"Katie has looked after me for a couple of years now she has been an absolutely wonderful recruitment consultant. I have worked in recruitment before I became a teacher and I know how hard it can be. Katie goes above and beyond; she has supported me through a very difficult period where I had to come away from teaching for a period of time and then she helped me return to my profession after I had endured a stressful situation and suffered teacher burnout. Katie is very dedicated to her role and very friendly and helpful."

"I’ve worked with Scarlett at Engage for a while now, and she has been consistently brilliant at placing agency staff across our federation. She is always on hand to help out, whether we’re looking for great long-term supply or need a last-minute cover at short notice. What sets Scarlett apart is her professional yet friendly approach, she’s incredibly patient and makes the whole process feel easy. A common issue we face with agencies is staff arriving without the correct DBS paperwork, but Scarlett always makes sure her staff are fully briefed and have the correct ID ready. The vetting is always delivered on time with all the checks we need to update our SCR and ensure compliance. It makes a huge difference, allowing staff to get through the doors and straight into the classroom without any delays. Engage offer competitive rates and prioritise the customer journey. They understand school budget pressures, and are constantly evolving their service with tools like the online portal and flexible staffing options that help keep costs down."

"I did a simple Google search for teaching services that help find teaching jobs overseas in the UK. I did sign up for a couple of services, but Engage Education was the one that worked the best and got right down to work to find employment. Working with Laura and Pesh on either side of the Atlantic has been phenomenal. Communication is top-notch. They were quick to set up possible employment opportunities while staying flexible to time differences, work schedules, and changes to my own thoughts and situations. Any questions I had were quickly answered, or I was provided with the information I needed to find the answers. If you are interested in teaching abroad, Engage Education is a valuable resource to help you on your journey. Highly recommend!!"

"Katie is very knowledgeable in her field, and I can rely on her to deliver an exceptional service every time, whether that’s searching for candidates, setting up interviews, or generally responding to emails. Katie has been introduced to several schools within the Foundation, and she supplies candidates of a high calibre. With that in mind, the schools feel comfortable to request for certain candidates to come back and teach. Katie offers an outstanding service, her communication is excellent, and we always know where we stand. For me, this is key; Katie and I work well together, and she is fully aware of the requirements and ensures that candidates are checked and compliant, as this information is needed for the SCR."

"I first came to know about Engage Education through my husband, whom they helped secure a teaching role in the UK. As I intended to join my husband the following term, I also submitted my CV to them after seeing how supportive they were to my husband. From the very beginning, their professionalism and support stood out. The agency assisted me in securing two interviews. They guided me through the interview processes, providing thorough preparation, practical advice, and encouragement that gave me confidence every step of the way. It made me feel like I had been in a classroom in the UK setting. I was offered a teaching position at one of the schools, and with their help, I secured a six-month contract, which was later extended for an additional year. What truly impressed me was their ongoing support. The consultants, Megan and Tesh, consistently checked in, answered any questions promptly, and showed genuine care for my success and well-being. Their guidance made settling into a new country and school environment seamless and stress-free. Thanks to Engage Education, my transition to teaching in the UK was smooth, rewarding, and enjoyable. Their ability to secure a long-term contract gave me peace of mind, enabling me to focus on my teaching rather than stressing about looking for a job. Looking forward to another year or more extension of my contract in July 2026! I highly recommend Engage Education to any teacher looking to find a role overseas. Their dedication, professionalism, and personal support make them a truly outstanding agency to work with."

"I heard of Engage Education through a mutual friend. When I was beginning to plan my move to London, I had a friend who moved to London for teaching. When I connected with him, he shared his experience working with a teaching agency in London, and said that Engage is a company with good reviews and worth looking into! I have really enjoyed working with Engage. Any of the staff that I have connected with have always been so responsive and friendly. I really appreciated the way they would go above and beyond, checking in on how I found the schools I worked in, and making sure I was fully supported with my move to London. I really enjoyed the schools I worked in through Engage. I had the opportunity to work in some wonderful neighbourhoods in London. I appreciated the fact that the Engage consultants, especially Kelley Potter, knew me and knew which schools I had enjoyed, in order to help seek out opportunities to return to those schools! I really enjoy Engage Education! They were easy to get connected with, incredibly responsive, and I have had nothing short of a positive experience working for them. I would absolutely recommend them to any friends who are looking for teaching experience in London."

"I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude and appreciation for my supervisor, Chris Rushton, at Engage Education. Chris has consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism and genuine care for my well-being and success in every assignment. From the very start, Chris has always made sure I am fully prepared for each shift. His proactive approach in checking up on me and ensuring that I am treated well by clients has been incredibly reassuring. He maintains regular communication, offering support and guidance whenever needed. I truly appreciate his timely calls, which not only help me get ready for my shifts but also serve as a reminder to ensure I arrive on time. It’s clear that Chris goes above and beyond his role as a supervisor. His dedication to his work and his supportive nature have made a significant positive impact on my experience with Engage Education. I feel valued and supported, knowing that Chris is always looking out for me. I highly recommend Chris Rushton to anyone working with Engage Education. His professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care make him an outstanding supervisor. Thank you, Chris, for all your support!"

"Chris Rushton has been an absolute delight to work with! When I first began my job hunt in earnest, I was contacted by an astonishingly endless stream of educational recruiters aiming to get me onto their books. Chris first called me in October 2024 and although I was not looking for work in education at the time, I made a point to save his details over virtually 100 other emails and messages from other recruiters - and I'm hugely glad I did. I've found Chris to be incredibly personable and understanding, his approach is clearly client-oriented and supported by his existing experience in teaching. After I reached out in March, he worked tirelessly to complete the registration process as quickly as humanly possible, to the point where I had realistic work options through Engage merely one week later. He is a clear, frequent and reliable communicator and I really appreciate his hard work behind the scenes to organise placements that suit my needs and skill set - a feature I've found other recruiters more than ready to dismiss. I am hugely grateful to have found Chris and consider him the best educational recruiter out there, having spoken with many in the past few months. Based entirely on our interactions and his ability to find good and consistent work, I will be sure to refer any other prospective supply staff to Engage over any other agencies. Last but not least, Chris strikes me as a genuinely friendly guy and I can imagine he's great to have as a colleague."
