Apollo Teaching Services

I joined Apollo just before the Summer holidays last year. I had qualified as a teacher in July 2007. They secured me a long term history teaching position for September which included A Level. When this finished at the end of January I did some general supply until I began a long term maternity cover for the Summer term, again teaching history. Having managed to complete two terms of my NQT induction this year through Apollo I was able to secure a permanent teaching position for September in an excellent Academy. Thanks again!

I joined Apollo Teaching after weeks of no work with another agency. I found the gentlemen in the office to be friendly and they gave me a frank and thorough explanation of what to expect whilst on supply. I have now been working in the Cardiff area for the company for 9 months and I have rarely had more than one day off in a month (I ask for 5 days a week) Would highly reccommend Apollo, as I already have done to several of my friends/collegues.

Sorry to say that I cannot recommend this agency. When I contacted them they promised to guarantee me 5 days work, after an hour spent filling in forms and 3 weeks of waiting I was told that they actually had no work available. As they had promised me work I had refused a long term placement with my previous agency and now find myself with no work. As the above person mentioned they are very disorganised and often blame each other for their mistakes, clearly a lack of communication in this company!

amazing company, this is the only company that has done what its promised. Its very hard to register here with them needing far more information than I think is necessary! Apart from this they are friendly and professional and after recently attending a child protection course i'd say they are very thorough.

This is an employment agency that supplies teachers and other staff to schools and further education colleges. They mainly cover schools in the Bridgend County Borough and the Vale of Glamorgan Borough areas, but occasionally they may have other vacancies. My impression of them is that they are somewhat disorganised and that although they have procedures, they don’t always follow them. They are based on an enterprise park outside Bridgend. This makes them difficult to visit unless you have a car and so most communication with them has to be done by phone or email. They are in a competitive field and stretch the truth a little in order to get candidates to sign up with them. i.e. jobs described pre-registration do not always materialise post registration
