“​I was not sure if I wanted to become a full-time teacher straight away and therefore ESP gave me the chance to do what I love but in my own way. ESP are a lovely team and although I haven’t been there long they have given me opportunities that have allowed me to expand my CPD"

​“The interview was not stressful at all, because the staff were so welcoming and friendly. I found the registration process to be easy to complete, with all administration queries answered clearly and quickly. I can choose which days I work, which is flexible and as an Early Years teacher I prefer to teach only this particular age group. Exeter Supply Partnership have been completely open to this idea which is brilliant. I cannot recommend this agency highly enough.”

​I was recommended ESP through a few teachers that I know. After doing some research I decided to contact them. After meeting all the staff at ESP I was impressed with their professionalism and how friendly and supportive they all were.

​I looked at a number of different agencies before I decided to go with ESP. ESP seemed to stand out in so many areas. In particular their understanding of how schools and teachers work was important and what they offered suited me perfectly. My initial feelings proved correct. ESP are very professional. Their systems are clear and work well and they are all very friendly and helpful should you have any queries.
