Reviews of QT Education

s. j.

I have worked for QT Education for about 4 years now. Jon and the team are amazing and very proactive in obtaining work both short and long term. There is always support and clear communication as well as excellent rates. Particular care is taken with your skill set and subjects as well as how often you want to work. I only use one agency now and that is QT Education. I would recommend QT Education to any teacher and professional, they are simply the best and outstanding. Thank you QT Education.

The best agency that I've worked for: friendly, supportive, efficient and, above all, busy. Highly recommended!

B. H.

The Team have been excellent. Great communication. I have been made to feel a valued member of staff.

J. D.

QT supported me through what many experienced teachers at the schools I supplied for have called the hardest year they've had and it was my first! They were quick to respond to any and all questions and provide guidance. They offered the highest pay rates of the many agencies I signed up to and secured me the most work. A fantastic agency and highly recommended.

S. B.

What a delight to work with this friendly and incredibly efficient team who are always available to help - always with a smile, even during stressful times. Don't waste time looking anywhere else!

Highly recommended

F. S.

My experience with QT is that they offer a friendly and courteous service and hold strong connections to the schools where they provide teaching support. Benefits of working for QT is how flexible they are to your needs. Although it is best to remain flexible you can state the days you are available for work and how far you are prepared to travel and this will be taken into account. Also, they are committed to finding you the most suitable appointments. I was booked for three months delivering in my subject specialism. In addition you are given the chance to experience a variety of subjects. The salary is set at a daily rate and is in line with current market trends. I recommend QT as a highly professional agency if you want to expand your teaching skills or want more control of your work life.

C. H.

Working for QT Education has meant that I have had experience of the schools in my locality to see what they are like on a day to day basis. Often the true impression of a school cannot be seen in a planned visit or on interview day. During the pandemic, QT Education arranged my furlough and was able to get me work when schools returned to face to face teaching. I have recommended QT Education to other teachers and supply teachers that I know, so I am pleased to give a Google review for their superb service. I really feel like part of the team and that I am listened to regarding my work.

C. W.

Professional, personal and supportive agency without fault. Jon quickly found work for me and was excellent throughout my time in schools. QT Education has been especially attentive and responsive to the welfare of supply staff throughout the pandemic, highlighting the benefit of working with a local, independent supply agency.

D. O.

I would definitely recommend signing with Qt Education. I had two periods of being a supply teacher. After such a good experience first time around, QT was the first agency on my list to resign with the second time. Dealing with QT was always easy and rewarding. With such a personal approach you, feel valued as a teacher and member of the QT team. Unlike with some agencies, there was no pressure to work when/where I couldn’t or didn’t want to and the schools QT work with are excellent too. In summary, I can’t recommend them highly enough. You won’t regret signing with QT Education.

J. C.

QT Education are both highly professional and hugely personable. They have kept me in mind for schools they know I love, listened to every concern I have had if anything untoward/unexpected in a school and absolutely NEVER pressured me into working when I haven't wanted to. With some other agencies I have had a concern when I have said no to an assignment in case they don't pass any more my way. I am not even concerned about that happening with QT. Thanks, team. I'll be back

S. C.

I worked with QT education when I was between teaching jobs and they were by far the best agency that I worked with in this time. The team were always helpful and did their best to match me with schools that suited my needs as well as those of the school. Chris was always just a phone call away, kept in touch with what work and options were available to me, and was always kind and friendly, with no judgements if I had to change my availability last minute or decided not to take a job. Other agencies that I worked with treated me as a number on a list and took big cuts from my earnings, but to the team at QT always treat their teachers as people, are open about their payments (with minimal deductions), and understand the complexities of life. When I am next looking for work in the South West, QT will be my first port of call!

h. t.

Working for QT was an extremely positive experience for me . The team are professional and organised and did all they could to provide me with the work I required. I was able to set my own boundaries around when and where I worked and felt that there was an excellent understanding between the schools I worked for , myself as teacher and QT as the agency. I could not recommend them more to both teachers and schools alike: a very personable and friendly agency .

