David, Primary Teacher (based in West Suffolk): “My experience with Opus Teach has been a consistently positive one. They absolutely care about making sure the teacher AND the school role are right for each other. In our profession, it is often too easy for a recruitment company to just see teachers and their roles as one size fits all. Opus instead, seeks to match you to the role you are suited to. This means I can deliver to the very best of my ability and provide an educational environment the school and the pupils deserve. As teachers, we know how important communication is, both educationally and professionally. Opus works hard to keep in touch with their teachers so they can best provide the support we need when in and searching for a position. It continues to be a great experience being an Opus teacher and one I would recommend to anyone in the same situation.” Robert, Primary Teacher (based in East Suffolk): I had a fantastic experience with Opus Teach. They are a professional company who listens to what you want. The communication was excellent, and they found me plenty of work, taking into account my skills and preferences. I have a permanent position now, but if I went back to doing supply teaching in the future, I will work with them again. I would highly recommend them, and I cannot thank them enough for helping me. Victoria, Teacher (based in Ipswich): I have had exceptional and prompt service from the minute I joined. The team are great with helping you with any queries which means you totally feel you can trust them. I was placed within a day of being compliant and had regular placements throughout. The online system is also excellent. I would recommend to any teacher seeking supply. Thank you so much for all you have done
