We believe this review is about the West London Teacher Training Alliance and not about the education recruitment agency TeacherActive, we have asked Glassdoor to review and remove. If you believe this to be in error please email feedback@teacheractive.com

Good flexibility but it works both ways, so you don't always get shifts when you want them

Nursery assistant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Can take whatever time you need off. If you are placed in a setting that you really like/don't like, you can feed that back and the agency will take it into account when giving you shifts. Nice people who work at the agency.

Cons

Sometimes you won't get any shifts for a while, or just the odd day here and there, so not ideal if you are only relying on the money from this job. Can be stressful and exhausting moving between different settings frequently.
