Engage Education Opiniones 

I am always in a contact with Grace Lampard. She is always such a lovely person with kindness, respectful and always she is trying to answer all my questions that I have.

Excellent service, my consultants, Megan and Katie have been kind and caring. Very happy.

My experience with Grace Lampard at Engage Education has been exceptional. From onboarding through to bookings and placements, her support has been nothing short of outstanding and professional. She has been incredibly helpful and is always willing to go the extra mile to secure a placement that truly works for you. I genuinely appreciate her dedication and excellent service.

I’ve worked in education for over 10 years, both as a permanent member of staff and through several recruitment agencies, and this is honestly one of the worst I’ve ever dealt with.

They lure you in with an SGP contract, claiming you’ll still get paid even when there’s no work. This is misleading. Once you read the small print, you find out that even when your contract is active, you don’t get paid during September and January if there’s no work. On days when you should be paid despite not working, they’ll do everything possible to send you somewhere to work if there isn’t any work in your usual area. The will sometimes send you up to 20 miles from home.

They also claim you’ll receive full pay when there’s no work, but you actually only get 80%. To make it worse, the contract becomes void during the first and last weeks of each half term, but these specific weeks aren’t listed anywhere. They simply tell you afterwards when your pay doesn’t add up or make up the dates as they go along.

Everything is paperless, which should be convenient, but consultants that cover Essex, particularly Havering, Thurrock and Redbridge often fail to ensure timesheets are approved by schools on time. This has caused underpayments on several occasions. This is a breach of employment law in the UK — specifically a breach of contract and potentially an unlawful deduction of wages under the Employment Rights Act 1996.

When I asked for an emergency payment after being underpaid, Bridget Hicks lied and said it couldn’t be done. She also said, “This is not the conversation I want to be having on a Friday afternoon. There’s nothing I can do ! you’ll have to wait until next week!” Meanwhile, Amber Cloona ignored my calls. I emailed and called repeatedly, but was ignored until the following week. This happened more than once.

I was also sent to a school 20 miles from home with no parking available. They promised to reimburse the parking cost but never did. When I followed up, I was passed between consultants and never repaid, which leaving me out of pocket.

After a school complaint, I emailed Bridget Hicks explaining that I felt discriminated against and raised my concerns formally. She ignored my email and instead called me, speaking aggressively, belittling me, and completely dismissing my concerns. She used her mobile instead of replying by email or her work phone, clearly to avoid leaving written evidence and phone call recording of her unprofessional behaviour.

I even referred a friend to the agency (after being honest about my experience). She accepted a long-term role through them, but I was never given the £50 referral voucher they advertise.

Overall, this agency has been unprofessional, misleading, and unreliable. They do not honour their own contracts, fail to pay correctly or on time, and ignore legitimate concerns. Their behaviour breaches basic employment standards and shows a complete disregard for fairness and professionalism.

I have been working four years With engage Education. They are very helpful.
They have been found jobs which are match to my skills and qualifications.
I always have good feedback from all schools that I have been working with them.
They have found me long term jobs
For daily basis jobs, They try to call one day before or they call as early as possible in the morning. They have been paying on time and more than other agencies.
They are more popular in most schools than other agencies. I always have been meeting Engage Education agency employees in schools where I have been working long term, weekly or on daily basis.
They respect and value all their employees.
They are always trying to make all employees happy and satisfy.

Katie had been amazing a rock always solving problems put me forward to jobs that Mach my strengths I did find she had a very good understanding of of myself as when she was not there the thing I had to do became difficult I found everything we were useful from timesheet to communication and support and I feel this is very important for both the employer and the employee

I really enjoy working with Engage. The onboarding process was really straightforward and the work is varied, rewarding and enjoyable. Special thanks to Katie for being easy to communicate with and supportive!

Engage has been fantastic to work with, they are proactive, reliable, and always quick to offer cover shifts when needed. The communication is smooth and professional, and they genuinely care about matching the right people to the right roles. I really appreciate their consistency and dedication , it makes managing my schedule so much easier. Highly recommend Engage to anyone looking for an efficient and supportive recruitment team!

I think I survived in uk because of laura and she exactly gives bookings according to my needs and requests. she was very kind and professional. she hasnt never been rude even when situations were harder she only tries to explain things. overall she was so supportive in all aspects

I have an amazing consultant called Laura Dunne who assigned me to a school that I thoroughly enjoy. I have been working with the school for over a year now and it’s been an amazing experience.
My consultant Laura always has good communication with me and lets me know any changes and always keeps me updated (:

The workers at engage education have been increasingly helpful. From being active to doing things on time, they always help me out when I have any queries or concerns.

I have worked with Engage Education for two years. Brilliant team , staffs are ready to support and efficient. You can be sure of permanent role with Engage within few days of placement.

Wasted my time completely. Pressured me to do their forms immediately and chase after references after promising me I would have work ASAP. This went on for 3 weeks. I was then contacted out of the blue saying there was a position available the following week but I was expected to drive 2 hours, pay for parking in a busy expensive city to cite my passport that week (I was given no notice and contacted mid week to do this) The recruiter had said originally she would meet me half way at a recruitment event but then pretended that conversation never happened. I asked for any alternative ways to do this and for information about the role but they never contacted me again. Steer clear they expect you to do everything instantly but are so slow and don’t come up with the work or give you very little notice.

- Poor communication - inconsistent communication from consultants, leaving me unsupported
- No pay for extra hours, 'You are expected to do the job' because Engage Agency pay you teachers' salaries but forgets that Engage Agency do not pay teachers' pension, sick pay or holidays - they will bully you so you will keep quiet
- Dishonest and false information provided by Engage Agency - booking confirmation, and they changed the hours and notice period - DO NOT BELIEVE IN WHAT THEY TELL YOU, keep a record of everything!!!
- Workload and conditions - Mr JW, manager at Engage, told me to go to HR myself to ask for help, but he forgot I am employed by them, not by the school.
- Engage Agency is good at engaging with people. If you ask a question, they give you an answer to something different to avoid digging in
- Engage Agency will lie to the school about you to cover themselves (confirmed by the school).

Suela and Katie were brilliant, very supportive and always quick to respond. They helped me secure bookings that matched my experience. I really appreciated their help throughout.

The communication has been excellent with engage. Chris has been very helpful and efficient as I have promptly been given opportunities and work and I am kept updated weekly. My work preferences are always considered and Chris ensures I am always given work that is appropriate for my level of experience and that challenges me.

I really enjoyed signing up to Engage as the process was fun, in particular, Suela & Alice made it very easy and helped me a great deal getting started. I asked many questions and they answered them all, making me feel confident and happy as I start a new job.