K. B.

I worked with QT Education from December 2020 - July 2021 and I absolutely loved working with the team at QT. I really enjoyed working with a smaller agency like QT as they take great care of their teachers, and their work schedule is very flexible, I can’t recommend QT enough for NQTs and experienced teachers alike!

J. G.

Having worked with QT as a supply teacher for a little over two years, I would not hesitate in recommending the company. Chris, Jon and Ros provide a superb level of service and have not only kept me pretty much fully employed in local schools, but show a consistent, genuine interest in my progress and satisfaction in the schools in which I have been placed. QT is happy to offer as much work as needed and communication has been easy, with very quick responses to questions or issues in need of resolution. It is somewhat unusual in supply agencies to say that there is a "family feel", but that is how I would best describe the relationship between QT and its teachers. QT has offered me exactly what I needed as a supply teacher and I will continue to enjoy working with them for some time to come.

D. P.

Very happy with my year at QT. Chris and the team were super helpful and professional from the outset. I only wanted a few days work a week and apart from the odd day they found me work almost everyday I was available. They were very organised and easy to work with. I will be recommending their service to my other friends and colleagues.

B. P. N.

This agency was recommended to me by another teacher friend for their personable, efficient service and QT certainly lived up to this recommendation. Chris was so supportive and patient, and took the time to understand what I wanted to get out of doing supply as a teacher, and helped match me up to suitable placements. I never felt under any pressure to take work; likewise I felt that if I wanted more days, then QT would help to make that happen. As a result I had a really positive experience doing supply and wouldn't hesitate to use QT again if I come back to supply teaching.

S. A.

QT deserves to get all of it's 5* reviews! It really is a fantastic agency to work for. Highly professional, empathetic to your needs and fully supportive. You are treated as an individual and as a result the relationship with the agency becomes a very positive one. I would recommend them to anyone. They certainly made my experience of supply teaching a brilliant one!

S. M.

I have worked for several supply teaching agencies over the last few years and QT Education is the only one I would recommend without any hesitation. Chris is the best agency contact I have dealt with: helpful, considerate and very supportive. It is a shame that, due to the nature of the job, I had to rely on other agencies. If you are new to supply teaching QT Education should be the first agency you talk to.

A. F.

I would easily give QT education more than 5 stars. This agency really cares about all its partners, be they a school, a full-time supply teacher or just an occasional day or even half-day supply teacher like me. Chris is my contact and he very successfully matches teachers with schools. He has a very friendly approach and is extremely organised. Most certainly THE BEST agency I've worked with.

A. W.

QT are a great team to work with. Since finishing full time teaching and moving to suppy work they have always been supportive and I have never lacked opportunities for work. They ensure the posts they offer me are suitable and related to my subject. I was happy to be able to take a long term part time appoitment which they negotiated and enabled. They have made my transition to supply work smooth and I have enjoyed every minute.

N. L.

I have dealt with a number of teaching agencies, some of them being very good. However, QT Education surpasses them all. They are extremely personal, get lots of work for me and are responsive to my wishes. Every school that uses them seems to value them highly, too. I have not one hesitation in recommending them unreservedly.

s. t.

Before working for QT, I enrolled with several agencies. At the end, I have decided to stay with QT Education as it was the only agency I really enjoyed working with. I have worked with QT for 4 years. I also have recommended my friends to work for QT and so far, they are still working there. I highly recommend QT Education and I do miss Chris's phone calls. The best of the best agency! T Siab

J. E.

QT Education was a fantastic stepping stone for me to work in a variety of schools locally. I found their support fantastic and would recommend them as the BEST supply agency in the area. They also found permanent work when I wanted in a super school. Jon really looked after me with the times I was available to work, also finding supply work in my field of Art, leading to longer term appointments. Hearing other teachers complain about the agencies they were with, I think I was very lucky to have found QT Education. Couldn't recommend them more highly. Your in good hands.

P. M.

I can’t recommend these guys more! I’ve worked in teaching for many years and done several stints of supply work during this time. I’ve worked with several agencies but none come close to the fantastic level of service QT provides to their staff, with a perfect blend of professionalism combined with a personal touch. All the schools I work with expect QT personnel to be of a high standard and none have anything but positive comments about QT and the excellent service they provide. If you want to feel like you are part of an organisation of successful people providing quality support to schools then Jon, Ros and Chris are the people to talk to.

