Below are some testimonials from our candidates:

Ruth, Primary Teacher, Birmingham - "Aspire People is always friendly and polite and my consultant Mark Birmingham always sounds appreciative when I say I can do a placement, and he has offered me a good few days' work.  I am registered with 3 agencies and I am happiest with Aspire, who find much more work and pay better."

Hadeeb, Secondary Teacher, Birmingham "Work is fantastic at the moment - really enjoying my assignment. My consultant Cherie-Anne Baxter is very helpful and friendly. I have no criticisms whatsoever. Aspire is simply the best - no other agency can match their league of efficiency. "

Chris, Secondary Teacher, Birmingham - "Aspire People and my consultant is friendly and efficient. If I was to compare the agency to a famous person it would probably be Hilary Devey from Dragon's Den: experienced, broad-shouldered and keen to succeed." 

Patrick, Secondary Teacher, Dudley - "Aspire People is really good and my consultant Sam Green seems to care about me as a person rather than a just a supply to fill in gaps that make Aspire money. " 

Vincent , Secondary Teacher, Birmingham - "Having started as a cover supervisor, Aspire People actively encouraged me to qualify as a teacher and advised me which course to choose.  After gaining my PGCE, I had no hesitation in working with them again as I knew there would be regular work and I would be treated professionally. Over the last three years I have been made to feel part of the team and have always felt supported through any difficult times I have had whilst working in education. "

Valarie, Head Teacher's PA, Birmingham - "I registered with Aspire People on 27th September and within 7 working days my vetting checks had been completed and I was placed in to a school. The application process was informative yet friendly and relaxed. Other agencies I registered with were not as friendly and made me feel nervous and unwelcome. I get on really well with my consultant, Kelly. Overall Aspire People is friendly, helpful and professional."

Sam , Cover Supervisor, Leicester - “When I first applied for Aspire People as a Cover Supervisor, I had very little experience of working in schools. My consultant made sure I was fully aware of how to safeguard both myself and the pupils. I was even asked to complete a scenario based questionnaire this not only helped to highlight gaps in my knowledge but taught me precisely how to deal with a range of classroom issues.”

Jo, School Business Manager, Sutton Coldfield - "Even though I came from an industry background my consultant genuinely valued the experience I could bring to a school.  She really went that extra mile to find me work by organising training on school IT systems. On top of that she secured me voluntary work to support my Diploma in School Business Management Studies."

Helen, Secondary Teacher, Coventry - "The Payroll department at Aspire People is really efficient. I’m always paid on time, any queries I do have are dealt with efficiently and quickly. The staff are friendly and respond to emails or texts without delay.  From my point of view Aspire People is an excellent agency to work for."

Lucy, Basic Skills Teacher, Kings Heath - "My consultant has found me work every day which has led to some wonderful long term assignments.  When I am sent to an assignment I feel as if I am visiting the school as an ambassador for Aspire People and I am proud to work for what I feel is by far the best teaching agency in the West Midlands."

Shahida, Primary Teacher, Birmingham - 

"I worked with Aspire a few months,  I found it difficult securing a full time position and supply was recommended to me.  Like everyone who goes in for supply I was very wary and nervous at the start, but my first day of work was great!  

Martyne, Primary Teacher, Coventry - "In addition to providing a high level of professionalism, Aspire People offer a friendly, pleasant and efficient environment for supply teachers, office and technical support staff. They provide work on a regular basis and strive to place employees in recurring positions where possible. My consultant has always listened to my needs and fine tuned the assignments I do."

Christa, PE Teacher, Warwickshire - "After graduating from university with sports science I started working for Aspire as a girls PE supply teacher I found them very helpful and they always managed to get me regular work. The work I got from them helped me to gain enough experience to get on a PGCE course. I rejoined Aspire as a supply teacher after my PGCE as an NQT and am still with them now. They are very friendly and reliable."

Debbie, Business Manager, Birmingham - "I was very impressed with Aspire People and particularly with Kelly Steadman who really played an active role in finding me temp work and keeping in touch, very much appreciated, you were the best out of the agencies I've had contact with. All the best,  hope our paths will cross again soon."

Ann, Secondary Teacher, Coventry -  "My consultant is John Bergin and I like his cheerful voice and his patience.  I know that John does work very hard to find work for me, not an easy task at the moment. Aspire People is like an athlete that just keeps going despite the obstacles."

Ashley, Cover Supervisor, Staffordshire - "My consultant at Aspire People is very polite and nice to talk to. Aspire People has a great reputation and is down to earth."
