Karla and the team are exceptionally hard working people who are invested in you and want you to succeed. I had so much support since my first contact with SENDirect and was given every bit of help and advice in order to get a placement. I can't recommend them enough!! Give them a call today and see how they can help you too.

K Jay

From the very first phone call I could tell that she was a cut above the rest. I wasn't even sure that I wanted to stay in teaching at the time but she reassured me that she would find me a school that matched my personality and my convenience in terms of distance, salary and teaching style and low and behold she stayed true to her word.

It was my first time dealing with a job agency so I was a bit apprehensive however, Karla very clearly explained every step and supported me through the registration process. She was very efficient and proactive in obtaining all required documents and setting me up on the system ready to start employment.

OMG HR genuinely understands how schools work. We’re under constant pressure to stay compliant and keep classrooms running smoothly. They didn’t just send us CVs — they found us staff who fit our culture and could hit the ground running. It’s made a real difference to our team.