L. K.

QT Education is a great agency to work for and well-respected by supply teachers and schools alike. The team at QT are friendly, professional and extremely efficient. This is my third year of working with them and I know they will do their best to find work that fits my needs. I highly recommend QT to all prospective supply teachers - you will not regret joining the team.

A. M.

The QT team are professional, efficient and accommodating. Working with Chris an Jon for over 2 years now, I have always picked up work in my specialism and they are flexible to work around your timetable too. They offer a bespoke service that many other agencies do not, you are not just a number or a job, you are person and that makes a big difference. I really could not recommend the QT team highly enough.

S. H.

I have worked for QT for 7 years, between and during school contracts. I could not recommend them enough. I have found Chris, Jon and Ros great to work with; very friendly, approachable, supportive and incredibly professional. They really know and understand schools, teachers and supply work.

K. B.

I worked with QT education for a year and I was very pleased with the service they offered. I was offered regular work at decent schools and the agency always did their best to give me advanced notice of any work that was available. I was also offered regular work in certain schools which allowed me to build a relationship with staff and pupils in that school. I found the staff very helpful and professional, so I would certainly recommend this agency to anyone considering working as a supply teacher.

B. M.

This is a GENUINE review - not Google generated! As a supply teacher for the past 2 years, I only discovered QT Education fairly recently. Oh! HOW I wish I had known about them from the beginning. They stand out head and shoulders above their 'competitors'n in almost every way. They pay to scale where appropriate. They are incredibly freindly and supportive. They are a small company and seem uninterested in growing into a vast business, as far as I can tell. They are great commuinicators. They are honest and transparent. And, best of all, they make you feel valued, respected and treat you as the professional that you are. Cann't recommend them enough! BJM (Secondary)

H. D.

Easily the best in the south west! I’ve worked with QT on and off for several years, as well as other supply teaching agency’s, and they are head and shoulders above the rest. Professional and friendly at all times, they always took into consideration my own preferences and 99.9% of the time could find me work in high quality local schools as and when needed. Both on a long and short term basis. As a smaller firm compared to larger agencies, you get a far better experience. They gave me the best rate when compared to the competition and I was always paid in a timely manner. If you’re not already working with QT (I found supply teaching a million times better than working in a school full time) then make that call ASAP! Henry Dagger

J. G.

An absolutely fantastic, personal and friendly agency for supply teachers. I had the pleasure of working with QT for several years and had a consistently excellent experience. Chris, Jon and Ros go above and beyond for their teachers and the schools they work with and really make you feel like part of the team. There was plenty of work with schools all around the Bath/Bristol/Wiltshire and N Somerset area and QT get to know each and every teacher they represent. The gold standard for teaching agencies.

W. A.

I registered with QT Education as a Supply Teacher 4 years ago and can wholly recommend them. You can be assured of excellent friendly service and a reliable consistency of work - definitely the best agency I have worked for. I always recommend QT to colleagues whenever the opportunity arises!

A.

QT Education helped me to get various shorter term roles when I moved to Bristol, a little over a year ago. After a few months working with them, they helped to secure a long term role in a very good independent school - a school I really enjoy teaching in. On top of this, Chris in particular ,has been really helpful, friendly and professional and has always endeavoured to ensure I got paid the rate(s) I felt I deserved! I have always been treated like a person, not a commodity, at QT Education. In short, I couldn't recommend highly enough.

j. c.

I highly recommend QT. Having returned to teaching after a long break, they have supported me every step of the way and I have never looked back. They are friendly, approachable and highly professional, successfully meeting the needs of all parties concerned, which has earned them their well-deserved reputation amongst schools and teachers alike. Chris and his colleagues always listen and have successfully met my flexible needs for the last few years that I have been with them. They have good lines of communication and are so pleasant to work with, making you feel part of their team. They make every effort to make things operate as smoothly as possible with advanced bookings and always sending the relevant information required for each job. I count myself so lucky to have found them!

