“I’ve been working with CER since February 2023. I moved from another agency because I wasn’t enjoying it anymore. I do cover work here and there at the schools and whenever they need me. CER has offered me loads of days and have so many days available, so it’s been great.”
-Gabby, ECT with CER Newcastle
“I couldn’t recommend CER highly enough. From the first phone call I was treated like a person and the recruitment team were aware and understanding of my background and current position. I have been provided constant opportunities in over 20 schools across Merseyside meeting fantastic people, feeling welcome wherever I have been.”
– Josh, ECT with CER Liverpool
“I would recommend others to join CER because they are a very established agency. They have a lot of teaching roles available and they listen to any issues that you may have. You never skip a day of work, which is amazing and they have always been very professional.”
