"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."

"Katie is very easily contactable (even though I don't always return the favour), she is very understanding of our needs and constantly updates us on situations. I don't think there is a position that I have sent that she has not been able to fill. She is also very personable and not pushy, which goes a long way when dealing with agencies!"
