I started working at engage in July of 2023. My process of signing up was very easy and straight forward. I signed up with Ben Gardner and he was very helpful and very supportive through my journey. Since I have been working he has also been very helpful and offered me loads of work. Would definitely recommend working with engage.

Joanne from Engage Education rang me on November 7th after receiving my CV. I had no experience in education but knew I wanted to work with kids after being a volunteer youth worker for over a year.She created a file on their system for me immediately and arranged for a DBS check to be sent off asap. Joanne got me in contact with her colleague Jessica who was working with a school that she thought I would be well suited to. I interviewed with the school and started work as a TA on November 21st!I am very happy with the role found for me, especially considering it took only two weeks! I cannot recommend Engage Education enough!

Ellie is the best agent I have ever worked with at any agency! First of all she’s one of the most loveliest women I’ve ever met, she always makes me feel confident In what I’m doing by always keeping me in the loop about anything and everything. I was caught a little off guard with some information at my work place and she made me feel so at ease and as soon as she could, she got in contact with the school and then messaged me straight after so on my break I could feel better! Ellie always goes the extra mile for me and I can only imagine anyone! Ellie always has kind words to put a smile on my face and she clearly works extremely hard as she could have put me in any school, but she didn’t. She found the best fit for me and the school and in my opinion that makes her the best at her job! She’s so helpful. Ellie even offered to take time out of her day to help me prep for any interviews after my 12 weeks if the school ask for that. This is due to her experience in those scenarios. Ellie always makes herself available with very prompt replies which can only make someone feel relaxed. I didn’t know what I had to do with the timesheets and Ellie did it for me because she still wanted me to get paid. She also sent me an email showing me how to do it so I could for the future which was very helpful. The system was down last week so I couldn’t do my timesheet. I was fully prepared to do the timesheet the week after as couldn’t before. Ellie already chose to do it for me. Ellie is clearly a very thoughtful and caring lady who puts others first and is very approachable and easy to work with! She puts others first and in my opinion she definitely deserves some kind of reward herself because you can see with Ellie she isn’t just the best at her job. She shows how amazing her personality is and how she is as a person which reflects in her job working for Engage Education and having such a stand out personality makes her even better at her job and makes me better at mine having her help me! She is a delight to work with and I think she’s amazing in every sense of the word! She’s always thinking of me first in everything she does for the short term and the long term and for that she definitely deserves for me to give her the best review as she deserves it ☺️

I have had the most pleasant experience with Ben Gardner from engage he has been so supportive and motivated to get me started. He has constantly kept in contact with me and made sure he has done the most to get everything ready for me to start working. Would definitely recommend Ben if you want to get started working with a school. He has helped find me the most convenient school to work at and has been so friendly throughout the journey.

A very professional agency. Ellie Stevens has been a complete source of support throughout the proccess, from application stage to engagement. She always replies promptly and appropriately to emails and calls and is efficient in directing queries to other departments when required. The application was easy to navigate my way through and they offered multiple training courses in order to prepare me for the forthcoming placement. I would recommend this agency to anyone looking for quality placements. Thank you once again Ellie.
Hazel G.
Jess at Engage has been absolutely fab! From our first phone call to talking me through onboarding and getting me into schools, she's been so helpful and happy to help with anything. She always keeps me up to date with bookings and any relevant information I need, and I'm never short of work which is really great - I've gotten so much experience since working with Engage and it's been so straightforward. I've even recommended it to my fellow student teachers at uni as a great way to get into the classroom!
Yasmin R.
Ben was absolutely excellent! He is friendly and efficient and genuinely interested in making sure people get into the right jobs!

Jessica did an amazing job in helping me find work back in education. After being out of the education sector for the last 2 years, I was struggling to find work again. However, I sent my CV over and Jess helped me to secure work in a short space of time. I highly recommend Engage Education. Very friendly and helpful staff. Thank-you for helping me get back in to education and in such a lovely setting too.

Engage education has been a pleasure to work with if it wasn’t for Ben Gardner's invaluable assistance he played a pivotal role in helping me secure a teaching assistant position. His unwavering support, insightful advice, and guidance throughout the application process were truly exceptional. Ben's expertise and dedication are second to none, and I am immensely grateful for his instrumental role in my career advancement. His mentorship has been a game-changer, and I couldn't have asked for a better advocate.