E. F.

A great agency to work for. QT works with some lovely schools in Somerset and Jon will work hard to get you the jobs that are best suited to your needs. I like the fact that I can change my working days without being questioned as I have found some of the larger agencies do ask why you wish to do this. The total flexibility works really well for me. The pay is very competitive and there is no added fee for using an umbrella agent to access your salary. Some of the larger agencies do charge you for this. I have met some really friendly, nice, supply teachers across the schools and it is great to see them from time to time in the schools that you go to and most of them work for QT, so that says something!

N. M.

A really professional and caring company. I received great support from the team at QT education who consistently found me excellent placements within suitable commuting distances. Well worth a call.

l. P.

Excellent agency!!! Would strongly recommend anyone to use - that is looking for supply teaching work in Bristol and surrounding area. QT staff are friendly, quick to communicate and really do care about their staff and safety, which is fantastic. They also accomodate breaks in employment (for other work) - truly honoured to part of the QT journey and look forward to coming back soon. :-)

S. R.

QT are an absolutely brilliant agency to work for. The team are highly organised, friendly and allow you to be flexible in the days/schools you choose without putting any pressure on. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend QT to any teachers who are looking for supply work.

I. R.

What a fantastic organisation. I gave up full time teaching a few years ago and looked for some supply work to keep the money coming in. Someone recommended QT to me and I got in touch with them. Chris was professional, friendly and caring from the outset. I really felt like I was valued for my skills and treated very well. Even though I'm back full time (There's no escape!), I get the occasional email from Chris just checking in on how I'm doing. I have no reservation in recommending QT to colleagues who are looking for a top notch supply teaching firm.

K. E.

By far the best Supply agency in the Bristol area. Always paying staff fairly. Chris and Jon spare time to chat to you about your experiences in different schools and if possible try and get you work in your preferred schools. I have worked for them on and off for 2 years, at the beginning I worked for another agency too soon to realise the difference between the two and dropping work from the other. Furthermore they are completely flexible around any other work you may have. During the lockdown I didnt even have to ask about furlough it was sorted out immediately for everyone without question. Thankyou for everything QT and I'm sure that sometime in the future we may work together again! Kate :)

R. B.

QT Education... simply the best supply teachers agency I’ve ever worked for. A highly professional outfit, Chris, Jon and Ros are small enough to have the personal touch and friendly family feel, but also have the reach across several southwest educational regions. They have a sense of humour too. Trust in QT... they will get you all you need.

S. F.

Having had a sufficiently bad experience with one agency, which led me to knock the idea of supply on the head, I fortunately stumbled across QT Education. I spoke to Jon, who interviewed me almost immediately, and as soon as the paper-work (CRB & so forth) was completed, the work came flooding in. Jon and his team are incredibly professional, very empathetic/sympathetic to one’s individual requirements and restrictions. They will tailor the work to your needs. If I want to work 3 days, I get 3 days. If I want 5 days (which I do mostly), I get 5 days. Bar the first week or two in September, there are very few days in the year that I am not working when I am available. I have also been offered lots of long-term & contractual work through QT. If you get sent to a school new to QT, they will value your opinion about what it’s like to do supply at that school. This means that they have decent schools on their books. They are also very pleasant and trustworthy people. I am now well into my 7th year with QT, and have not even vaguely thought of going with another agency. Furthermore, when I speak to other teachers who are with QT, and staff at the schools themselves, they are also equally positive. I have no hesitation in highly recommending them.

P. J.

I have been working with QT Education for the past few years. I have found them to be very professional whilst being friendly and helpful. They care about their staff. They have found me excellent placements and I now work exclusively with them as they are able to find all of the work I needed prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. The company then furloughed its staff and continued to support me during this time. I feel a sense of loyalty to them because they have always been so supportive.

L. G.

My supply experience with QT has been brilliant! Chris is friendly, sincere, approachable and considerate. I've always felt that QT is on my side when dealing with schools. They prepare the schools' info in great details prior to the appointments, they do their best to make sure you are happy where you are sent to. If I return to work as a supply again, I'll go with them.

