Real Stories, Real Impact

I have been working with Pertemps for a couple of months now and I can honestly say it’s been nothing but smooth sailing. My consultant  has been amazing and has guided me through the whole experience with ease. He has answered all questions and queries promptly and professionally, and I’ve never had to wait long for a reply.

They are a fantastic agency to work for and I would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you Pertemps for all your help.

My consultant has been totally professional with his support as I have just begun my journey as an agency worker.

He has explained everything I needed to know thoroughly whilst being encouraging and enthusiastic regarding my application process. Quick to reply, he is always pleasant and engaging with his emails. I am looking forward to a great working relationship.

I have been working with Pertemps for around a year, and have made the most of my success during this time. I have recommended Pertemps to friends who have made contact and some have even began working closely with schools.

Excellent communication, support and commitment, I absolutely could not fault.

I have worked with Pertemps a few times over the years, and twice I have secured permanent jobs through the placements.

I have been supported by my consultant the last 2 times that I have joined the agency, the latest spell for over 6 months, and have found him to be professional and efficient. He always considers my skill set, and takes the time to find out my requirements for placements, checking my progress regularly to ensure that they are a good ‘fit’. He is very approachable and seems to work all hours, frequently responding to out of hours messages, when I expected to hear the next day. I have appreciated all his support and positivity, and would definitely recommend Pertemps if you are looking for work in the education sector.

My consultant was professional, friendly and extremely proactive and found me a suitable placement within hours!

I am really happy with my new supply teacher role and the contacts I have made. My consultant worked hard to secure me a fantastic rate that took my needs into consideration. He offers a ‘bespoke’ personalised feel to Agency work and I now have complete job satisfaction – thanks Pertemps Education!

Pertemps helped me get my first job in a school. 

My consultant realised my potential after looking at my CV and a video interview, he found my a job in the perfect school. It’s a very professional business and they really do care about the staff. I would most definitely urge you to sign up with Pertemps if you are seeking a job in the education sector.

My consultant is an amazing agent. So reliable, business minded but also honest, hardworking and friendly.

From the previous agencies, honestly, I was not hoping for much.
But when my consultant came along, I found him a delight to work with. He was helpful, supportive and very understanding to my needs. 

Thank you for everything you have done for me. I cannot recommend the Pertemps agency enough.

My consultant was an inspiring team-player!

I liaised with the Pertemps Education team in order to explore a career path in youth coaching. My consultant’s professionalism and encouragement greatly inspired me to believe in my potential. He was especially patient and compassionate with me during a period of ill-health when I was greatly struggling. My consultant supported me in every step of the process, and confidently answered any queries I had. 

Every correspondence was filled with uplifting enthusiasm, competent wise words, and clear to follow instructions. He’s a real asset to this company, and I’m sure he’ll continue to inspire many others seeking to support and teach a new generation of young people. Many thanks my friend.

This is my first experience of working for an agency and to be honest I was a little hesitant. However, my consultant has been so reassuring, attentive and helpful. He was very quick to pass on information, and to investigate any queries that I had. 

Brilliant service, thank you, Pertemps.

I have worked with Pertemps for a while and my consultant is absolutely brilliant. He’s has been patient with me and looked into places which have been commutable for my needs as I’m a non-driver.

I will definitely use Pertemps again if I get stuck for work.

My consultant was awesome. So supportive and effective – he managed to get me my dream job. I owe him big.

I’ve been at Pertemps for 3-4 months now and it’s been absolutely brilliant, My consultant is very understanding and accommodating. She goes above and beyond to help and she’s always at the other of the end of the phone if I need her. Pertemps is an amazing agency to work for.

My consultant has been absolutely amazing – so friendly and helpful. I would recommend Pertemps Education..

Pertemps Education is an amazing agency. 

I first met my consultant at a jobs fair and she had me signed up and in work fast and the help don’t stop there. 

I would recommend Pertemps to anyone looking for a role in education.

I felt very uncertain at the start of this year. I had left one school and was starting to work through Pertemps. 

My consultant is friendly, informative and organised. His proactive and caring nature was clear from my initial meeting.

I would like to thank Pertemps, who met with me the day I applied for a role and have been friendly, informative and organised. They are proactive and caring which was clear not only from the initial meeting (and the fact that I was working within a matter of days), but also from their weekly phone-calls. They ensure I am happy in my role and gives me reassuring updates regarding the longevity of my current role and regarding future/back-up roles they have secured for me.

I found Pertemps Education online and they were very quick at responding to me, which is the first thing I liked. The process of joining was clear, easy and if I wasn’t sure about something I was able to get in touch and receive a response either immediately or always on the same day.

I was very clear with what I wanted in terms of work – it was my first time in my 14 year career trying supply/agency work and this was exactly the kind smooth and personalised service I wanted. My consultant found me work immediately that completely catered to my needs! I had lots of questions before I met the Deputy Head via zoom and my consultant was on hand constantly. She also arranged everything, all I had to do was click on the link and talk. The school has even been given useful information from my consultant first.

My consultant has been an absolute pleasure to work with from the very first contact that was made. I had decided to leave education and pursue a completely different career, but realised that teaching was what I am passionate about.

My consultant took the time to arrange an informal chat, he listened to what it was that I was looking for, the type of school I was after and the setting that would work for me. He was open and honest, and only discussed the roles he thought would match my skillset. Unlike other agencies, he did not try to downgrade my skills and experience by simply trying to fill a vacancy.

“Pertemps is a very professional, hard working employment agency. The consultants go that extra mile to get you the job.”

I work in schools and education as a facilities team leader – a caretaker in a primary school.

I am currently working as a Special Teaching Assistant in Bury St Edmunds, a job I am thoroughly enjoying.

I was introduced to this position by my consultant who has played an important role in taking me through the smooth process during my time at Pertemps Education.
