I'm a supply teacher and joined Flourish at the start of this academic year. Initially signed up with Beth who was great and kept me informed throughout the registration process. I've had great service from them. Was registered with a few teaching agencies over the years but Flourish have been one of the best. My current consultant Georgia has been amazing. She is always courteous and professional and found me work very quickly. Would highly recommend this agency if you are looking for supply work. Thanks again to Georgia and all the staff there, keep up the good work!!

Flourish Education has been fantastic to work for. Georgia has been a brilliant consultant and always finds me work and communicates with me every step of the way. I would definitely recommend Flourish Education to anyone who is ensure about what agency to sign up to. They are very professional and do things properly. She always secures me work at the best schools and will be honest when giving feedback about the school or feedback from the school.

I joined Flourish Education as a secondary cover teacher in November 2021 and working with them has been a great experience. The sign up process ran seamlessly thanks to Georgia and Ashleigh, who were very polite, friendly and organised. Georgia has consistently found me work that fits my preferences and has been a pleasure to liaise with due to her enthusiasm, organisation and caring nature. Flourish Education is fantastic teaching agency who genuinely cares about its teachers.

I had Jessica and Bethany supporting me from the first phonecall to them and cannot fault their dedication and efficiency to get everything set up to start supply teaching. Great communication, process explained clearly, was directly emailed with work for my first week that was local and a lovely school. They have been so friendly and helpful and have made my transition from teaching into supply a great experience. Thank you Flourish!

Flourish Education is a fantastic agency. Libby and the team are professional, attentive, and reliable. Libby's warm, welcoming and good communication skills were contributing factors for joining. Since joining at the start of January, I have had a very positive working experience and felt well supported for the registration and online training. I recommend working for Flourish Education.

Within a week of joining Flourish Education, I was offered a placement that suited me perfectly. Bethany has been very proactive throughout the process, she chased the references and kept me updated on every opportunity. Brilliant through out!

An outstanding company in every way. Many thanks.

Flourish Education is a welcoming, friendly and caring place to work. I have been working here since April and I can honestly say in my 4 months experience I have been praised, recognised and felt like part of the team from the offset. Everyone in the office is always willing to help each other out. The working hours are long in school term time but in the holidays finishing early and starting later is amazing!! Thank you to everyone in the team for making me feel welcome!

G. G.

I have been working at Flourish Education - recruiting for the education sector since December 2020 on this apprenticeship. Since I have worked here I have had a lot of training to support me within my role. I have had input in my role and had a voice within the business. We are able to discuss our capabilities with our manager and our consultants within the business and get support when needed. Its a fun, friendly and fair environment, when I find things challenging there is always someone to call. We have regularly done team building exercises, sales week and even had input in writing our core values. We have been included in earning commission, not only for bookings but also for compliance, this is a massive incentive. We also have guaranteed roles at the end! I couldn't have asked for a better place to work for when finding my footing on the career ladder

P. B.

I have signed up with Natalie. She was very helpful throughout the whole process and nothing was too much trouble. She is very friendly and professional at the same time with great knowledge about the jobs and schools. Natalie has found me long term job straight away. The job is tailored to my experiences and exactly what I was looking for. The company is well run and organised. They respond to any questions and enquiries very fast. Thank you Natalie and Flourish Education.

S. P.

Overall, I have had a great experience with Gwenyth and Courtney, who have both helped me to get work as quickly as possible. They are very thorough with registering, however, they have been able to get me to work in the area I want as quickly as possible. Both have been very supportive and have been responding very quickly to any queries. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for work in Education sector within Walsall. 5* agency

G. H.

Flourish is a fabulous place to work! I'm relatively new here and everyone has made me feel so welcome and the support here is great. It's a family run business where no one is just a number, Extremely fair management who will look after you and notice and reward your progression, team building days out/nights out, great benefits and great annual leave unlike many recruitment/office jobs!

H. G.

I have had the best experience since being signed up to flourish education. My advisor Joanne has been so helpful and always available if I need any support. They found me a role really quickly and in a school that I now love and have secured a permanent job at. I highly recommend flourish education to anyone looking for supply work!

T. E.

I recommend Florish Education for getting the job done quickly. Florish Education's professional and friendly approach helped to get all the references quickly and cleared my file ready to work within a month. I don't wait for a long time to get a job with them. My consultant is Lizzy, she listens to my queries and answers them immediately via phone & email. Lizzy helped me to get a long term job closer to my home. I really appreciate it.

B. W.

I have been working at Flourish for nearly a year now and i have feel welcomed and supported with the team around me. Everyone around me is willing to help each other. We do team building activities and the management around me is very supportive Flourish is a caring and supportive family run business!

