Don’t just take our word for it

Hear from some of our schools about their experience with Engage Education below!

    "I work across a special provision partnership and use Engage across all of the settings. They are readily available to answer any queries and provide some really great candidates that have settled into our schools really well, regardless of the setting. Steven is always in contact and takes an active interest in the needs of the school and specific roles. Most of the candidates end up being with us for the long term!"

    Springwell School Barnsley

      "Working in an SEN school is challenging at the best of times and to be able to work with an agency that understood the needs and expectations of the school is a great relief and support to the day-to-day running of the school. Parth is very proactive and engaged in ensuring the school is getting the best needed for the children we cater for, he has even supported with finding long-term placements. He has been going above and beyond to ensure placements are met with high standards and supports in guiding staff with the right choices and being able to gain their own personal development."

      Hillingdon Manor School Middlesex

        "We have found that working with Engage has really taken the pressure off us in regard to day to day cover. Engage really work hard to get to know our different requirements in each of our schools and the skills we require. The communication is outstanding, and we feel our contacts are just an extended part of our team."
