"I applied to work at Schools Mutual Service, and within one week I was ready to start work. Sarah was very helpful throughout the onboarding process, and made it smooth and easy for me. She also sends a supportive message before my days at work which is lovely! I have had the pleasure of working in different schools, and in every school staff members have been supportive. It’s been a great experience with Schools Mutual Service, I’m grateful to work with them!"
Sian Ameer Candidate
"This opportunity has led lo me gaining a placement with Durham SCITT in September on a Primary teacher training course. Schools Mutual, and the school work in, have been extremely supportive and helpful during this process and I could not thank them enough. Overall, my time at Schools Mutual so far has been life changing. My life has changed from just finishing my degree and working in hospitality, to now being a Learning Support Assistant about to start teacher training. I would never look back."
Luke CockburnLSA on placement at St Bedes Catholic School
"Schools Mutual Services are our first point of call for all of our supply needs, due to their reliability, consistency to deliver quality staff and rapid response times. They always go above and beyond to find a suitable, quality candidate. We are able to contact them at any point and they are clear and concise regarding the rates charged. We are very happy with the service we receive from Schools Mutual."
Jonny StaffordAdmin Manager at St Leonards Catholic School
"I have found my experience with Schools Mutual to be smooth running and very friendly. From the moment I signed up, the company has been able to cater to my schedule and given me the confidence to leach in a range of fantastic catholic schools. From supply teaching to invigilating, every member of staff I have come to meet in the company have been so helpful and kind to work with. I have been with other agencies in the past but Schools Mutual offers the most work and treats their employees like no other company does."

"I have worked for schools mutual services for several months and they are fantastic agency to work for they found me work straight away. Katie Newmarch found my work she was amazing always on the phone trying to find me work I finished one school then almost straight into another. Katie and the team were always on the phone keeping me updated with work. Katie found a lovely school for me after a few weeks I got a permanent contract but if not for Katie and the team I would never had heard of that school. Schools mutual also pay top pay for the job you get assigned to witch I found very fair with all my jobs I was paid for. You also suggest how far you want to travel and they are great at keeping you in that distance I was never once asked to travel somewhere I didn't want to go absolutely fantastic agency if you looking for the best look no further than schools mutual."
Peter
"Having graduated university with an English literature degree this year I was unsure of what my next step could be. As many do, I had considered teaching, the civil service and just about everything else! I learned about schools mutual service through family and knew they had a great reputation in my area. While other roles have lengthy application processes, SMS was efficient, friendly and supportive! Once I had sent my CV, the team contacted me immediately and I felt supported from the get go! SMS has not only provided me with amazing support and reliable communication, but excellent pay, fast onboarding and priceless classroom experience. As a graduate who was unsure of their next steps, I would highly recommend SMS to anyone who is passionate about their subject, unsure of their next steps and has ever questioned if teaching is for them. With flexibility, great pay and both short and long term posts, Schools Mutual Service are the perfect step post graduation if like me, your next step was an uncertain one!"
Grace BarrassCandidate
"My time at Schools Mutual has been invaluable to my career growth and pointing me in a good direction of travel. They have been supportive, efficient and easy to communicate with, and have been receptive to feedback for different schools allowing me to pursue some great opportunities in different settings. Schools Mutual were consistent in providing me with work and took on board my travel arrangements adding ease to my commute. Through Schools Mutual I have been able to secure a permanent job as an LSA in a top rated secondary school and had full support throughout the application process. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without the opportunities provided by Schools Mutual."
