I cannot recommended TARA highly enough. From my very first meeting with Laura it was obvious that TARA were different to other agencies, she listened to my requirements and was subsequently able to find me work very quickly. Thanks to this wonderful agency I’ve now secured a position for the rest of the academic year. I wouldn’t hesitate in using TARA again in the future

Stephanie Primary Teacher & TA

Coming across Tara almost by chance, I have never looked back after the first contact. Initial contact and conversations were thorough and very professional, and so it remained throughout. Great care was taken to understand my situation, needs and plans from the outset. Very quickly, I was being presented with leads for possible permanent positions by Marlon, who was excellent throughout, while the supply teaching team found me work almost without fail; far more so than a bigger, national agency with whom I was also registered. Tara outperformed the competition in each department and I would wholeheartedly recommend their services.

Tim Teacher of History

Leaving the security of a full time teaching position and signing up with a supply agency can be frightening. You worry about financial stability, you worry about working in challenging schools, you worry about adapting to different systems and so many other things. I have been a teacher for fifteen years in a core subject and after working for Tara for the past four months in a daily supply capacity I find myself in a position where I am now reluctant to go back!

I am no longer awake at night writing lists of all the things I need to do, I no longer have anxiety over meeting looming deadlines for coursework, data and reports that are all due by the end of the week. I find myself smiling in the classroom and joking with the students. I find myself enjoying my job again.

I can still help students progress as I am teaching my subject specialism, I can still contribute to the department because I have a plethora of resources on my hard drive that I can use - to save the head of department running around photocopying at the tenth hour.

The best part of working for an agency like Tara is they use a core group of schools and if you are a good teacher, you become indispensable. You go to the same schools and know their systems and their students and also other staff; you become part of a team but because you are no longer flying a million miles an hour you can take time to enjoy all that teaching and learning entails.

Jo Shropshire Secondary Supply Teacher

I have worked with Tara Education for the last 7 years and have been impressed with their professionalism and dedication to supply the right candidate for our school. Rachel James has taken the time to build a strong working relationship, she is trustworthy, reliable and always on hand to help so the best quality supply is achieved. I would highly recommend Rachel!
