Amazing Agency!

Pros

The staff are really friendly and down to earth. They won't pull you out of a full time job till they have something substantial for you. Thanks to them in the space of two to three weeks I am in a long term position closer to home. They listen to you, follow your best wishes. The response time is amazing to get through to them. They are always sending messages and emails to check availability etc. Great holiday payment scheme whereby money gets saved from your wages which you can take out at any time, but for me i'm saving it until my holidays. Opportunity to win gift vouchers etc. for recommendation. Great pay! Overall great company! feel secure.

Cons

There are no cons that I can think of.

Pros

Some placements matched my experience, skills and school requirements *some below not leading to dissatisfaction from myself and schools

Cons

Poor relation with school/teacher match. Agency aim seems to get teacher in school. ADVERTISING NON-EXISTING POSITIONS. This done to get teacher to register with. agency - in my case to reregister. Dishonest information of fake jobs. I re registered and informed regards name and position at school and that Cv to be put forward After no contact from agency Informed through agency that the school had decided the position had been changed to other agency. This was another lie. I contacted the school The 'real' school did not have a relationship with original agency and the position had not existed. The agency consultant had lied on several occasions. Considerable time and expectation wasted by teacher. Now I do not know if position are real.
