Whitburn Academy Year 11 & 13 Mock Interview Event

Laura supported our Year 11 & 13 Mock Interview Event here at Whitburn Academy today and did a fantastic job supporting our students. She went above and beyond by filling gaps caused by a couple of other provider absences which was very much appreciated and meant that all students had a positive experience. Her support is very much appreciated.

I was working within 1 week of signing up with Education World!

I signed up, my DBS was approved & I was working straight away! I got made redundant from my old job it was such peace of mind to be able to join the agency. I can't thank Amy enough for helping me find a placement that suited me, I was able to try different placements and pick the one I liked best, I am now working at a lovley school & able to pick days that suit me per week which works perfectly!

Thank you, Amy at Education World!

This is my first time working for this agency and I wouldn’t look to work in another as this has been by far the best. Everyone has been professional and thorough through the registration with great communication. Matt Marlow has been my main contact and he has been extremely supportive and helpful at every step with regular check-ins (he’s also just really cool to chat to). I honestly couldn’t be happier.

Excellent Employee support

Excellent Employee support
In the early stages when I registered with Education World as a full time student, getting shifts to work was a problem as most schools were looking for full time teaching assistants. Emma Kemp, consistently assured me of finding part time roles which indeed happened. Her regular updates and quick responses to queries were really encouraging. I have recommended Education World to others and will keep doing so for their excellent employee support. However, there is more room for improvement.

Professional, Friendly and Determined teaching agency

From the initial phone call with Emma at Education World up until my time now, it has been absolutely wonderful. I cannot fault Education World.
Emma has been professional, courteous and extremely dedicated to finding the most suitable role for my requirements. She communicated each step and always updated me throughout the registration process and when navigating roles that she put me through.
I've been fortunate to have worked a few day to day roles in between long term roles. My current role that Education World put me through has now offered me a permanent contract and I am grateful for Emma for the many discussions with the headteacher to work out the best working situation after coming off maternity leave.
Education World set out clearly my pay and conditions. What they say you will get is what you'll be paid with no agency or umbrella fees deducted.
I have been very happy over the years and I fully recommend them for anyone who would like to work within the education sector.

5 stars for Education World!

I’m really enjoying my supply work through Education World. Emma really listens to the sort of work I’m wanting and is very proactive in seeking out extra bookings. The schools I’ve worked at through the agency have all been an absolute pleasure to be in, I’ve not had one bad experience!
The company is very professional, always returning calls and keeping me up to date with work searches. Emma is super bubbly, yet incredibly efficient at her job - making communication so easy. Without a doubt, Education World is the best teaching agency I’ve worked for and I would highly recommend them to any teacher who’s looking for either day to day supply, or long term placements. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Caring consultants

Education World are a reliable and proactive recruitment consultancy who place education staff with schools. They care about teacher wellbeing, work hard on your behalf, and
Emma, my consultant, was thorough and consistent about negotiating the correct pay scale for me after AWR started on one longer term placement with one school and she cared about how supply staff are treated.

I've been there since june

I have alot of difficulties in myself and my own family that sometimes effect my work, but Emma is so kind and understanding which makes me feel so free and I control of the work I do. Not once has she ever got upset when I couldn't do something, or get myself in a tizz. I've really enjoyed every job I've taken.

Helpful, Effective Service

Tiddlywinks Centre is a children’s not for profit organisation providing childcare & family support to families in Sheffield.
As an organisation, we have always employed staff through direct recruitment. Due to the current challenges in staff recruitment in the sector we decided to explore the use of an agency. After meeting with James Bowskill, and seeking a recommendation from another nursery setting, we decided to try recruiting through Education World. Education World have offered a professional and responsive service. We currently have a nursery nurse practitioner on a Temp to perm contract.
We would recommend Education world to any other nursery provision seeking support with recruitment.

Great experience

After initially being sceptical of a recruitment agency James and his team soon changed my opinion. James is extremely helpful, open and honest and has found us great practitioners that meet our requirements. James communicates with us weekly to ensure we are supported and it really has taken the pressure of us to recruit staff. I would defiantly recommend Education World to help with all your recruitment needs.

Nursery Practitioners

Fenwood nursery work really closely with James and the team from EW. I can honestly say they helped us to survive last term. With the demand for nursery places and the shortage of staff, they were fantatsic. James has also managed to find us some fanatsic permanent staff members. Would 100% reccommend for any nurseries/schools to use!

Thanks to Richard and EW my move to the UK was very smooth. Richard was such a great support to me with finding the perfect school which catered to my personality. He was a very considerate mentor. Very quiet, pleasant and supportive. I really appreciate the one-on-one sessions including the quality of his presentation and opportunity call as well as interview prep sessions which really made me comfortable and ready to make this step.
