Thomas Page

“Having just finished my teaching degree. BrightMinds were helpful in finding me work within days of registering and offered placements that were suitable for my goals. My consultant Mike dealt with the registration process quickly and efficiently and before I knew it, I was ready and prepped for my first role. All the roles that I have been offered to me have helped me grow into the teacher I’ve always wanted to be.”

David - School Business Manager

“I have known Laura for several years since I decided to take up supply teaching. She has been an excellent consultant and has always had my best interests at heart. She is professional and approachable at the same time; she values her teaching staff and always negotiates the best rates of pay possible for me. She is personable and I can speak to her about any concerns or issues I may be having and addresses them straight away. She always matches me with schools that are best suited to my teaching style and personality. She will always try to place me at the best schools in Birmingham and around the West Midlands area. If a school is challenging, she will always let me know so I can make an informed choice if I want to take on the role or not. She has impeccable time management skills and will give me plenty of time to get to the school or to decide if I want to take on the assignment. She has a brilliant personality and is an excellent consultant; she really understands what is involved with being a supply teacher and all the aspects of going into a school for the first time and what is expected from me and of the school. I would highly recommend BrightMinds to any supply teachers .”
