What our candidates say…

“I’ve worked for CER and find them professional, very responsive and have excellent rates of pay. I have really admired my consultant for his professionalism and prompt response to queries. I have felt very supported during a very difficult time and enjoy working for them. I’ve continued my CPD through training offered by them and have no problems asking for advice. He had an excellent working relationship with all the schools I have been placed in and they have commented on how approachable he is on the phone. I would highly recommend CER to anyone looking into getting back into work or starting their career in schools.”

– Lucy, Tyne and Wear

“I feel very pleased to be a supply teacher with CER. My consultant, Matty, deserves a special mention. He is the most reliable consultant I have ever worked with. I have been a supply teacher registered with three different supply agencies for seven years. Matty is such an outstanding consultant, I committed fully to working with CER. I really like how Matty gets me work in advance of the days I am available. I do not have to sit and wait for a phone call on a morning.”

– Louise, Tyne and Wear

“I joined CER in July 2020 after a 25 year career in teaching and have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the agency. I was advised by colleagues to register with several agencies to secure more work, however, I have been inundated with placements by the agency varying from single days to half terms. The staff are very friendly to work with and there is no pressure applied to take up a placement. I registered with the Newcastle branch and received excellent support from Matty, my placement consultant.”

– Brian, Tyne and Wear

“This is my second full year working with CER Education and they have been excellent. There is always daily work available to me as a qualified teacher, in a range of schools. I work specifically with Adam Turnbull and he has been brilliant with me. He always ensures that I have work each day and always checks in to make sure that everything has ran smoothly. For any qualified teachers or even students looking to progress into teaching, I would fully recommend getting in touch with CER Education. They are absolutely brilliant, and I cannot speak highly enough of them.”

– Connor, Tyne and Wear

“I have been working for CER for a number of years. I have worked with Katie, Natalie and Matty mainly and it has been great working with them. The team at CER are always very friendly and helpful. In the early hours of the morning when they are finding work for you, they maintain a calm, polite and reassuring approach. Generally, work has been constant, and I enjoy the placements. If they are any challenges, they are talked through and resolved. Thank you, CER.”

– Paul, Tyne and Wear

“Great supply agency to work for. Loads of work, good communication and competitive rates of pay. I’ve been with CER just over 6 months and they’ve found work for me every day and I’ve been very happy in the schools. If you’re doing supply or looking for supply work, you should contact them as I have had a great experience working with them.”

– Mike, Tyne and Wear

“My experience has been extremely positive, ever since I had my first meeting with Jamil. CER are an excellent and professional company. Communication is very good, and Jamil will go out of his way to make sure work is assigned properly and efficiently. They work hard for you, and I’ve never had any issues at all. Thus, I would highly recommend CER, above all of the other recruitment employees.”

– Ali, Darlington

“I have worked exclusively for CER for the past two academic years. This year James has looked after me really well. He checks in regularly and always is quick to respond to queries. In summary, I would highly recommend CER if you are thinking of supply teaching. I have always got work and am grateful for their support. Jamil and his team are very professional and caring.”

– Andrew, Darlington

“It has been a rewarding experience working at CER over the past six months. I work with Adam who is always very professional and supportive. What I appreciate in particular is their honesty and that they value the feedback I give. There is always a steady flow of teaching opportunities and a diverse range of schools.”

– Lara, Darlington

“I’ve been working with CER Darlington and Jamil on and off for a number of years now. They are professional, incredibly efficient and an all round motivated team. Since I started I’ve been offered both short term and long term placements and it’s a rarity for me to ever be out of work.”

– Dave, Darlington

“It has been a great pleasure working with James this academic year. CER are always ready to get you a placement with a good rate and always accommodates your needs. All in all, it has been a lovely experience.”

– Ivan, Darlington

“At first, I was nervous about starting as a supply teacher, but I got loads of support from Jamil at CER so far. I’ve always had work when I wanted it and flexibility when I needed it. Furthermore, the communication is excellent. In sum, I would highly recommend them.”

– Janie, Darlington
