We’re extremely proud to be the number one agency for our teachers, teaching assistants and cover supervisors. From helping ECT’s get started, to helping Secondary teachers transition to Primary, to bringing about a renewed love for the job; check out the experiences and reviews from our wonderful teachers:
Jo
School Business Manager
“I just wanted to write and tell you how grateful we are for our two long-term supply cover posts. Both have come into school and taken over seamlessly. Even though they have only been here a few days, they already feel part of our TEAM and are doing an excellent job.
At a time when long-term sickness can have a huge effect on the children’s learning, it is so good to know that we have your excellent professional judgement in providing us with great cover.
Thank you”
Fiona
Secondary Teacher
“Many thanks to you and all the staff for getting me some lovely placements and always being so flexible and friendly.”
Lucy
Primary Teacher
“Hi Three R’s! I just wanted to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with you. I know I won’t be joining you again in September, but if ever I am in the position to do so, I would love to work with you again and I have recommended you to some teacher friends. Thanks again.”
Caroline
Primary Teacher
“I just wanted to say a big thank you to all the 3rs staff, especially Leah for making my first year as a supply teacher so enjoyable. Have a lovely break and look forward to working together again.”
Jane
Secondary Science Teacher
“I would like to thank you for making my first year as a supply teacher so exciting and rewarding too. I have really valued your calm and supportive presence, and also the efficiency of your systems.”
Nadia
Primary Teacher
“I would like to thank you for all your hard work throughout this year, thank you for giving me work and above all for the contract at St Andrews, I’m sure I will be very happy in that school so a big thank you to all of you. You are a great company to work with, keep it up. I wish you all have a great summer holiday. I look forward to hearing from you in September.”
Grace
PE Teacher
“Morning guys!
Just a quick email to say a big Thank-you!!
It has been an absolute pleasure to work for Three R’s this year and has actually proved extremely valuable to my development as a teacher.
I will certainly be recommending Three R’s to any teacher friends who may feel this is the right time for them to go into supply work; I can’t fault the company and you lovely ladies keeping everything in order (plus the amount of suitable work available).”
Marie
Primary Teacher
“I just wanted to send a little email to say thank you for all your help in finding work this year and for just being awesome!”
Tanya
Primary Teacher
“Just to say I have very much enjoyed working for 3Rs for the past two and a half years. As my employer you have valued me as a teacher. You’re a highly Efficient team in all respects from payment to keeping me up to date with current legislation in education. You’re Easy going but also Encouraging. On the odd occasion when I decided not to accept work you were totally O.K about it. Nonetheless you offered me several opportunities to teach in the foundation stage and key stage one and this has definitely enriched my experience as a primary school teacher.
So if you ever fancy a name change, perhaps 3Es isn’t such a bad option!
Many thanks”
Jemma
Primary Teacher
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help over the past few months. I have really enjoyed my ‘taster’ of supply work! Just to let you know that I won’t be needing any more work this term and then I’m off on my adventures in the new year!!
Im not sure how long I will be away for (anywhere from 6 months to a year) but I’d love to keep my name in your system and perhaps do some more supply work with you when I am back. Have a lovely Christmas and thanks again!”
Secondary Drama Specialist
“I split my time between two counties and use two different agencies depending on where I’m staying. Each time I have to deal with the Hampshire branch of the national agency I use I wish I was back in Thanet with 3Rs. Never have 3Rs repeatedly called on days I’ve said I’m unavailable. Or let another consultant try to book me after I’ve rung in sick during a booking. They don’t twist my arm to return to schools I don’t enjoy. They don’t pressurise me to continue placements where school support is lacking. And best of all they don’t email and phone offering jobs I’m not suitable for – if I wanted to teach Spanish to primary school kids I would have mentioned that!
Nicki and her team actually listen to my preferences and have always provided me with as much (or little) work as I want, at schools I enjoy teaching at. I much prefer a friendly text or quick call checking my availability to the online diary that a certain agency’s consultants don’t even seem to check. If you’re looking to be treated like a valued professional who understands how they can best contribute through supply teaching then speak to Three R’s Teacher Recruitment.”
Primary Teacher Maidstone
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and all the Three R’s Team for all your help and support in this, my first term of supply teaching.
I have to say that I am so very glad that I have tried supply teaching, I have enjoyed it so so much and it has been you and Three R’s that has been willing to give me this chance, without that I probably wouldn’t have had the courage to go for it.
Please pass my thanks on to the rest of the team as everyone has been so helpful and kind, I couldn’t have wished for a nicer agency!
I wish you all a happy summer holiday and look forward to working with you again in September.”
Marie
Primary Teacher
“I have worked with a few agencies and 3Rs outrank then all. They listen to your needs and expectations and never question them. They have a lovely relationship with schools which of course affects the relationship with the supply teachers. I always felt valued and supported. The well being of their supply teachers is paramount. All the staff were like friends! Through lockdown, I received weekly well-being calls. I’ll miss them!”
David
Primary Teacher
“I have really gained a lot of sought after experience with 3Rs. It has been a really good adventure for me to work in a variety of different schools within Kent! I really enjoyed a range of teaching experiences and the different types of Primary School. You all made it possible and I am so thankful to everyone at Three Rs. All the best!”
Rob
Primary Teacher
‘’From the moment I made contact to the time I secured a permanent Class Teacher role I could not have been happier with the experience I had with Three R’s. Nicki, Hannah and the whole team made me feel immediately welcome, all the admin and set up systems are efficient and helpful, they took a personal interest in my career goals and worked hard to find me much more supply work than I expected. I had been recommended a selection of education recruitment agencies but Three R’s stood out as head and shoulders above others for their professionalism and the care taken. I recommended Three R’s to anyone looking to further their career with agency who really cares”
John
Secondary Teacher
“The Three R’s are a very friendly and personable teaching agency. They communicate really well and are regularly on the phone checking availability or offering work. I’ve been sent to a variety of schools and feel that I’m trusted professionally to go wherever they send me. There is no pressure applied to accept work as my personal circumstances are always taken into account in my conversations with them. The staff are understanding and work and co-operate with you to help you to find suitable supply work. I’d happily recommend the Three R’s to any teaching staff looking for work”
Victoria
Primary & Secondary Teacher
“I love working with 3Rs. After struggling with workload and job satisfaction as a secondary school teacher, I now have a renewed enthusiasm for teaching. I work in both primary and secondary schools and I really enjoy the variety of jobs that I’m given. The girls are very friendly and they keep in touch via phone, text or email. 3Rs always try to give me plenty of notice for jobs and they give me the flexibility I need when I have other commitments. They never mind if I let them know I am unavailable and they are so helpful if, on the odd occasion, I’ve had a tricky day. With newsletters, Christmas & birthday cards, I really feel I am working with a company that care “
