I just wanted to give an honourable…

I just wanted to give an honourable mention to Chris. I remember the first ever time I spoke to Chris, it was over the phone he came across very polite and easy to talk to. This made me ever so comfortable to talk about myself as I’m sure we can all agree it’s not always to do so.

From the get go Chris has kept me in the loop about everything regarding anything to do with my registration to Engage education. Even on days were there isn’t a specific update, he would just ring me and to reassure me that he hasn’t forgot about me, some process do take long. This decreased my anxiety and stress levels massively, as it was a very stressful time for me, being out of employment. I remember when I was waiting for my DBS to be processed, I think at the time it had been just over 5 weeks I had spent waiting for it to be processed. Again Chris rung me to just to reassure me and explain that there is a way to speed up the whole process, which I wasn’t aware of at all.

Overall, I feel like I’ve know Chris for a long time to be honest, even though I have never met him in person. On every single phone call he comes across ever so friendly, calm, and professional at the same time. Chris has presented me with a massive opportunity and he has always kept communicating with me at all times during this whole process. He’s always asking how I got on during shift checking if I enjoyed it. I’ve got to a point where I just feel like I’m talking to one of my friends when I’m talking to him, only because he has made it comfortable enough for me to feel like that. Personally, I feel like he is true representation of what your company is, a proper genuine and nice person. He takes time to listen to what I have to say as well. With this opportunity that he has found for me, he did yet again reassure me that even if it doesn’t go my way, there is still another opportunity waiting for me and not to be disheartened.

I’ve been working with Engage Education…

I’ve been working with Engage Education in Leeds as a Cover Supervisor, and honestly, it’s been a really good experience so far. The process has been smooth and the communication is clear, which makes a big difference.
Chris Rushton, has been especially great. He’s very approachable, helpful, and always positive. Whenever I’ve had a question or needed support, he’s been there, and his friendly, easygoing nature makes working with Engage feel comfortable rather than stressful.
Overall, I feel supported and valued. Genuinely, happy working with Engage Education and would recommend them to anyone considering agency work in schools.

My experience so far with Engage

I learned about Engage Education through a fair at my university. Among other agencies, they stood out the most to me and from the get go, they were quick to respond to my message. They've been super supportive in every step of the way. My consultant Laura has been in touch with me whenever I needed advice and support and even connected me to fellow Canadian teachers in my area. I could not recommend Engage more, I feel so lucky to have found them.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with… Angelina Moody

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Angelina and I truly couldn’t recommend her more. From our very first conversation, she was not only professional and knowledgeable but also exceptionally kind and genuinely committed to helping me find the right role. Even when I ultimately accepted a permanent position outside of Engage Education, she was nothing but supportive and sincerely happy for me.

Working with Jack Hope at Engage…

Working with Jack Hope at Engage Partners has been an absolute pleasure. Jack has been consistently supportive, proactive, and dedicated throughout the entire process. His communication is clear and timely, and he has made every step feel easy and well-guided. Jack has been fantastic to work with over the past couple of years. He has found me a couple of really good roles, and what I appreciate most is how carefully he listens to the type of position I’m looking for. Jack always takes into account my preferred commute time, which is very important to me, and he consistently finds roles that fit both my skills and my travel needs. I’m genuinely grateful for his help and would highly recommend Jack to anyone looking for a reliable and professional recruitment experience.

Best Employment Agency I have ever worked for

To start with whilst registering there was strict safeguarding/DBS checks made.
My Consultant Jack Hope is so very helpful and informative and has placed me in the perfect school. He always goes the extra mile to ensure details and updates are provided in a timely manner. I am very happy to work for Engage Education.

Best Agency

​Exceptional Recruiter Support: A recurring point of praise is the personal, attentive service provided by their consultants. Recruiters are often described as being professional, highly organized, and genuinely dedicated to finding the right fit for the candidate, not just filling a vacancy. Thanks to Jack Hope who has been really helpful throughout my time with Engage.

Chris Rushton

I've never had a better experience with a teaching agency than l've had with Engage Education. From day one, Chris Rushton has been nothing short of outstanding. He is genuinely one of the most supportive, professional, and proactive consultants I've ever worked with. He checked in regularly, listened to what I wanted, and made sure every placement suited my needs perfectly.
I originally approached Engage Education looking for more stability, and Chris went above and beyond to deliver exactly that-and more. He's incredibly organised, always quick to respond, and truly cares about your wellbeing and success. It's rare to find someone who not only does their job well but genuinely puts in the effort to ensure you're happy and confident in every role.
Thanks to Chris, l've found consistency, supportive schools, and a renewed sense of confidence in my work. I am honestly so happy and proud to be part of Engage Education, and I couldn't recommend them highly enough. If you want an agency that listens, supports, and truly values you, this is the one.