L. W.

Jon and the team are fantastic. I left teaching - never to return! at Easter 2018 and after meeting with Jon that July I felt that he understood my situation and felt no pressure. I am very regularly offered local work for the 2 days a week I am available. I would highly recommend QT and am very happy with them. They also have a good reputation in the schools that I visit.

E. M.

I had a great time working for QT. QT gave me an opportunity to work in different schools, which enabled me to see and learn how different schools work. After teaching full time for many years, I decided to MSc in education psychology. Initially I signed up for one supply agency. But when doing supply I met other supply teachers and talking to them about their experience of working for qt was far better than my agency. I decided to apply to work for qt and I called Chris. Chris was professional, positive, flexible and friendly. Chris left his office and came to meet me in my town long way from his office. That really touched me and really felt valued and my well being considered. The telephone calls for supply work were the day before or in good time in the morning to allow time to get to schools. The communication between QT, the school and me was so smooth, which made things less stressful. The payment was on time, paid direct by qt and not by another organisation like my previous agency. I now teach in Hong Kong and Chris was checking how I am doing and that he hopes, may be one day our paths may cross again. But it shows the care that QT has towards their staff even after they have moved on to other schools. For those considering doing supply work, I strongly recommend working for a top quality organisation QT and I do/will continue recommending QT to former colleagues and friends. Good luck QT, keep up the wonderful work you do.

a.

I worked with QT in between finishing my PGCE and starting my NQT post. They were super helpful and professional. Because of the pandemic, there was not a lot of supply work available, but I felt very supported on the days that I was working. They were very quick to respond to any questions I had as well as supporting me in my job search for a full time teaching position. They were very positive and professional, which was just the encouragement I needed at the start of my teaching career. :)

S. M.

An excellent Supply Teaching Agency. I have worked with QT Education for the past three years and have felt myself to be a valued member of a well organised and professional team along with Chris, Jon and Ros. They have usually found appropriate work for me either on the day or booked in advance. Chris who covers my local area has always been helpful, understanding and a pleasure to deal with. QT Education has achieved a great reputation with the schools and also with the teachers!

S. W.

Absolutely lovely supply agency. Jon and the team are really approachable and happily help with any issues. I've never felt pressured into taking work I didn't want and I've always been paid swiftly and accurately. If you are looking for supply work QT Education should definitely be your first stop.

x. f.

I have been working as a supply teacher for three years. QT is professional, friendly and considerate . The agency works hard to arrange jobs around my skills and needs. Highly recommended.

J. M.

This will be my 4th year with QT, having been recommended by another QT teacher. My onboarding meeting was a very easy process and I was kept informed at all stages. Jon and the team are very understanding of the fact that I decide to make myself available when I want to and never get upset when I am unable to take a booking. I feel part of a very professional team and QT are not afraid of using technology that makes my life so much easier when I turn up at any school. Any issues and suggestions I may have are sympathetically and professionally dealt with. I am proud to turn up to a school with my QT ID badge as they view QT as providing quality, professionals who care about the students. Nice touches that no other agency offer are charitable donations and an annual get together for what is often a lonely job. They value our views and feedback and act upon them. I look forward to many more successful years with Jon and the team.

A. M.

Jon and the team are always really professional and easy to talk to. They keep in contact regularly and obviously work really hard to keep you busy. I have worked for QT for the last 2 years after my ‘jump’ from teaching, and have not looked back. Whole heartedly recommend.

T. G.

Superb agency for teachers. In all the times I have worked with QT they have been first-class in every way. They understand differing needs, they listen and they deliver an excellent service. All dealings I have had with their staff have been great, without exception. I highly recommend QT Education; an excellent service is provided for all.

C. B.

Professional, efficient and honest agency with a wealth of experience in education. Chris was a pleasure to work with and kept me working all year. The very open and transparent nature of this agency made a welcome change from the usual ‘recruitment’ style. I now have a permanent job but if I ever go back to supply teaching I will definitely use QT. I’d highly recommend them.

