Pros

TeacherActive have always worked hard to make sure I have suitable work. They get to know you and you really do feel valued. They're there if you need them but you don't feel you have to 'check in' too often if everything is going well. Super friendly and a great agency to work for.

Cons

It would be good to do a bit of part time work or take a break some times but there always seems to be work there!! Having said that, they will work around any commitments and have a great relationship with schools to make sure this is possible.
