Eden Brown Employee Reviews

I believe the Sheffield branch is no longer operating but as education supply agency they were one of the better ones. Paid during the holidays for long term work and my consultant was always looking to find me employment.

Supply Teaching Assistant (Up to Year 6) / Nursery Nurse (Current Employee) - Derby - 19 January 2020

Every day is difference and interesting as you are hardly are in the same school or class each day. You are allowed to work as many days as you please for any amount of hours that suits you. You get paid weekly as a supply.

Love you when they want you

Housing Support Worker (Former Employee) - Leeds - 25 November 2019

Initially they were good but they don't look after you once they have you. When you don't have work you are chasing them they are silent. Sometimes they will move other candidates in to your contract leaving you high and dry. They blow hot and cold.

Great to work for

Teaching Assistant / HLTA (Current Employee) - Sheffield - 12 June 2019

Eden Brown is a great supply agency. The staff are very helpful and welcoming, in my experience they have been there for me through any time I have approached them for support or just general advice within my school placements. The only down side is the pay, however this goes with the job (supply TA) itself being a low paid job across the board, rather than being a fault of the company - for example, you will not get paid in school holidays. Additionally, job security does not apply to supply work in most situations due to the nature of the work (this can vary). However, the staff are great and have kept me updated 100% of the way in letting me know of any changes or upcoming work.

Pros

Great management/support

Cons

Low pay

Easy to get along with

Supply Teacher (Former Employee) - North West - 22 March 2019

I found this company helpful when looking for work, although not much work was forthcoming. The opportunities quickly dried up, and there was little communication. When I did do supply, the workplace was excellent.

Pros

helpful staff

Cons

not a lot of work given

Had to chase money each week

Customer Service (Former Employee) - St Helens, Merseyside - 31 January 2018

Admittedly I was employed via this company over five years ago, I had to chase my wages every few weeks as they never went into the bank on time then out I of the blue last year I had a tax request from the inland revenue for £600 that had not been paid while I was working via this agency even though I was paye, as I resisted joining their umbrella scheme. Not a good experience.

Cons

Pay not on time, tax not paid.

Agency work

Housing Support Officer (Former Employee) - Attelborough, Norfolk - 7 October 2017

Agency work that was not really beneficial as there was no permanent place to be offered. I was covering a very dysfunctional Hostel in Attelborough Norfolk, that housed up to 12 males, the management structure was extremely poor resulting in the clients continually breaching H&S concerns without consequences to their actions. This post left me extremely disillusioned. The actual agency manager that provided this opportunity was very understanding of my situation and could only apologies for the behavior's of the actual contracted staff of the housing provider which was Genesis Housing, it certainly put me off working with this provider again.

Pros

No pro's what so ever

Cons

Very Poor inconsistent mamagement structure

Pros

They dont over promise and undeliver!

Cons

Time to time the candidates arn't there right away, but expected in a candidate short market!

It lead me to a permanent position as Housing assistant with the then New Prospects company. I am grateful for the valuable and positive experience.