A. M.

QT are a great team to work with. Locally based so they know the area and its schools well, offer a much more specialised and personal service than the big national agencies. Have kept me busy most times of the school year and have always been excellent at finding long term placements.

h.

I can't recommend QT Education highly enough. The team have been supportive, understanding and made me feel welcome an an important part of the team from the start. Should I find myself looking for supply work in the future QT Education will be the first agency I contact.

C. E.

QT Education are small professionally run teaching agency that have a great relationship with both schools and teachers. Had a great relationship with the team and would highly recommend them to any teacher working in south west. Top guys.

H. H.

I can’t speak highly enough of QT. They are by far the most organised agency I have worked with. They are friendly and personable and incredibly positive to work with. Every phone call is made in a friendly way, even under the huge pressures of early morning placement of teachers. Would thoroughly recommend!

M. M.

True professionals and very committed to make things work both for teachers and the schools they work with- hence the high reputation Jon & co have got in schools and among fellow teachers! Also, very sympathetic of work- 'real life' balance and so supportive in every situation. Very dedicated in all points of view ( I used to get so much work through them!!) and very friendly! I have always felt supported and happy to go to work while I had been working with them -Well done guys! I moved recently to Spain and I miss working with them! Brilliant team!

H. A.

QT Education have been a dream to work with. Excellent communication and really personable. Jon and the team have been amazing and I would highly recommend QT education to anyone thinking of doing supply teaching through this agency.

K. C.

Friendly, professional service that have got me several long term positions in good schools in the Bristol and North Somerset area. Chris and and John are very easy to get on with and always get you advanced bookings if possible. Paid through their own payment platform, so no middle man payroll company. The pension provider is NEST pensions (government), so also another bonus as you don't have another company managing this; both ideal if you are signed with several agencies. Highly recommended.

L. W.

I worked through QT as an NQT last year, and would recommend to any teachers who are interested in working supply in the south west. They're supportive and professional, and were extremely pro-active when it came to organising the covid furlough schemes last summer, keeping me informed every step of the way. They have a wide bank of schools and are keen to get you in the places and roles that suit you best. I'm now working full-time thanks to QT!

K. M.

QT definitely deserve this 5 star rating! Chris, Jon and the team are outstanding in the care and support they offer to supply teachers. At all times, everyone at QT is incredibly friendly, unreservedly approachable, impeccably professional and genuinely committed to proving the highest quality provision to both teachers and schools. Above all, QT cares about you as a person and about Education. I most definitley recommend QT Education!

A. R.

QT Education is exceptional in its field. Chris, John and Ros are not only personable and understanding but are also incredibly good at what they do and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to both schools and teachers as an outstanding supply agency.

S. D.

Those who know me say I always speak as I find. QT was recommended to me by a former colleague and I am pleased to have found a first-class supply teaching agency for somerset. A friendly, professional family-run business that has provided me with a generous, consistent supply of work ... 'general cover' - secondary schools, for my 2/3 days a week in my first year with them.

J. R.

Extremely professional, personable and ensure their staff are looked after. I cannot recommend QT enough if you are looking for supply work. Jon, Chris and their team are just first class.

J. D.

I have been registered with QT for 4 years. They are friendly and professional and very supportive. They listen to you and never put pressure on you to take work which is not right for you. In my first year they found me a long term post and were able to negotiate with the school as I didn’t want to work 5 days a week.

N. L.

I have dealt with a number of teaching agencies, some of them being very good. However, QT Education surpasses them all. They are extremely personal, get lots of work for me and are responsive to my wishes. Every school that uses them seems to value them highly, too. I have not one hesitation in recommending them unreservedly.

C. S.

I worked with QT education for a few months before starting a full time position in September. Chris was efficient, friendly and always available to answer questions. He was extremely supportive and kept me very busy with work. I highly recommend QT Education.

D. L.

I’ve worked with QT for two years and have been given regular employment by them throughout that time. I would certainly recommend QT to anyone thinking of going into supply teaching. Contact with the agency is always friendly, helpful and supportive.

T. O.

QT are a highly professional, caring and supportive agency - why work for anyone else. They have some great schools to work in, are very understanding and follow up if there are any concerns in a school. Always highly recommended.

