Team Testimonials

"I came over to the UK with Engage in January of 2019. Bridget played a huge part in making me feel confident enough to take the leap and was in contact with me prior to my arrival to ensure I had everything I needed to start work right away. She has a wonderful knowledge of the local schools and has a great relationship with headteachers which she was able to use to help find somewhere that suited my needs perfectly. Bridget has always been the first to send me updates or give me a call if she hadn't heard from me in a while. I can't say thank you enough for how much care and dedication she showed in her role and without her I'm sure I would have flown home a year ago. Thank you for everything lovely, you really made me feel like I had someone always looking out for me. "

"Kelley is an all-around great human being. She was a fantastic agent and was very helpful in answering all questions truthfully. She was a great help while I was still in Canada making sure I had everything lined up to make for an easy transition to the UK. But her helpfulness did not stop there, while over in the UK she continued to check-in and made sure everything was well. If there was something she could help with she would do all she could to come up with a solution. She goes above and beyond the job description!"

"At Elm Park Primary, Engage Education is our staple 'go-to' recruitment agency. Whether it's an early morning phone call for immediate supply or a longer-term vacancy, staff are efficient and take the hard work out of filling teaching vacancies, which, as a headteacher, is exactly what you want. Staff are passionate about their work and really take the time to build relationships and get to know you and your school so that they can provide high-quality short or long-term supply staff who will understand your school ethos and meet your expectations. Bridget, our consultant at Engage Education, understands excellence and has consistently delivered a high-quality service that sees us returning time and again."

"Engage Education made the journey of moving overseas, facilitating a smooth work transition and feeling totally supported throughout the entire process. Whether it was communication with the school, creating a desirable and professional profile that attracted schools, visa and flight assistance or support when first arriving, no job was too hard for the helpful Engage Education staff. In particular, I was teamed with Bridget as my personal recruitment agent. Bridget cares about you as a client and treats you as apart of the Engage family. Always contactable and helpful on any concern or question was never too hard for Bridget at any time and cared about your relationship with the company and the school. She went above and beyond during the initial weeks at the school and kept in regular contact to ensure you had all the help you required.! You can be confident that you will be supported and provided with world-class assistance and recruitment. Engage was not just finding a job for you, but making you comfortable and secure that you are not just another client. Would highly recommend."

"As the Headteacher of Rainham Village Primary School and Nursery I have known Bridget for over 10 years. In the companies that she has represented in order to provide supply cover, she has always been professional and courteous. She has developed an excellent understanding of the nature of our school and has always strived to ensure that the staff she recommends are suited to the school and that our school is suited to their skills and development needs. She has been prompt to respond to any of our requests and always ensures a follow up call to ensure placements have been successful. On the very few occasions when a supply teacher has not been competent to manage in our school she has responded immediately and ensured all procedures are followed to review and rectify the problem. She has been able to support us to recruit many teachers and support staff, several of whom have then become staff at the school. She ensures that she supports the staff she recommends and was particularly helpful with our recruitment of overseas NQT teachers – ensuring support through an Induction programme also. I have no hesitation in recommending Bridget as a skilled, knowledgeable person working within the personnel HR field. "
- School
"The school has used Engage Education for over two years. We have always found them to be extremely helpful and accommodating of our needs. The supply teachers assigned to the school have been of good quality. Regardless of the time of day, there is always a good response to our requests, whether they can provide a supply teacher or not. The school’s contact at Engage is Bridget, who has a very bubbly personality, and she provides a very good service to us. She has a caring nature and will always ensure that she responds to any requests that the school may have. It is a pleasure to do business with Engage. "

"Bridget has always been nothing but accommodating. She knows our school very well, she understands our context and knows our needs, so she always does her best to send us the teachers that suit our children, our school and our style of teaching. She is proactive and is open to feedback in order to meet our needs. She is always at the end of the phone, is open and honest and actively does all she can to do what we are asking of her. I would certainly recommend her! "
