anzuk Education London Reviews Summary

Agency Support and Communication

Pros:

• "They have made my move over to London a very easy one and I highly recommend them to anyone thinking of teaching in the UK."
• "I felt supported from the first information session I went to and it has continued along the way."
• "They are extremely professional but also friendly, they have amazing job offers and are also very supportive with any issue that you may encounter."
• "The staff in the office are super friendly, love to have regular contact to check how you're getting on and are always there to offer advice, support and even just a chat if you've had a bad day."
• "The staff are always on hand to speak to and are some of the friendliest people I've had the pleasure to work with."
• "They were all excellent in communication, assisted quickly and efficiently whenever I need help or came across a problem."
• "The staff are so welcoming and also happy to help and they are always supplying work for us to keep us busy."

Cons:

• "This agency has to be one of the worst agencies I’ve worked for."
• "They have let me down at the last minute and ignored my emails on various occasions (namely James from Sydney). If you're looking for teaching work in Sydney do not trust this organisation and look elsewhere."
• "I explained carefully to staff at this company that I had not worked for some time... They then said I did not meet their stringent standards without providing me with any reason."
• "They wasted two hours of my time at an interview and required three recent work references which of course I could not give."
• "I have been completely let down by ANZUK. When I applied at the start of March 2022 I was assured there was plenty of work as a Teaching Assistant in Sydney and so in good faith I booked my flights."
• "With less than one week before I leave, I have been told that there is in fact no work available (and never had been) after the recruiters glossed over the truth for months."
• "Extremely bias to people that don’t fit the preferred standard (If you get what I mean) definitely would not recommend this agency to anyone."

Professional Development and Opportunities

Pros:

• "I have been fortunate enough to be placed in some beautiful schools and recently acquired a long term role through the agency."
• "There are amply opportunities for growth too as a teacher through the many PD's they run along with social gatherings which really helps you build that network of support."
• "The agency is also really good at taking your feedback about the schools into account (it's strongly encouraged) which means that if you love a school, they will strive to get you back there if needed."
• "They always deliver what they promise!"
• "They offer lots of opportunities for personal development with regular webinars and training."
• "They guarantee work everyday and have sent me to some great schools close to home."
• "Having the opportunity to work in a variety of schools throughout London."

Cons:

• "The pay is rubbish and the consultants completely disregard your concerns and if there is an Incident they will take the schools side and completely disregard your side of the story."
• "The process was slow at first (most likely due to applying in half term times)."
• "As supply work is of course based on supply and demand daily jobs can't be guaranteed however I think I've only had one day when I wasn't needed."

Personal Experience and Satisfaction

Pros:

• "I’ve worked with ANZUK for 2 years now and I absolutely love it."
• "I cannot recommend ANZUK highly enough."
• "I have been working with ANZUK for almost 3 years now. They are a top agency to work with and my experiences with them have always been positive!"
• "I'd recommend working for this company to anyone interested in getting involved in the education industry."
• "I have been getting full time work, great pay, had a white xmas, travelled all over europe and met some amazing life long friends."
• "I’ve been with Anzuk about 6 month now and everyone has been extremely lovely to work with."
• "Really happy I found this agency :)"

Cons:

• "Really wonderful agency. I was a little hesitant at first because I have had bad experiences with exploitative school based agencies in the past but I need not worry while with this company."
• "This company needs to do a much better job of scrutinising cv's and talking to candidates on the phone before they get them in."