J. M.

After a bad experience with Protocol Education, QT was much more personable, and I found them a real pleasure to deal with. I felt like they were working hard to get bookings for me personally. And they sent me regularly to the same schools so I could build relationships and familiarity. I would recommend them over any other agency in the area.

p. c.

A very professional agency. Highly regarded by schools that I have attended. They actually listen to what you say and your requirements for work, with no pressure from their end. Worked with them for 3+ years and never had any hassle with payments. Have worked for several agencies and used QT almost exclusively for the previous 2 years. Bottom Line Highly recommended

C. R.

I have always found the team at QT friendly, supportive and keen to help in any way. Since joining QT, I have enjoyed my work and would not hesitate to recommend Jon and the team immensely to any teachers who wish to do supply work.

L. D.

QT are an outstanding teaching supply provider. Chris and the team were not only highly professional but also have great knowledge of the local schools and areas. They were always available to chat to and offer fantastic rates of pay.

S. P.

A fantastic agency to work for. I have dipped in and out of supply and full-time contracts for the last 5 years. Chris always keeps me as busy as I want to be at excellent local schools. Their help to furlough me when I had just started work for them again at the start of the Covid 19 lock-down has made a significant difference to me. They always go the extra mile for all their supply teachers, you feel part of a team.

E. G.

QT education are excellent. They were so supportive, friendly and understanding. I didn't think that I would enjoy supply teaching but I actually did and they made it great! I would 100% recommend QT education to anyone that is looking at doing supply teaching in the local area.

M. E.

QT were the only agency who actually listened to what I specified what type of teaching post I was willing to accept. They didn't keep sending me details of vacancies that did not match those criteria (unlike the other agencies who basically just spam you). Then when they had such a vacancy they got in touch and it was the position I then took up. I would strongly recommend them.

G. D.

A friendly, fair, supportive and trusted agency who cares about their teachers well being and professional development. QT listens to the needs of teachers and schools and is pro-active in improving standards. I highly recommend this agency.

I met Jon in February 2019 after a few years of retirement from my teaching career. After a very thorough and professional vetting process I got the ‘go ahead’. Within a week I was back in the classroom and very shortly after commencement I was back teaching my subjects on a 3 month assignment, which was excellent. Jon negotiated a favourable rate and kept in touch throughout my assignment. It has been a mutually beneficial and an enjoyable experience.

V. A.

Really great agency. Have kept me busy with work, and always keen to listen to feedback. Clear communication and very understanding of having to balance work with 'real life'! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a supply agency.

S. C.

I have worked for QT for nearly five years now and can recommend them unreservedly. Having retired some 7 years ago I felt I had skills that were being wasted so I decided to do some supply teaching. As time has gone on I want to do fewer hours and choose days when don't want to work (I'm getting old!) but QT have always respected this so I have total flexibility. As said I cannot recommend them strongly enough.

T. K.

The cover supervisor at my last school recommended QT to me as they provided the best service to the school. I have just retired (finally) after working with QT for the past 8 years. QT are always professional and supportive. I never felt that I was working for them so much as they were working to provide me with work at the times and schools that best suited my needs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

P. H.

Excellent agency - Jon, Roz and Chris were able to get me a number of short and long term roles. Responsive with emails, calls and they really knew my strengths to find me suitable roles. Would highly recommend.

F. D.

I have worked with QT Education in different periods of my life. I can't say enough good things about them. I've happily worked with them for many years, and they're simply fantastic. They're dedicated, super professional, totally reliable, and you can easily have a friendly chat with them. They make it personal, which makes all the difference!

S. E.

I love QT Education! Chris is friendly, supportive and understanding - not sure I would choose anyone else to speak to me at that time in the morning! I highly recommend them as a supply agency, they listen and cater to your needs.

C. M.

QT combines professionalism with friendliness perfectly. They not only provide an efficient and effective service for day-to-day supply but they have also matched me with appropriate and rewarding longer term placements, for which I am very grateful. I cannot recommend QT enough.

C.

