Fantastic recruitment company for teachers

I had a great experience working with Ribbons & Reeves all thanks to Tom (and also their lovely staff who picked up the phone every time I called)! Tom was friendly, prompt at communicating and helpful in tricky situations. Within 2 weeks of getting in touch with them, I secured a job that met my criteria.
Thank you, and a big thanks to Tom!

Great staff and efficient

My experience with Ribbons & Reeves has been great. They promptly got in touch with me about the roles I applied for and made sure to send my details/applications to the area and specific titles I wanted. Staff were always in touch with great communication and enthusiasm. Because of their quick work I got a job in a great school with the exact role I wanted, after only a few weeks. Big thanks to Lucy and Tom!

Fantastic service

Had a great experience working with Charlie from Ribbons & Reeves. He arranged for me to have viewings/tours of the schools as that was something I wanted before applying for any position. He listened to my needs from a school and tried to suit them in where possible. I was able to view and interview quickly before half term. Great communication throughout the whole process. Thank you!

Brilliant Experience!!!!

I have loved my experience of working with Tom at Ribbons & Reeves! I have worked with many other agencies and agents across my years of teaching but no one has compared to Tom. He really took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for in a school. Tom never pressured me to accept an offer that I didn't feel confident accepting (I've worked with other agencies who have been quite difficult if I didn't accept a job at any old school!). Most importantly, Tom always took the time to talk to me before an interview, would be incredibly supportive and encouraging so I'd be in the best mindset for an interview which would later land me a job! Couldn't recommend Ribbons & Reeves and Tom enough!

GET IN TOUCH WITH TOM!!!

I would highly recommend Ribbons & Reeves. It has been a pleasure putting my trust in Tom. He has been FANTASIC! Tom has helped me secure my first ECT role at an amazing school after having my first interview. I cannot praise him enough! He has truly been supportive and encouraging throughout and ensured that he matched my needs with the school. Tom made the whole process smooth sailing and provided superb advice and preparation prior to the interview. He has gone beyond and above my expectations - THE BEST OF THE BEST!

Highly recommend

I have had a really positive experience working with Charlie from Ribbons and Reeves. He took the time to learn about me and understand the kind of role I was looking for and found me a great new teaching role. Charlie requested the information I needed for the interview and made the communications with the school easy. He also understood the pressures of school work commitments whilst job searching and was very accommodating. Additionally he showed great depth of knowledge of the education sector and the hiring processes. Highly recommended.

Amazing company - thoroughly recommend

Amazing company - thoroughly recommend. I reached out during the pandemic regarding a new teaching role and was contacted by Melissa, who was incredible in supporting my search. She organised interviews for me for a new post and I was successful in the process. Thanks to her I have a new role for September and I am absolutely delighted. It would not have been possible without her support!

I have had an amazing experience with Ribbons and Reeves and I am so glad that that I made the decision to sign on with them. Not only did Charlie put in great effort to efficiently find me teaching roles at impressive schools but he also made sure to support me and check up on me throughout the progress. I have now landed my dream teaching role because of Ribbons and Reeves and I could not be happier. I received a very supportive and efficient experienced with the company and would highly recommend it to others.

Very helpful and professional

I had an amazing experience being supported by the staff at Ribbons & Reeves. After initially connecting on LinkedIn and organising a phone call to discuss opportunities, they rapidly got in touch with details of a suitable school. We were then able to quickly organise an interview and secure a role at the school. From first connecting to accepting the role this occurred over less than a 2 week period and I would highly recommend them.

First teaching interview

I have just secured my first teaching role thanks to Ribbons and Reeves. I was understandably nervous about the process as it was the first time I had gone through the teaching interview process. However, thanks to Charlie I felt completely prepared and he was always available to speak to if I had any questions or if I was overthinking anything! The entire process was easy and quick and would definitely work with the company again in the future.

I have just secured my first role as an ECT thanks to Ribbons and Reeves!! All the team truly care about you as a person and spend the time getting to know who you are and exactly what you are looking for. This is actually my second job that I have found because of Ribbons and Reeves and couldn't recommend them enough! Matt was particularly helpful and guided me through the whole process, from interview prep, calming my nerves, advise and answering all the questions I had. THEY ARE GREAT!!!!

Cannot fault the service

The whole process was so quick and simple. The first school suggested met all my criteria and seems an ideal fit. Tom really made me feel at ease, listened to what I was looking for and was always willing to give advice or offer more support. Cannot identify any faults or suggestions improvements. All the time and help is very much appreciated and I’d recommend the recruitment agency to anyone considering to explore other school options.

Ribbons and Reeves Education Team

It has been an absolute pleasure finding employment through Ribbons and Reeves. They have been extremely helpful, understanding and patience which has led me to the position that I’m currently in. Matt took all of 1 week to place me in accordance to my skill set and set up a taster day within that same week. Thanks again to Matt for all his help. And to Charlie and Melissa for also being really lovely.

I was interested in a teaching assistant role and Matt was able to help me get a job very quickly. He was on hand if I needed any help and he helped me complete everything. As a result, I was able to start working within 5 days.

Super speedy job allocation

Super speedy job allocation, very professional and helpful couldn’t ask for a better person (Melissa) to help me on my career search, I didn’t have to say to much but she found the perfect job for me. Really, I’m very happy and excited to start my new journey! I would recommend their services to anyone who needs help in securing a teaching position. Delighted with how quick the process was, great and you can feel the organisation and support system of the company. They are great if you need help you know where to go, don’t question it just go with it!

Amazing!

I have had an amazing experience with Ribbons & Reeves. Within having my first phone call with Tom he had secured me 2 job interviews within the space of an hour. He was so lovely, supportive and really helped with my confidence. I was offered and accepted the first interview I had through Tom's encouragement. He also went out of his way to help me try and obtain a TA position prior to my ECT role. Would and have recommended!
