Extremely poor communication
It was a waste of time registering with this agency. Elise appeared very friendly and helpful but on the whole the communication with the agency was so unprofessional in terms of never having an email or call returned (I made several calls and emails). I even expressed my concern and offered feedback it's the worst agency I have dealt with in Liverpool.

My experience with TeacherActive was…
My experience with TeacherActive was very disappointing.
I did not feel treated fairly as a candidate, and despite repeatedly asking for feedback, I received little to no meaningful response. Communication was inconsistent and at times unprofessional.
I also found it concerning that the same roles were repeatedly advertised, which raised questions about the transparency of the recruitment process.
Due to these concerns, I submitted a formal complaint to the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate.
Overall, I felt undervalued and not properly supported throughout the process. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this agency.

Hi Adam
Thank you for your review.
You have received feedback from each of the three applications you made to our internal team in 2025 and were rejected professionally each time.
Our recruitment processes are audited by the REC year on year, and have continuously reached the gold standard rating. We recruit for several roles across our branches at the same time, sometimes with multiple of the same role available in a branch. So while some job adverts may have a similar description, they are individual roles and the location can vary. The complaint in question to the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate did not find anything for us to action.
As mentioned previously, we do not tolerate foul or abusive language towards members of our team and therefore, along with our original feedback, we could not progress with your application.
We wish you all the best in your job search, and if you have any further questions please email them to feedback@teacheractive.com where a member of the senior leadership team will be in touch.
Kind regards

Only two days work with them sending back my availability seemed more of a tick box situation. Told them I am available numerous times since I got back off sick numerous times but not got back to me

Helpful, friendly and efficient
I found everyone at Teacher Active in Exeter to be warm, friendly and efficient. Jasmine found me a great job and then another one which has led to me getting a permanent job. I really like the way Jasmine kept in touch using WhatsApp, as it's so immediate and handy, and all the goodwill and encouragement to try cover supervisor work in the first place. Thank you Teacher Active!

AVOID
Misleading and ignorant people who lack manners, honesty and integrity. My friends and I graduated in June of this year and decided to give it a try by signing up with this agency. The recruiters were not bothered responding or clearing us for work. I refuse to believe they have an army of teachers at their disposal, considering that there are plenty of agencies in the city.

Do not work for TeacherActive
I registered with TeacherActive to work as a Behaviour Mentor and provided all the required documentation—a lengthy and detailed process. My references were contacted before I was even offered any work, and I also paid for an enhanced DBS check.
I had a successful interview and was then asked for additional information. I provided this information and was from then on completely ignored.
This level of disregard is highly unprofessional. It is unacceptable to share so much sensitive and personal information with an agency under the impression that there are work opportunities—only to be completely ignored.
Based on my experience, I would not recommend TeacherActive to prospective staff or to schools looking for a reliable and communicative agency.
Since then, I have registered with another agency, which has been highly professional, and I have been working successfully through them.

Avoid TeacherActive – Misleading Process and Questionable Practices
I’m writing this review to caution other potential candidates. I recently attended a hiring event hosted by TeacherActive, along with a group of other job seekers.
We participated in group activities, after which the company selected a few individuals to proceed to the interview stage. I was among those selected and completed three interviews one on the day of the event and two more during the week.
After going through the entire process, I was ultimately rejected, with a vague and unconvincing reason given. During the process, one of the hiring managers even mentioned that multiple candidates had left the company in December, which raised some concerns about staff turnover.
What’s most troubling is that the same vacancy I applied for has been reposted several times since my rejection. This suggests the listing may be a “ghost job,” which is not only misleading but also highly inconsiderate to job seekers who invest time and energy into the process.
Another concern is data privacy. With the number of candidates they process, it’s unclear how TeacherActive handles personal information and whether they are truly GDPR compliant.
In summary, I would advise job seekers to be cautious and consider applying elsewhere. There are plenty of more transparent and respectful companies out there.

Hi Jordan
We appreciate all forms of feedback, so thank you for taking the time to write this review.
I'm sorry that you feel you were given vague feedback at the hiring event. We always aim to be honest and transparent with our decision-making process. We held several interviews during this hiring day and, at times, we won't recruit anyone for a role if we haven't found the right person, given our rigorous process and high standards. We can appreciate that this may be frustrating for previous applicants when we re-post an advert, however, this does not mean we are posting 'ghost' job adverts.
We are fully compliant with GDPR legislation. You can find our privacy notice on our website https://www.teacheractive.com/app/data/tmp/images/Privacy%20Notice.pdf
To fully understand your experience and investigate this further, we would require further information from you. Please get in touch at feedback@teacheractive.com with any comments or questions, and a member of the senior leadership team will be in touch.

Full of false promises
This outfit promises you lots. They even promise that after 10 assignments (cant remember exactly as been so long ago) with them your DBS fee is refunded. Well sadly thats all they are. Full of promises with little to show the other end. 2 years and only one measly job. Waste of time.

Unprofessional, Not to be trusted; they caused me to suffer a financial loss.
I do not trust this agency (Preston) due to my negative experience resulting in a significant financial loss. Despite my efforts to provide my personal information to three staff members multiple times via phone and email, my file was never cleared in time for the interview/trial. My file should have been prioritised to be ready for the interview/trial. This oversight caused me to lose a week’s pay, as the interview date was rescheduled several times. I turned down other agencies to be available. Consequently, I requested that my data be removed because I no longer trust their assurances.

Don't waste your time
Wasted my time doing an online onboarding session, only to be told I would then need to come into the office just so they could scan my passport!!
Also falsely advertise jobs. The job I enquired about and was then given the school didn't even have a post available (I checked with another agency and then my friend who knows someone who works there). Sadly it seems this is many agencies way of getting you to register with them.
Do yourself a favour and don't waste your time with these guys, plenty of other more transparent agencies out there.

Hi Chris
We appreciate all forms of feedback so thank you for taking the time to write this review. We’re sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the onboarding process, having evidence of physical proof of identity is standard practice during our onboarding and compliance process. This is to confirm that we have verified that the document is a true document as well as a true likeness to the individual. This process is set out both by the government and Keeping Children Safe in Education.
We work closely with all of our schools and through our direct line of communication can receive specific roles to hire for. Due to this, others may not be aware of the role available as it is not advertised elsewhere.
If you have any further comments or questions, a member of our senior team would be happy to discuss these with you, please email feedback@teacheractive.com and we would be happy to assist.
Kind regards
