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.

Pros

Working at TeacherActive has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. As a Branch Manager, I’ve had the opportunity to lead a high-performing team, contribute to meaningful growth, and be part of a company that genuinely values its people. The culture here is fast-paced, supportive, and driven by recognition. There’s a real focus on developing talent, and the support from leadership has helped me grow both personally and professionally. The company invests in learning and development at all levels and encourages you to succeed. It’s also worth highlighting that TeacherActive has won multiple Best Place to Work awards—and it’s easy to see why. From the strong team spirit and engaging incentives to the company-wide appreciation for hard work, it’s a place where you feel genuinely valued. Pros: Award-winning company culture Clear progression opportunities Recognition and reward for performance Supportive leadership Strong team values and collaboration Cons: Recruitment is a fast-moving and sometimes demanding industry—but with the right attitude, the rewards are there. If you're ambitious, people-focused, and love working in a culture that celebrates success, TeacherActive is the place to be. Awards & Recognitions 🏅 "Best Company to Work For – SME" – Gold Awarded at the UK Employee Experience Awards 2024, specifically recognising outstanding SME workplace culture 🌟 "Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2024" TeacherActive was included in this prestigious national list, highlighting its excellent employee feedback, inclusive benefits (like extra leave for birthdays and charity work), and a strong diversity & inclusion focus 🥇 "Learning & Development" – Gold Also at the UK Employee Experience Awards 2024, recognising top-tier investment in staff training and professional growth . 🥉 "Best Employee Experience" – Bronze Again at UK EXA 2024, acknowledging TeacherActive’s strong staff engagement and overall work environment 🎖 Highly Commended – "Best In‑House Training" Recognised at The Global Recruiter Awards 2024 for the quality of internal training programs 🏆 "Specialist Recruitment Company of the Year" Awarded by the Tiara Recruitment Awards (with the Grant Thornton sponsorship), highlighting excellence in recruitment strategy and employee support
