Testimonials.

I've only been with Hoop for a few months but after the training session, I haven't been out of work. They know I prefer long term placements and they've always managed to find the best schools for me. As a Welsh speaker, Hoop have been able to find me plenty of work in Welsh language schools or as cover in Welsh lessons in English medium schools. If I've ever had a problem, Hoop really do bend over backwards to listen to my problems and almost immediately are able to solve whatever it is. If you're wondering about which agency to go with, I would say that joining Hoop is, absolutely, the best thing you could do for your career. Give them a chance, you certainly won't regret it

Since joining Hoop I have had regular work whenever I want it and have been the happiest I have ever been with any teaching agency I have worked with, which is why I have chosen to use Hoop solely for my supply work. They are not only helpful and incredibly knowledgeable at what they are do, but they are kind and considerate. I really feel like I am part of one big family at Hoop, I am looked after and my needs are always put first. They will ring to check in, bookings are always confirmed, pay is consistently on time and any problems are swiftly dealt with. Joining Hoop was one of the most important choices of my teaching career so far. It has helped me hugely with my confidence, given me the ability to have a better work/life balance and reinforced how much I adore teaching.

From the moment I enquired about a Teaching Assistant role with Hoop, the service was outstanding! They gave me all the information I needed and made joining so quick and easy. They are so lovely and helpful in finding me plenty of work and ensuring I am actually enjoying the work too. I’m a university student, so being with Hoop means I can work around university and my workload which is brilliant. I have been in the same school now for around 7 months, yet my consultant still checks in with me often to ensure I’m still happy and enjoying what I’m doing which is lovely and reassuring. A friend of mine recommended Hoop to me and now I would recommend Hoop to anyone! I only have good things to say about them.

My experience of registering with Hoop Recruitment has been nothing short of EXCEPTIONAL and after my DBS came back and the thorough Safeguarding training was completed, I was immediately placed into a school. Zoya, who is my consultant at Hoop, guided me at every step of the process. She went above and beyond to ensure I understood everything and updated me throughout. I would highly recommend Hoop Recruitment and if you are privileged enough to have Zoya as your consultant you will not be disappointed. She is a master of her craft and a real trailblazer in the sector.

Hoop education is a great agency for getting yourself into the educational field. On completing my registration and assigning me work Bethan has been nothing short of fantastic. She is so friendly and approachable and it's like having a friend at the end of the phone, particularly great when starting any new job or school. Her professional manner and her prompt updates on placements allow me to always feel at ease. I would recommend Hoop and of course Bethan to anyone looking to join agency work within a school setting

I joined Hoop as a supply teacher last year and had a great experience with finding work and had great support and understanding from Will surrounding availability and training. I would highly recommend Hoop as a supply agency as they provided me with the most work out of the 3 agencies I had joined and also had a more personal experience through talking with Will and the team.
