Chris Rushton

"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."

"I have always found Chris very helpful and he certainly has supplied us with some very good candidates, particularly a TA and an English teacher who are currently with us long term. He keeps in touch regularly to check everything is OK and gets back to me promptly if I ring and he is unavailable. I have just this week recommended him to one of our part-time teachers who is looking for work on her days off. His rates are competitive and his service is great - keep doing what you are doing!"

"I have worked closely with Chris for the past 2½ years in my role as Cover Manager at Carlton Bolling. Chris always provides cover staff to our school as and when requested and goes ‘above and beyond’ to make sure we are fully provided for, even at very short notice. Chris has a very warm, friendly and professional approach to any task he is given by myself and Carlton Bolling. Bookings are placed on the system in a timely manner and any queries are dealt with as soon as he can. Chris is an absolute asset to Engage Education."

His unwavering support has made all the difference, ensuring I always have the information I need and promptly addressing any questions I have, no matter the time. Chris has gone above and beyond to secure both short-term and long-term bookings for me since I joined the agency.
