Testimonials

"My introduction to the world of working with Autistic Children was through Engage, I cannot describe how helpful and how much confidence my Engage consultant gave me through her transparency, wealth of information and sheer availability. Any problems I’ve had (which were very few) my consultant went above and beyond to help and in each individual case was resolved by the end of the working day if not sooner."

Kyle

"I have never worked for an agency before so Engage was my first, I would absolutely recommend joining Engage education as it has been the best experience for me starting from my application to landing a job and all thanks to my consultant . She has been and still is nothing less than one of the most helpful people I have ever met. I was so nervous getting my first job in an SEND school and she made sure to make my experience during interviews and trial days as enjoyable as possible."

Ilze

"I have been supported so well during a challenging time Steven. They are always there with the answers to my questions and have endless patience when I have questions or concerns. Steven calls regularly to check that I am happy with my assignments and is always on the lookout for opportunities for me. He is a calm, stable source of support. I recommend Engage Education to friends and colleagues because I know that I can rely on them when I need opportunities to work. I look forward to working for Engage and with Steven and Charley for some time to come."

Susan Sutcliffe

"I have nothing but positive things to say about Engage Education Leeds … I relocated in February from down South and by March I had walked into my dream job of working permanently in a Specialist School. Thank you to Steven Denvers for all of your help and the constant support that you have given me. I am so grateful for your perseverance, kindness, and patience. I thoroughly recommend joining this agency!"

Carole Morris

"I applied for a job and Steven from Engage made contact early the very next day. We had an informal chat over the phone about what I was currently doing and that it wasn't fulfilling my career goals and what I was looking for. Within a few short days, I had a trial day at a local Pupil referral school and instantly settled and was offered a place. I couldn't be more thankful to Steven for his commitment to helping me find my perfect placement and around 6 weeks later I am still in the school and feel like part of the family. Thank you so much! Highly recommended Engage to anyone looking for a role within education!"