A. R.

I have joined Flourish Education. Bethany has really been helpful, professional and encouraging in regards to joining the agency and finding work in the coming future. When I have questions I have found the agency responsive and positive helping to put my mind at rest. They are definitely a friendly and supportive organisation. I would strongly recommend this agency to anyone who is interested.

L. R.

The people who work at Flourish Education are really professional people. They do their best to find work me work on a regular basis and are understanding if I am unable to accept work with my busy life at home with my two children. They are easy to reach with a quick call and very responsive to emails. I would recommend this company for sure!

V. N.

I joined Flourish Education during the pandemic and they were great in helping me to find work when as we know it was difficult for some to find. I have found all the staff encouraging and helpful and I have enjoyed the work they have found for me. When i have questions I have found Flourish responsive and positive helping to put my mind at rest. They are definitely a friendly and supportive organisation.

A. W.

I had a call from Natalie just after Easter, about a vacancy at a primary school and even though I was reluctant to join another agency, Natalie was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable about the vacancy, and the process of joining was pretty fast and smooth, also the interview was nice and relaxed, and Gwyneth in the office has also been very helpful throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend flourish to other people thank you to you both for your hard work.

g. k.

I started working at Flourish Education in November. Natalie and Joe matched me to the best role for me and I actually ended up getting a job there. Natalie has been very helpful and friendly to me. I definitely recommend Flourish Education!

E. R.

I just want to say how fantastic Flourish education is. I have used other agencies before but they never seem to talk to each other and you get a different person each time you call. With Flourish I was directed immediately to Laura who found me fantastic job in a school, quickly and efficiently. She was easy to get hold of, and if she wasn't she would call me back as soon as possible. If I had any problems or issues she helped me deal with them. I've been in my new school a week and I love it! Before Flourish I was fed up with having to chase agencies to find me work and being fobbed off about the amount of work realistically available. Flourish practices what it preaches with honesty and straight talking...which is what we all want and need in regards to our livelihoods. Thank you Laura and thank you Flourish!

R. M.

All staff members especially the worker I was assigned is very supportive and found me a job to suit my needs . I can not thank Natalie enough for taking my circumstances into consideration and allowing me to have an open conversation with her.

B. S.

This is the first time I have joined with a agency. I was a bit hesitant at first however, the team put me at ease straight away! Natalie, was completely honest with me especially with the NQT job situation and was completely understanding of my needs. The process of the application to the document verification was done smoothly and efficiently. Gwyneth, was also very friendly and ensured things were done quickly and on time. I am very happy so far and as a result i have been able to secure a place as TA till the end of term. :)

H. R.

Been working for Flourish for a number of years now and I am constantly impressed with all the staff I talk to on a daily basis, they are so approable and efficient. Natalie is my contact and Consultant who is amazing at her job. She is always dedicated and goes above and beyond to place me in schools that are right for the school and for me. Rest assured Natalie also knows what's best for me. She likes to challenge my abilities by pushing me past my comfort zone when is comes to working in different year groups. THANK YOU Natalie, you always get it right.

K. C.

I registered with Libby who is approachable, proactive and understanding. The interview was relaxed and she made me feel at ease. Libby found me a supporting role immediately in a lovely, supportive school and is encouraging about future prospects. The registration process was quick and efficient. Courtney was friendly, helpful and highly professional ensuring I was cleared for work quickly.

Flourish Education is great place to work - the team is so supportive and are always on hand to help. I love working for a Director that believes in you, values your work and creates opportunities for you to progress your career.

Flourish Education is extremely amazing, they are all great. I'm working with George as my consultant, he has been amazing and is a superb guy, constantly working hard to get me work. He always offers me great support and stays in regular contact. Thank you George.

S. B.

Flourish have always done their best to find interesting and appropriate assignments for me over the last 2 years. Lizzy was great at keeping in touch and knowing how important our weekly check-ins were during lockdown. I will miss our regular chats now that I am moving on to a permanent role elsewhere but would not hesitate to sign up again in future if I was looking for school work again.

P. B.

The registration process was dealt with extremely quick and efficiently by Toni and I was working within a week of registration. Joanne is very supportive and takes on board your strengths and weakness when allocating your work. I would highly recommend Flourish Education.

H. M.

Flourish Education are an excellent agency who are extremely professional. I can highly recommend Natalie Breakspear in particular and the rest of the friendly team of course . She has been very supportive and has always made sure to tailor work to my requirements. Every time I have had a questions she has responded promptly and put my mind to rest. I am looking forward to establish a long and happy professional relationship with her. She has never made me feel uncomfortable discussing any concerns.

