Team Testimonials

"I have been working with Engage Education since September 2021. Engage provides us with Staff to cover Teaching positions and support staff. I have found them to be extremely reliable and responsive. They have taken the time to understand the needs of our children to ensure they put forward the correct candidates to work with our students."

"I have been going to Grace Lampard as my primary source of supply staff for around three years. Grace has taken the time to really understand our school and its needs, and so I can rely on her to provide us with high-quality and appropriate staff. Grace always replies to my emails and questions incredibly quickly, even if these are sent outside working hours or on weekends - and during her maternity leave! I value the relationship I have with Grace as I know she works hard to meet our needs, and our communication is efficient and effective."

"I have been working with Joe quite closely over the last couple of years through my work as Executive Headteacher at Swale Academies Trust, particularly with my responsibility for The Sittingbourne School and Westlands School. Engage is now our preferred agency at these two schools. I have recommended Joe and Engage to other trust schools. I would describe Joe as friendly, professional, reliable and trustworthy. He is realistic, listens to our needs and does his best to find teachers of a 'good fit'. He has supported the schools with tutors throughout the Covid period, and is now supporting us with our recruitment needs for this September. He makes himself available and contacts us quickly when we need to speak to him. I've met Joe in person, and he displays similar positive qualities."

"I stepped into my role in September 2021 and very quickly needed to book a supply teacher. I had very little experience in this area, and Joe was extremely helpful. He guided me through the process and relieved some of the stress I was feeling. On the whole, the quality of the supply teachers booked through Joe is extremely high, and any issues we have faced have been dealt with and resolved quickly and painlessly, due to Joe's professionalism and expertise. Joe is always available and responds to emails and calls very quickly. Joe is always looking for the best quality supply teachers for us. Overall, I cannot fault the level of service provided by Joe, and I would not hesitate to continue to work with him and Engage on an ongoing basis."

"As you know, working relationships are hugely important in the roles that both your staff and I have to make things run smoothly. Having known Megan for a while now, I can safely say she is one of the hardest-working people I know. She always tries her best to meet our requirements and is honest when she can’t. Her communication skills are excellent, and I know that my job would be 100 times more difficult without her at the end of the phone! "

"I wanted to take this opportunity to commend to you Alice King for her support and service to me throughout the past few months. Alice has been refreshingly honest, always available to answer my (often naive and sometimes even silly) questions and an absolute joy to deal with. I don't think I would have made it this far without her friendly yet professional manner and attitude. Having dealt with several agencies in the past, I can say without exaggeration that Alice is head and shoulders above the rest and a shining star in a cloudy sky. Having recently recommended a friend to her, whom she has also guided through the process of getting into teaching, it is clear that I am not the first nor the last person to have been blessed enough to have been supported by Alice. Her work has been nothing short of life-changing for me!"

"I've worked with a number of teaching agencies internationally and in England and can honestly say that Engage Brighton is one of my favourites. I was registered quickly and easily, and able to start work as soon as my DBS came through. And working with Mia and Aaron was an absolute dream! They were both so respectful of any scheduling needs, offering both flexibility for last-minute changes as well as giving me the opportunity to book with schools well in advance. They checked in often to see how I was doing and how I was liking the schools that I worked with, making an effort to connect me with my favourites whenever possible. Both Mia and Aaron often passed along compliments from the schools I worked at — something that often doesn't happen with busy agencies — which is a real morale boost. They both managed to maintain a high degree of professionalism without losing that human touch. I truly felt valued working there. Substitute teaching in general can have its challenges at times, but Engage did everything in its power to make it the best possible experience. If I'm ever back in Brighton, I would 10000% return to this agency."
