What Our People Say
About SOS
I found SOS to be organised and confident when placing me. When arriving at school, I knew exactly what grade I was to be teaching. The staff seemed happy no matter what time I was contacted.
The SOS team are extremely organised, friendly and flexible where they make every effort to ensure that there is regular work for me in a range of good local schools. The staff keep you informed and up to date.
From the very beginning, SOS Teaching Agency demonstrated a commitment to excellence and a genuine concern for the well-being of both educators and students.
SOS Teacher Agency has allowed me flexibility in choosing my Teaching hours each Term for over 15 years. I am continually impressed with their professional approach in school placements.
I would certainly recommend SOS to graduates that I meet. There is a supportive community aspect to their method of operations that can make a big difference for teachers that are just starting out.
The fact that SOS Teacher Agency call you regarding jobs which is a nice personal touch rather than an app or text which although technology is wonderful, it’s not warm and friendly like a phones from an SOS staff member.
