What do our teachers and education professionals say about Opus Teach?

Supply Teacher from Stowmarket, November 2024

“Opus Teach are a superb organisation who go above and beyond. I have been a supply teacher with them since September and it has been a truly fantastic experience. The team are outstanding – always professional, friendly and approachable. The onboarding was very straight forward, with safeguarding rightly at the heart of the process. There is always regular work. Opus have a great messaging system in place to book work and an online portal to adjust your availability and submit timesheets. For me, the thing that stands out is the attention to detail – nothing is ever too much trouble. I am really looking forward to working with Opus after half term. If you are looking to start supply teaching, I strongly recommend Opus. I promise you it will be an outstanding experience.”

 

Cover Teacher from Ipswich, August 2024

“Opus Teach is the best agency to work with; it feels more like being part of a sweet family. Thank you all for never giving me a reason to feel unwelcome while working as your staff. I love the fact that I can manage everything myself, from selecting and updating my availability and generally having access to a portal where I can comfortably view all the information I need. Additionally, the staff’s approach to dealing with me is not just professional but friendly as well. I highly recommend Opus Teach as the number one agency to work with.”

 

Supply Teacher from Felixstowe, September 2024

“I’ve been with Opus for 2 years (after 12 years in a permanent role) and have nothing but praise for them. They have constantly kept in touch with me and so know exactly what kind of work I have wanted/needed. I have been in schools consistently throughout my time with them, mainly pre-booked, which has fostered many solid relationships with the schools I have been in. The booking system is a godsend; it’s so easy to use and respond to and means that you can keep everyone in the loop with availability etc. I would particularly like to mention Ross, Gemma and Hannah who have always been on hand to quickly respond to any queries or concerns that I have had and have helped me to always feel supported. If anyone is thinking of doing supply, I say do it and sign up!! I have loved my time doing supply through Opus and would highly recommend them to anyone!”

 

Supply Teacher from Ipswich, July 2024

“I joined Opus in May. They went above and beyond to secure me daily positions, then were able to quickly get me long term work. I was fortunate enough to be offered additional work for a term, where Opus were able to negotiate me time off that I add for existing arrangements and a higher base pay. Everyone I have worked with has been friendly, honest and efficient. I would a billion percent recommend them to anyone hoping to find consistent work as supply. Thank you all for all of your support!”

 

Supply Teacher from Hadleigh, September 2024

“I was really impressed with Opus Teach. They were really straightforward, professional and flexible when I wasn’t sure when exactly I’d be available. They kept me on the books and I worked for them for one month between jobs. Their systems were really easy to use, and the team is really friendly and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend.”

 

Supply Teacher from Woodbridge, March 2024

“I would highly recommend working for Opus and cannot praise Gemma, Ross and the rest of the team enough. Everyone is friendly, approachable and supportive. Opus Teach will always go the extra mile. My year group preferences are always taken into consideration and I feel listened to. When you call, there is always someone available to deal with any questions you may have. Since starting to work for Opus, I have been incredibly impressed with the effective, excellent lines of communication. I regularly receive placements and the efficient systems Opus have in place are easy to understand and navigate. Everyone is incredibly helpful, approachable and accommodating. I am so glad to have found Opus as it has been such a positive experience working for them. I can accept cover placements to align with my schedule and love the flexibility. It is clear to see that Opus Teach has forged strong relationships with teachers and schools. The company has an excellent reputation and I feel proud to work for them.”

 

Supply Teacher from Sudbury, June 2024

“I have worked for Opus for a few years now and have always found the staff to be professional, helpful and friendly. I enjoy the flexibility that supply work gives me and being able to log on and update my calendar easily means that I can juggle work with family commitments easily and stress free. Payments are always prompt and on time and I would happily recommend Opus to friends.”

 

Supply Teacher from Ipswich, April 2024

“The team at Opus Teach are amazing! They are all incredibly friendly, helpful and supportive and regularly check in with their supply teachers. They always ensure that where possible, teachers have plenty of work and are accommodating to a wide range of different circumstances; whether you’re looking for short term or long term placements. The team, particularly Ross, have helped to build my confidence, and have encouraged me to take on new challenges, which I am very grateful for. Gemma and Sarah are also always on the end of the phone to help deal with any of my queries. I have been very happy working with Opus Teach this past year and I would highly recommend joining them if you are a teacher looking for flexible work.”

 

Supply Teacher from Bury St Edmunds, March 2024

“I have been delighted with Opus Teach. After recently returning to the classroom after a long hiatus, I have felt thoroughly supported with my transition back to teaching. Liam has taken on board my key stage or school preferences and ensured that I am happy with any teaching roles that I undertake. I would highly recommend!” 

 

Supply Teacher from Stowmarket, April 2024

“My experience with Opus Teach was a very positive one. Despite only doing supply for one half term whilst seeking a full time teaching post, the service were very accommodating, accessible and quick to respond. There was regular work, especially as an ECT which was reassuring and overall, I had a positive experience in all the schools I worked in. It was a great opportunity to teach in different settings and I would not hesitate to take up supply in the future with Opus Teach.”
