I chose Academic Choice when finishing my university training as a way to continue to build my confidence after qualifying. I had already been offered a role for September prior to joining the agency, but wanted the opportunity to do what I loved and be paid for it, as well as experiencing all the year groups across the primary phases. As I trained as a later-years student, I had not had the chance to spend time in the EYFS. I discussed this with Claire and she was so open to giving me opportunities in all age-groups, despite my lack of experience with younger children. From the minute I called Claire to discuss joining the agency, I was greeted with nothing but positivity, expertise and a sense that they really wanted to get to know every individual teacher in their agency. The onboarding process was speedy, and I was able to start work almost immediately. Throughout my time as a supply teacher with Academic Choice, I have had the chance to teach all the way from Nursery classes to Year 6, which has broadened my perspectives, as prior to Academic Choice, I had boxed myself solely as a KS2 teacher. The team listen closely to your preferences and availability, as well as offering you placements in schools outside of your comfort zone (eg, teaching a nursery class for me!), which build your confidence in your teaching abilities and allow you to build professional relationships across phases, schools and trusts. I am beyond grateful for the time I have spent with Academic Choice. Their communication, welcoming nature and flexibility made them an absolute dream to work with and, whilst I am leaving to start my permanent position early, I will truly miss the excitement of visiting different schools and building my professional skills. I would highly recommend Academic Choice to anyone.

I really like working with Academic Choice and they have been really supportive of me with finding work and my journey with this. They have also been really helpful and attentive to all my training needs and also any questions I have had regarding finances etc. which has been incredibly helpful. I would recommend working with them for sure!

Academic Choice are such a friendly agency from the very first moment you meet them. There lots of opportunities of work to meet a range of needs part-time, full-time, Teacher, Teaching Assistant fixed term and flexi term. I was lucking enough to be in the same school for a full year and now have been given a job to work there, which is what Academic Choice hopes for. Thank you for all your support, I much appreciate it.
