted that a significant portion of the claims might be false. It was also stated that the school reportedly failed to respond to requests for clarification. This lack of follow-up from the school, and the decision to substantiate the concern without conclusive evidence, is deeply concerning and suggests a lack of thoroughness in the process. Another part of the investigation said the outcome was based on a "balance of probability" which was heavily influenced by the testimonies of young children... hardly reliable evidence to say something is substantiated.

Engage Education's response to my initial appeal barely addressed the key points I raised, including consistency of evidence, potential biases, and lack of additional information from the school. The email received simply stated that concerns have been recorded as "low-level" and that safeguarding concerns had not been confirmed, while simultaneously requiring safeguarding training "following a low-level concern being substantiated." This appears contradictory and caused further confusion, as the language used implied a substantiated outcome, despite being labelled ‘low-level’, and the email fails to provide any detailed re-evaluation of the evidence or acknowledgement of the significant issues I raised regarding the investigation's fairness and thoroughness. This lack of direct engagement significantly impacts professional standing and raises serious doubts about the diligence of the process.

While I fully support the principle of taking safeguarding allegations seriously, I believe Engage Education’s investigation lacked the diligence required to ensure fair outcomes. I urge the agency to review its processes to ensure greater transparency, thoroughness, and responsiveness to appeals. Educators considering working with Engage Education should be aware of these concerns. I would like to clarify that this review reflects my personal experience and perspective dealing with the South East Branch of Engage Education.

Working for Engage Education was an awesome experience. I was guided and supported throughout the process of finding employment. I worked directly with Amber Cloona as my agent. She provided me with a great opportunity, but beyond that she was always helpful and responsive if I needed anything.

Very poor communication
They answer calls very rudely
they dont answer and not helping at all
i would say please do register with any other agency
Very very bad experience

Athena has been really supportive in helping with Supply roles. She has checked my wellbeing and given me positive and encouraging comments. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with her.

Alice Thwaites is a fantastic professional. She was amazing all the time, She support me with a wide range of information as well as with a great advice. I am so happy to have her with me during this process. I just want to say to hear THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING. You are awesome. I was so lucky with all the help you gave me.

I've had a great experience with Engage Education. The team is genuinely friendly and supportive, and they really take the time to understand your preferences and needs. My consultant has been amazing—very understanding and always willing to help. They matched me with a lovely school that suits me perfectly. I truly appreciate their effort in finding the right fit and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a teaching role!

Athena Japhta has been a great help in finding me a suitable tutoring placement, 5*, would recommend!

Athena has been nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we connected, she offered genuine support, honest advice, and constant encouragement. She took the time to truly understand me and what I was looking for, and made the whole process feel so much less stressful.

Even when things didn’t go the way I hoped at one point, she never let me lose confidence. Her positivity and dedication kept me going. You can tell she really cares, and that makes all the difference.

This agency is exceptional, and Athena is a real credit to it. I honestly couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Thankyou Athena :) x

Exceptional help and support in finding my ideal job.

I have been working with both Amber Cloona and Scarlet Cloona with Engage. They were instrumental in me getting my latest position. They have both been quick to respond to e-mails, and gave me a massive amount of support for the interview and onboarding process. I’d wholeheartedly recommend either of them if you are trying to find a perfect position for yourself and are feeling overwhelmed with the job search.

I cannot recommend Jack highly enough! From the very first conversation, he was professional, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right role. He took the time to understand my experience and what I was looking for in a new opportunity.

Communication was excellent throughout the process, always keeping me informed. Thank you again for your dedication and kindness.

Engage education is blessed with amazing, dedicated, friendly and most importantly, courteous members of staff with the capacity and strong network to help you secure your dream roles in the education sector

Engage Education has honestly been so amazing, they have been so supportive from the day I signed up. To think that I got a position at a school ten minutes away from my house through them in less than two months is fantastic! I know they fought on my behalf, especially Ambar and Suela. Thank you so much for this great experience.

A good agency for supply work, clear and transparent.
Communication is very good knowing you have a dedicated recruitment personnel working with you so you know who to contact. Grace Lampard at Engage was very helpful and always communicated with me well to advise of any work available.
