I’ve worked with Aspire people for a couple of months, and it has been amazing throughout my employment with them. My agency consultant, Scott, has been very helpful and has always tried to provide work whenever I required it. Overall my experience has been fantastic and the plus side was that it was very flexible and suited the days/hours that I needed.

I have nothing but praise for Selena Parkash from Aspire Birmingham, From the beginning the support I have had has been amazing. The communication has been great , constant contact was made by Selena supporting myself with the whole process .Selena had a good understanding of the work i have done over 35 years and gave great information regarding the vacancies.Once my DBS had arrived Selena offered me vacancies and has now secured me at a school . It was a huge decision to make resigning from my job of 35 years but after working with Selena it has gave me confidence I have made the right decision . Thankyou so much and amazing job Selena :) Michelle Hawkins

Selena Parkash has been the most incredibly hardworking, fast and efficient staff member at Aspire People. She has restored my faith in working back in Education when I thought it was time move on. I'm loving the speed and efficiency of this lady's work ethic and her dedication to ensuring the best people are provided to numerous schools for their needs of teaching staff. An asset to Aspire. Thank you Selena so much. Love working with you.

I have gained so much more confidence and experience since working with Mandy and being apart of Aspire. Mandy is a fantastic consultant! She is friendly and approachable. Mandy is always a phone call away and available any time of the day and I appreciate the fact that she will go the extra mile and nothing is too much trouble. It is a pleasure to work with Mandy and would recommend her highly to potential candidates or schools.

When I joined Aspire People I was placed in a fantastic school straight away. Communication is good and any questions you have will always be answered straight away. I've never had any problems. A fantastic agency! Thanks guys.

As someone who is in the process of moving to Supply Teaching (after years of working in permanent positions) I was nervous about what to expect. Monica has been, and continues to be kind, reliable and knowledgeable. She’s always happy to answer my emails and texts to set my mind at rest, and I look forward to working in partnership with her.

Just like to say thank you to Emily Kramer and recommend anyone looking to gain some supply work to be in touch. I have dealt with Emily during two different periods in my career and on both occasions she has tried her best to get work that suits my circumstances and listened to feedback on schools I’d worked with. Thank you!

I've been working for Aspire People for about a year now, I've gained lots of experience in both key stages as an NQT. They are an excellent agency to work for and Sophie is very helpful!

I enjoy working with Yasmin, she understands the needs of the school and has supplied us with high calibre, professional teachers for several years. Yasmin is flexible, friendly, honest, reliable and helpful, she is always there when we need her but also respectful of the busy school environment. Would recommend the great service we receive from Yasmin and Aspire.
The Oaks Primary School
-
I have used Aspire People for a number of years and I am 100% happy with the service they provide. My point of contact is Damon Hegenbarth, Damon is quick to respond to my requests and will if possible provide me with staff who have been into school before. The quality of day to day and long term supply staff is good and they are always happy to come back to the school. Damon is willing to be flexible and provide staff whether it be for a whole day or part day, if he is not able to provide someone because it has been a particularly busy day for lots of schools, he will say upfront rather than leaving me hanging. I have no hesitation in recommending them Aspire People.
Turves Green Girls School

From day one Sophie and the team have always been so helpful and accommodating for us. Whatever time of the day it is Sophie has always arranged cover for us upon request. We have never been let down by Sophie and the level of candidates that we receive have always been of a high quality. The information we require for safeguarding, is always sent through in advance with full information on. Aspire People have even helped us out with things like our Christmas parties etc, the only agency i know that can even arrange for Father Christmas to come! I believe that Sophie and Aspire really do have the interests of both their candidates and the schools they deal with at their heart. They understand what it is like within a school setting and will always help out which ever way they can. I would highly recommend Aspire People and especially Sophie, it is great to work alongside a company that we can rely on and trust!
St John's CofE Primary Academy
-
Emily's professionalism radiates at every level. Her knowledge and experience generates an outstanding, honest, working relationship and I trust Emily and her team implicitly. Emily delivers a five star customer service and the high calibre of Cover Supervisors, Teachers and TA's recruited are exemplary. Emily is always just a phone call away and I would definitely recommend Aspire People for all your future recruitment requirements.
Madeley School
-
I have worked with Aspire People for nearly 3 years, using them for day-to-day and long term cover. In addition to a high level of professionalism, Emma has always been friendly and efficient. She fully understands the schools needs and always sends us Teachers and Teaching Assistants of a very high standard, even at short notice. Safeguarding information is emailed across as soon as the booking is confirmed-another example of efficiency. Emma always aims to please and is easy to contact out of hours, I would not hesitate to recommend Aspire People to otherschools.
Beacon Primary School
-
I would like to thank Ann-Marie at Aspire People for her help and support over the past few years. Ann-Marie is very professional, courteous and understanding. This means we have always managed to get a great member of staff in front of our classes, teaching our children. Ann-Marie is always my first point of call and has never let the school down in providing quality emergency or planned long term cover. Thanks Aspire!
Barr View Primary and Nursery Academy
-
As my contact with the agency, Shaniece consistently provides an exceptional calibre of supply staff. Through frequent, effective communication, she ensures our needs are met immediately. She welcomes feedback and acts upon it. She can be contacted at all times including late at night and during holidays or weekends. I have used several other agencies and have been disappointed with the quality of staff they have provided; this has never happened with Aspire People. I would whole heartedly recommend their service and in particular Shaniece Blakemore.
Willenhall Community Primary School
-
Mandy from Aspire is our ideal consultant! She is very approachable and always on hand any time of day. Mandy certainly is not a pushy consultant who rings constantly like other agencies which really helps our busy office, we call her for our supply in the morning and she gets quality local teachers to us straight away. And to top it off she is a lovely person who we enjoy working with.
Oxley Primary School
-
Amanda from Aspire People is a pleasure to work with, she is extremely efficient and always responds rapidly to my requests. I would definitely recommend Amanda and Aspire People, I feel that they provide for me a very personalised service and I am treated as a valued customer.