I recently joined Engage Education as a Cover Supervisor, and I must say the entire process was incredibly easy and smooth. Chris Rushton, my main point of contact, played a pivotal role in ensuring a hassle-free experience from start to finish.Chris Rushton's assistance was invaluable throughout the entire onboarding process. He was responsive, supportive, and provided clear guidance at every step. His professionalism and dedication made me feel confident and well-supported as I embarked on this new opportunity.Working as a Cover Supervisor through Engage Education has been a delight. The company's commitment to quality is evident in the seamless booking process and the excellent schools they collaborate with. I appreciate the convenience of simply going to schools to cover for teachers on leave, and the positive atmosphere in these institutions reflects the company's dedication to providing a quality educational experience.What impressed me the most is how well Engage Education and Chris Rushton accommodated my busy schedule. They were flexible and understanding, ensuring that my work as a Cover Supervisor aligns seamlessly with my other commitments. This level of cooperation has made my experience with Engage Education truly enjoyable and stress-free.In conclusion, I highly recommend Engage Education to anyone seeking a Cover Supervisor position. The professionalism, efficiency, and support provided by Chris Rushton and the entire team have exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a company that values your time, understands your schedule, and ensures a smooth process, Engage Education is the way to go.

After finishing my PGCE and going on to a full-time contract, I have been on supply for a period of time with Engage. Ben was extremely helpful and supportive throughout my time with Engage. He is excellent! I would recommend going with engage to other people wanting to join up to an agency.
Ismail B.
Could not recommend Engage Education enough! Whether you are a teacher, support staff or someone wanting to get into working within an educational setting, just sign up to Engage and thank me later. Branch Manager- Charley Alexander has displayed fantastic customer/client service. Having dealt with many agencies before, it was a breath of fresh air to deal with an agency that wants the best for their clients- rather than just getting 'you' into work quickly so that the company can just make commission. I have already recommended the agency to many of my teacher friends and colleagues- to repeat whether you are wanting a fixed, temporary or supply position (within Leeds, Bradford and wider areas) this agency will fulfil your needs and requirements.
Alisha D.
Ben Gardner (Leeds branch) was able to get me different roles in various settings, giving me the chance to grow as a TA.His friendly personality, wealth of information and passion for what he does is infectious.
Ebony C.
Engage is an absolute amazing agency if you’re looking to begin teaching/TA work , they have always catered to my needs in such a supportive and professional way. In particular Charley has been brilliant , she is so supportive and has offered my experience in different roles as well such as cover supervisor. Thank you so much!
Chi Ho T.
Worked with Ben G. Was great at giving options to me and help try and find the best role for me. Was able to get stuck into work quickly in a place where I gained lots of experience
Anne L.
If you are looking to get into teaching, this is the best place to start.Their motivation to get you into a placement that suits your needs is outstanding.What makes Engage different to others? They're are thorough in their vetting, any problem's that my arise, don't hesitate to let them know.I joined Engage after a bad experience with another company, after a few days of clearance, I was offered a position that wasn't suitable due to the travel distance. This was not an issue. A few days later, I was offered a position 3 days before the end of term, which they assured me would be the perfect start. I had a paid trial day, as the school had already looked at my credentials and wanted to see if it was suitable for me. I was offered by the school to cover the last 2 days of term and on the second day was offered a 12 week probation with Engage leading onto a full time contract with the school! I was blown away but through my determination and natural talent, I've been given an opportunity to start my career, despite having an underlying illness.I would without a doubt recommend Engage to you, Jessica gave outstanding support, extremely efficient in having me signed up as soon as it was possible.Give them a ring, you have nothing to lose and so much to gain.Anne Longmuir
Hannah L.
I had been liaising with Ben regarding a full time job in a SEND school, Ben found me the perfect position within a couple of weeks, and now I am being taken on full time! Ben has been incredibly helpful, always on hand to answer and questions I had/have, and replied promptly! He is a kind and understanding individual who goes the extra mile to help out! I am incredibly thankful to Ben for taking the time to help when needed, weather that is replying to an email at 7am! pointing me in the right direction, or offering interview support.Thank you Ben! Please continue to be the supportive individual you are!

Rebekah J.
Having never worked for an agency before due to seeing people's past experiences, I was quite nervous about starting with engage but thanks to Ben Gardner I am glad I bit the bullet and went for it. He got me a placement almost instantly, worked with me to get all the right things out into place and has kept in touch with me throughout the process. I am now in a placement which I'm due to start as a permanent member of staff. Can't thank him enough for the work, time and effort he's put in to get to where I am now..