S. 1.

Recommend Flourish Education! Got me into work right away, there always there to help if you need them, extremely helpful and Polite staff

J. S.

I’ve been at Flourish Education for 5 years having previously worked in a different recruitment sector. Flourish promotes from within and has provided me with career progression, having been promoted every year since I started with them. The training Flourish provides is second to none and caters for all. I’m surrounded by fun, hardworking, like minded colleagues who all strive to provide a friendly and excellent service to both candidates and clients. If you are looking to work for a supportive, progressive and transparent business, I highly recommend Flourish Education.

K. N.

I re registered after taking a break from working and re registered with Gwyneth who is friendly and understanding. The interview was relaxed and made me feel very much at ease. The process was quick and easy. After being cleared they still regularly keep in contact with calls about work and are continuously trying to find me work which best suits me and what I what whilst being very understanding if I don’t accept work due to wanting a specific role within schools which isn’t in as high a demand in the current climate after Covid.

L. H.

I worked for Flourish since 2014 and, as it was my first recruitment role, I decided to take a year out to try different companies. I worked for 2 well known companies and decided to return to Flourish last May and I'm really glad I did! Their values really match my own, I value their honesty, integrity and transparency with internal staff, our candidates and our clients. We are a hardworking, friendly team and everyone encourages each other. I highly recommend Flourish for anyone looking for a recruitment position.

G. T.

I started working for Flourish in August 2017 with no previous recruitment experience. The training provided was great and allowed me to hit the ground running when I started on the Worcestershire desk. The working environment is always good fun, with the staff able to have a laugh whilst working through the day keeping a good atmosphere. If you are looking for a chance in recruitment to work for a great family run agency, this is the place to be.

J. H.

Flourish have been straight forward and professionally supportive helping me with my first experience of teaching agency work. As an experienced qualified teacher unsure of how to navigate the new process of using an agency to find supply work they answered all of my questions and made the process of getting into a school quick and easy. Their terms are very transparent but above all the team is always at the end of a phone line ready to help and support me.

e. b.

Flourish Education are professional supportive and encouraging! They are helpful and welcoming and always happy to help and find work to suit your needs! I returned to work after a long illness and they made it easy! All are friendly and helpful and bend over backwards to adapt to your individual needs! I now have regular schools that quickly book up my 2-3 days a week and also enjoy the occasional new school! The staff at flourish are understanding if there are issues personally, health wise or with a school, and are happy to accommodate! They are the best agency if you have to juggle other responsibilities including child care. I am proud to represent for flourish education and I know that the schools I go to for them also have a good relationship with them!

j. b.

Having looked at several recruitment agencies I decided to register with Flourish Education as I found their approach both professional and supportive. In particular I have had regular contact with Josh Parsons who listened carefully to the type of positions I was looking for and has successfully found placements for me in wonderful schools. During long term contracts the staff make follow up calls to ensure that everything is running smoothly and they can always be contacted if required. Whatever position you are looking for, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Flourish Education.

M. A.

Courtney has excellent communication skills and is always highly professional when responding to enquiries. She is friendly, helpful and dedicated. She made my joining in process smooth and easy. Thank you!

W. J.

Georgia at Flourish made clearance straight forward and placed me in a great secondary school.

A. P.

I have worked at Flourish Education for nearly 5 years and I can honestly say I love my job! The team I work with are hardworking, fun, motivated and we are all working towards the same goals. The office has a good atmosphere we work hard but we all stop and have a laugh and joke and then we are straight back to it. We regulary socialise together be it for food, drinks or even The Wolf Run ! if you are looking for a new role in education recruitment then give us a call, it was the best decision I made.

R. P.

Flourish are fantastic and work hard on my behalf as a teacher. Joanne Street and Laura have been very good in securing me work when I need it and when I have been available. Joanne is communicative and helpful. She knows me as a teacher, my strengths and weaknesses and my preferences. I like this company and thoroughly recommend them.

G. A.

After struggling to even register with some agencies I was recommended Flourish Education by a friend. I contacted Flourish and they acted very quickly getting me registered and up and running. Within a week or registering I was in work. Since then I have not been out of work and now have a long term role in a school that I love. I would highly recommend Flourish Education to anyone looking to be a Supply Teacher.

F. A.

Flourish education are the best supply agency for teachers that I have used. The staff are efficient, friendly and always on hand to offer support and advice, whether that’s during the school day or out of hours. There aren’t many companies that you can call out of hours and get the same high level service you receive during the day. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

L. C.

I would like to thank Joanne Street for the fantastic work she does. I signed up with Flourish last Summer after 20 years as a full time teacher, very nervous and worried about doing supply. She has kept me in regular work and always checks up to see how the day has gone and thank me for my efforts. Even when it has been quiet she speaks to me regularly just to reassure me that I haven't been forgotten. She is always very polite, courteous and caring and it has been my pleasure to work with her since September. My enthusiasm for teaching has well and truly been rekindled. Long may it continue. Thanks Jo.