The best agency I have worked for, mainly because they actually listen to your requirements and then find you work that is suitable for you. Always ready at the end of the phone of you have queries and always have your best interests at heart. A rare find in an agency :-)

S. W.

Chris and Jon have provided me with a full year of work throughout 2018/2019. They are professional and efficient as well as being very personable and easy to approach. They have been flexible and accommodating with my availability, which has enabled me to strike a good work/life balance and continue to care for my young family. I have recommended them many times and will continue to do so.

A. F.

An agency that really do care about you, the school and education. No really! Friendly, approachable, open to flexibility and an understanding that just because you are doing supply at this moment in time, you still care about the quality of what you provide. There is no messing round with appointments and work is often sourced the day/week before so you are not waiting all the time to plan your day. You can also decline work with no fear that they will hold it against it and you will never work again. As tough as supply teaching can be at times having Chris, John and Ros to listen means many things are resolved in a timely fashion. I feel like I am part of something rather than a “ bum on seat”. If this is your route/time for supply work then this has to be the agency for you.

K. G.

A fantastic supply agency. Really genuine, caring and professional service from Chris and the team. I was supplying as an NQT this year and they were very supportive.

D. N.

Lovely friendly service, Chris, Jon and Ross very professional, they go out of their way to get work that is both , suitable, re days you want, they do check re subjects you are happy to cover. I think the most professional thing is they listen to you, your needs, hours, distance to travel..and your circumstances. Have met lots on QT...and we do chat, just met a mum who only works half days, so you can get to what really suits you. Have used QT for the last 5 years and cannot recommend them enough!

O. L.

The best teaching agency that I have ever worked for. I am a teacher and like doing supply as it fits in with my rather hectic life at the moment. QT are professional, friendly, welcoming and have fantastic communication throughout. They always utilise my skills in my subjects whenever they can, which makes my job even more enjoyable. They all make me feel a part of the team. I get lots of work throughout Somerset, so they are very reliable.

C. W.

Now in my 3rd year with QT. I feel very supported and can confidently accept work but equally work the days I want to without feeling pressurised by the agency. I definitely recommend QT.

Chris and co are brilliant. They cultivate strong relationships with schools that have your back. They're always ready to chat to you about any issues. I learned about them when a friend recommended them and I'm delighted to pass on the recommendation.

V. M.

I have worked for Jon as my sole agent for 7 years inbetween jobs and consider myself lucky to have found such a top agent. Jon's team are highly professional, friendly, accommodating and supportive and therefore he gets a lot of respect in the industry. It's a pleasure to work with him.

N. H.

I would highly recommend QT to teachers wanting to do supply teaching. They make a real effort to consider your needs and circumstances when finding you work. Great agency!

P. W.

I have really appreciated Chris' help at QT Education and he has been incredibly supportive and personable. He is efficient, has supplied me with work exactly as I have asked and he is a great bloke!

K. P.

Having worked in education for over 25 years, I have been constantly impressed with the professionalism of QT Education but actually more than that as a supply teacher - their relationships with the schools they work with is outstanding and as a result those working for them are treated with respect.

R. D.

QT with Chris, Jon and Ros, simply the best supply agency ever - supportive, caring, professional, reliable the list of adjectives could go on and on. Quintessentially Topnotch!

S. R.

New to supply work in January, the whole process of signing up and then getting daily work could not have been easier really (although the Sainsburys cafe as an interview venue did make me wonder how things might be run, just for a minute!). Until the lockdown, of course, I worked regularly and in local schools, just as I had hoped. Many thanks Jon, and fingers crossed for September!!

K. H.

I have been working with QT for a number of years. they are always helpful, kind and supportive, I highly recommend them as agents

H. H.

Wonderful communication. Very helpful team who make you feel highly valued. I have been placed in some great schools through QT. Would thoroughly recommend.

D. L.

I have worked with QT from November 2020 til now and found them to be highly professional and supportive. Chris has been incredibly personable and responsive throughout what has been a challenging time for everyone. It's a rare treat to experience such a reliability in the face of such flux and I appreciate Chris, Ros and Jon's hard work immensely. Thank you.
