Positive:Professionalism
Olivia and Melissa are always professional, but also very friendly. It's a pleasure to work with them. Rates of pay are usually fairer than the other agency I work for. Also good that pay is PAYE rather than via an umberella company.

I have worked with Vision for Education Manchester for just over 3 years as a Tutor, tutoring mainly math and English on a 1 - to - 1 basis. I have always felt supported by Vision as a tutor and have had plenty of opportunities for work. It is clear that Vision also have a great rapport with the schools and local authorities they work with and arrange tutoring for; all required information is sourced and given out ahead of time so that placements start and continue successfully, for as long as needed.

I would not hesitate to recommend Vision to anyone seeking work as a teacher. I have worked with Jordan for a number or years now and he has always found me regular work in a variety of primary schools. Jordan has helped me to secure a number of short/medium term positions and has kept me informed of when posts become available that he thinks may suit me. The whole team at Vision are friendly, supportive and know what they are doing! Being registered with Vision is most definitely a positive.

I couldn't recommend Vision highly enough for anyone looking for work as a teacher. After qualifying, I was incredibly nervous about doing supply and the unpredictability of my work. All of that was made significantly better after talking with Ryan and Donna who reassured me and guided me through the signing up process. The work I received was consistent and exactly what I needed. Olivia and Jordan have come in and are fantastic too - really top communicators and great at working around whatever schedule I have with other commitments. Ryan has great relationships with schools around Tameside and

Vision4Education is the best, long standing Teacher Supply Agency ever. 👍 The staff have decades of experience, the teamwork is excellent. 💯✔ After over a year of stagnation (though keeping up to qualify for Safeguarding etc), Vision4Education rebooted my registration 3 weeks ago, and have found me work each week since! Thank you Claire Darling for your superb, professional ethos. Well done everyone 💛

Since joining Vision for Education I can confidently say I’ve found a great work life balance. The team are amazingly supportive, non judgmental and extremely accommodating. I love being part of the Vision supply teaching staff and wouldn’t work for anyother agency. Highly recommend! Kathryn Simoni
