I tentatively started my supply journey in January as I needed a day off a week for study. Brigid was recommended to me by two colleagues and she was known to one of my previous schools. "Don't worry, we'll call Brigid" was the usual cry if someone rang in sick! Brigid listened to what I needed and my preferred ages to work with. She set me up for a "job-share" supply post in a lovely school and also a regular day a week in another great school. I also had one day a week working wherever I was needed, the vast majority of these being booked in advance. Wow! What a fantastic experience it has been. I've visited some great schools and met some lovely adults and children. Above all this though - Brigid! I refer to her as "my handler" but she is so much more! She is super organised and appears to work every hour of the day! She has answered daft questions and made sure I knew exactly where I was going, what time I needed to be there, which year group I would be in and who I would be meeting. I was so nervous before I started. Would I have enough work? Oh yes - most definitely! How would I manage walking into a school "cold" and working with a strange class? Surprisingly ok - but it did make me realise that I prefer to be pre-booked. Brigid has been a key part of this great experience for me. She has been so reassuring, kind and patient. If I meet another supply from Engage, I say "Brigid?" and then we have a "Isn't Brigid great?" session! She really is an asset to the company. Oh, the other question I had was around money - she has paid a fair amount for the day's work, is all I can say - I have been happy with what I have been paid and it appears to be appropriate - she was also very upfront about what I would be paid and how I would be paid. Engage Education - do not let Brigid go! She's super and keeps her schools and her supply staff so happy!

Grace Muir is incredibly helpful in supporting me with finding placements. She was always approachable, professional, and quick to respond whenever I had questions. Grace made the whole process much easier and less stressful by providing clear guidance and encouragement throughout. I really appreciate the time and effort she put into helping me, and I’m very grateful for her support.

I have had a great experience with my consultant Grace Muir at Engage. She has been super supportive and communicated very clearly to keep me updated about any upcoming opportunities which I deeply appreciate. Grace genuinely listens to my preferences and works hard to find something that suits me. She is a reliable person and I am thankful for how approachable and understanding she is especially when it comes to availability or travel. I’m very grateful for her support and would highly recommend working with Grace Muir and the team at Engage.