K. P.

Bethany has excellent communication skills and is always highly professional when responding to enquiries. She is friendly, helpful, dedicated and evidently works diligently to provide a high quality service to clients. In addition, Bethany is organised and puts people at ease. She is an active listener and very approachable. Overall, I would fully recommend this recruitment agency.

L. D.

I have worked at Flourish Education for 4 months and I am thoroughly enjoying myself. I have received consistent and helpful training throughout my time here and I am surrounded by such a supportive team who always want you to achieve your best. I look forward to seeing where my career will progress with Flourish Education.

L. H.

Flourish are the best agency I've worked for. They listen to me when I tell them what sort of work I'm looking for and treat me like they actually value me. I know that some agencies are not averse to a bit if 'sharp practice' to drive down costs, but Flourish have never treated me with anything other than respect for my professional skills.

Z. L.

An excellent agency who are extremely thorough! I can highly recommend Glenn Turner in particular (and the rest of the friendly team). He always takes the time to find out what your requirements are. He truly listens to you and makes you feel appreciated for the work that you carry out. I have enjoyed working in the schools that I have been placed in. If there have been any concerns I have never felt uncomfortable to discuss them.

k. b.

Flourish Education are very helpful and welcoming. The staff are understanding and are happy to accommodate with any issues! I am proud to represent for flourish education and I know that the schools I go to for them also have a good relationship with them! I would definitely recommend them.

Hi I have just recently started at Flourish Education and the staff working there including Joanne and Toni have been incredibly helpful with finding the right work and supporting me with my DBS update.

D. H.

An excellent service from a professional recruitment agency. Teachers arrive promptly and are enthusiastic. The agency ensures that all the correct vetting checks are in place prior to their arrival. I would recommend Flourish Education Dan Sewell and the rest of the team to any schools trying to recruit either day to day or long term supply teachers.

I've worked with a few agencies in the last two years, however flourish education is by far the best agency I've worked with. The consultants always tried their best to find me work and they have updated me on schools who are looking for teacher assistants in my field, I would highly recommend.

Y. S.

I joined flourish just before the Christmas holidays. I have found joanna to be really approachable and easy to talk to. I have worked a couple of days this month through flourish, the experience has been pleasant. Hopefully this is the start of many more opportunities. Thanks jo

My experience with Flourish and Dan Sewell in particular was extremely positive and I would highly recommend them to any education professionals looking for employment. Simon Hinsley

C. W.

Organised and professional. Flourish gained me work at a local secondary school and within 15 mins of walking in the door I was sorted for the next half term. Since extending the role, the team have been organised and have provided me with all the information I’ve needed. Pay slips arrive on time. Easy to contact and quickly sort out problems.

D. P.

The staff here work very hard to get the registration process completed quickly ready for work. They also listen to the areas you would like to work in and get work opportunities sent to you straight away. Thank you in particular to Natalie Breakspear, who did so much to get me into the school that I wanted.

s. s.

Love working for this company they find you work good schools. Plus if you put in the effort both with the company, consulant and schools you have assignments with, be assured that you will get more work and enjoy working for them. Hats off to Joanne street my consulant who always provides me with work early h week. Would recommend this company.

K. P.

So far so good! Started with flourish in January and have found them hard working and professional. They've listened to what I want and have found me some great assignments. I look forward to continuing working for them for the foreseeable future.

R. T.

Laura and Nathalie have been really friendly and helpful.They told me lots of useful information about the post and the school before I started.They've found me as school that was ideal for me and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone who is looking for work in schools.

S. Z.

They are very helpful in finding long time placements. Laura my consultant in particular is very informative and very nice to communicate and work with, always keeping me uptodate with work prospects.

I have worked for Flourish since September 2021. Glenn (Turner) is professional, courteous and polite. Everything you would expect from an agent. I have placed in suitable work settings and supported when necessary. Highly recommend Flourish Agency to anybody including ECTs (I am one!)

P. J.

I joined Flourish in February and my experience has been nothing but positive during the time I have been with them. As an NQT who has had some really difficult experiences so far, Flourish have been so encouraging in helping me get back on my feet. My consultant Richard is absolutely incredible. He is professional and dedicated and works extremely hard to find schools that are best suited to me. He consistently checks in if I have been with a new school, which is again really encouraging to me as an NQT. Richard always ensures that he is available for me to contact should I need him, even if this is out of hours, and liaises with schools efficiently to make processes easier for me. He is a credit to Flourish and truly brilliant at his job. I cannot recommend Flourish highly enough.
