Prospero Teaching Reviews 938

Prospero teaching are a good service to work with, they are supportive, approachable and efficient and friendly have worked with them for over 14 months and appreciate all the support given.

Prospero Education is a great agency to work with. The sign up process is quick and efficient and every effort is made to ensure you have support every step of the way.
The team take the time to get to know and understand you and what roles would be best for you.
Within a few days of being registered I was offered a long term placement. Since then I have had work every day.
My point of contact Charlotte Wingfield is incredible! She is very understanding and compassionate. What is different about working with Charlotte compared to past experiences is she takes the time to look after my well-being and ensure I am happy and know that I have a place to turn to if I have any problems with work related issues.
I feel like a valued employee with Prospero!
Thank you Charlotte and the team for all you do for me!

I would highly recommend joining prospero, the rate of pay is better than most agencies, the work is consistent and the team are great!

I definitely recommend Charlotte as a recruitment consultant… if you can request her as yours, then absolutely do so!

Hi,

I was contacted regarding a tutoring role and was excited about the opportunity. I completed the online video registration and uploaded all the requested documents via the link provided.

However, I encountered an issue. I was later sent another link asking me to complete a DBS check and pay £56. This is confusing, as I already have a valid DBS certificate that I obtained four months ago. My understanding is that if a new DBS check were required, Prospero would cover the cost. I am not willing to pay for this, as it was never communicated upfront that I would need a new DBS or bear the cost myself.

Additionally, I am frustrated that I had to upload my documents twice without this process being clarified beforehand. Why wasn’t this communicated earlier?

Frankly, this process feels disorganized and misleading, and I am now concerned it might be a scam. I regret not researching more thoroughly before committing my time to this.

Could you please clarify these issues?

Registration was rocky with poor communication & unorganisation. Completely unprofessional & disingenuous staff within the tutoring department who abuse their positions as consultants. If they do not want to give you an assignment /tutoring role, they don't take your calls, ignore your reply emails & tell you they shall call you back/email you later but never do. Consultants force tutoring role upon you with disingenuity which is done over the phone.

Grace was a great first point of contact, the registration process was efficient and enjoyable leading me to take on a role that I hadn't realised I even wanted but that I really like!

A good, friendly onboarding experience and my consultant was able to provide me with work very quickly.

After recently being made redundant I knew I wanted a complete career change but didn’t know where to start or how to get into being a teaching assistant. I turned to Louis Harris who made the whole process feel stress free and made me feel confident into stepping into something I have never done. Louis has been so helpful and quick at getting me where I need to be. I feel so grateful to have had his help and guidance. I would recommend Louis to anyone who is looking into starting a new chapter.

Starting with the interview, the first consultant (interviewer) seemed promising, and genuine, but there were early signs of disorganisation: my name was input incorrectly, which could complicate documents. They promised to follow up after, but didn't (never replied to texts and emails for weeks). Every time I called the branch they always responded she's not in/ on break and will tell her to call back (which she never did). Another person then took over.
On my first day, I was tasked with providing 1:1 support for a student. Upon arrival, no one at the school seemed aware of my role, so I was given random tasks, moving between classrooms, and even assisting with lunch duties—completely unrelated to my job description. The school later informed me they wanted me back for two months to work with the same student. Hoping for another attempt, I returned, only to be unexpectedly assigned to a different student without any prior explanation.
After working for 2 days, the school informed they no longer needed me- they broke the promise. The consultant said there is nothing they can do, things like this happen a lot. Then reassured they would update if there is another job. They never did, so I had to contact them weekly but returned with disappointment. At the end my consultant became unreachable and the branch never returned my calls
One thing to emphasise is they don't protect you, makes you feel like a disposable utensil, and sides with the school if anything happen. Disappointed and very unprofessional

I had an excellent experience with the onboarding process at Prospero, thanks to Allegria. From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful, kind, and considerate. She took the time to walk me through every step, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed. Allegria was always patient, ready to answer any questions I had, and provided support whenever needed. Her welcoming nature made the entire process much smoother and less overwhelming. She is a lovely person and truly represents Prospero Teaching in the best possible way. I'm grateful for her guidance and support as I settled into my new role!

Jess Carroll,in Liverpool office. She has been amazing. Her communication, availability, response time, flexibility, support etc etc have all been 5*. She is always polite, attentive, knowledgeable and helpful and completely proffesional. A credit to herself and the company. I have put a date for this review but it is since my first contact with her and every contact with her.

With their help I was able to gain full-time employment and though there were a few hiccups with my pay at the start this was quickly resolved.

Decent Workfinding Services and Excellent support from the recruitment team, Especially Ms. Brianna Smith!

Good organisation really looked after me.

Fantastic company, great service, extremely friendly and helpful and amazing at finding continuous work! Well recommended!

Offered me teaching & TA work. Got me long term work in a private school which turned permanent. After I was unfortunately made redundant from said private school (falling pupil numbers), Bryony has again been helpful in getting me steady work. Many thanks to Bryony & Catherine.

Been with Prospero just after COViD and as a new mom. They have been so helpful and supportive and always trying to find the best role suited for me. Tom is absolutely amazing.

The registration for this company was smooth and efficient, each person I've spoken to has been incredibly helpful in getting me sorted as quickly as possible to be able to work. They found a placement for me within weeks of my registration and have continued to provide support and regular check-ins to see how I am doing. I really appreciate how dedicated everyone is to providing help and support where needed!

I contacted Prospero Teaching about a vacancy for a SEN teaching role, and they promptly replied, offering helpful guidance that facilitated a smooth application process.

Thank you.

I’ve had a great experience with prospero teaching. Hollie has been very informative and happy to help, letting me know about each stage and everything even while I have not been in the city!
