Laura Dunne

"Overall, my experience with Laura and Engage education has been great and very successful. I feel like I’m on the right track where I want to be. Laura, as a consultant, has helped me a lot through the process. From the quick organising or the interviewing and successfully helping me through it. I felt prepared for the interview. The regular check-ins are helpful as she knows how I have been and if I have any questions, I can ask her. Engage Education has been helpful with the information I get from the Zoom meetings during the summer to help us prepare for the role. Overall, I feel very happy with my role, and if it wasn’t for Laura and Engage Education, I wouldn’t be at my school and on the right track to where I want to be.  "

"Laura is highly professional in all of her interactions. She has made a real effort to understand the school and our context to ensure that she puts forward suitable candidates for any roles that become available and candidates always speak highly of her. She is friendly and engaging on the phone and a pleasure to work with."

Richard Headteacher Greatfields School

"I had the pleasure of working with Engage Education, and they were nothing short of brilliant in helping me find work day to day and more permanently. I was in contact with an amazing lady called Laura, who I felt was like a second mother. With the amazing response time between messages, quick onboarding time, and the way she understood what I wanted to do in the education sector, it would be an understatement to say she was the best manager/consultant I’ve ever worked with! Laura even secured new interviews for some more permanent roles and went through interview preparation and role-playing with me to help me succeed in them!"

"On returning to the UK after teaching abroad for 12 years, Engage Education has been supportive in employing me in some great schools. I would recommend the consultant Laura Dunne, who has a kind and professional approach. She delivers positive feedback and constructive criticism whenever required. She keenly listens to the teacher’s requirements and attempts to find jobs appropriately. Overall, my experience with this agency has been positive."

"As a school we have benefitted from working with Engage and Laura over the past 2 years. The standards for staff that they adhere to mean I can be very confident that when I am employing someone through Engage I am getting someone who is intelligent, focused and very competent and also often with a good sense of humour!"

Matt Hipperson Head Teacher, St Luke’s CEVA Primary School

"Avenue has worked with Engage for over 7 years. During that time we have developed a very effective working relationship with Laura as our main consultant. She has worked to understand our school, our needs and preferences over that time and match them to the candidates available. Laura is always approachable and extremely responsive to our requests. We would highly recommend both Laura and Engage as a supply agency."
