Fake jobs
Behaviour Support Worker (Former Employee) - Preston - 25 October 2023
These people sell a great job but in fact are merely collectors of people. Long drawn out process, never get back to you. Every time you provide more information , they want more. Nothing but sales people. Embarrass you because you’re doing nothing but wasting your time.
Pros
None
Cons

Ok people to work with
Special Needs Assistant / Support Worker (Former Employee) - Leeds - 24 August 2023
They are a recruitment company for placement based jobs but its not permanent work. You get varied work but must specify where you want to work. Their staff that do the recruitment / booking are ok, was given training required for my work as a Special Needs Support worker for a school nearby. All in all was ok people to work for if you're looking for temp work and you are inbetween jobs
Pros
Get to choose where you'd like to work e.g. schools
Cons
Not permanent work, low pay

Great work environment, fantastic managers
Cover Supervisor/Teaching Assistant (Current Employee) - Liverpool - 27 July 2023
Everything from the day of my interview to the placements I have had has been great. The managers really listen to you, are easy to talk to, kind, compassionate and helpful. I have found my needs have always been met by my managers and I couldn’t recommend vision enough. You’re able to express your needs for work and what you’re looking to do and they will try to accommodate you as best as they can and put you in long term positions when and as they can if you’re looking for a bit more stability. You have the option to refuse shifts or schools if you’ve had bad experiences with them but I personally have not had a bad experience in any of the schools, they have all been welcoming and kind.
Pros
Great management

Good for starters within the industry
School Sports Coach/Cover Supervisor (Current Employee) - Preston - 9 July 2023
For myself wanting to get into teaching it is an excellent job as a first time. Getting paid teaching experience. The management at the Preston branch are extremely supportive and couldn’t ask for better management, understanding that I can only work part time due to my degree. There is always work available whenever you want/need it and weekly pay especially being a student is a bonus. However the day rate is quite low in comparison to other agencies and for some of the work I provided i believe i should be being paid significantly more, I am fluent in BSL due to my parents beinf deaf and have worked at a deaf unit school in preston on longer term placements, however was being paid the same rate as general cover. Due to my unique skill set which i believe is an asset to the agency/not many other, if any other employees have, I believe this is an underpayment based on what I can provide for vision.
Pros
Consistent work, weekly pay
Cons
Lower pay rates

Reliable and great team to work for
Special Needs Teaching Assistant (Current Employee) - Bradford, West Yorkshire - 7 July 2023
Vision is a great place to work for. I have worked with them for many months now and I am only leaving to work at a school full time. The app for shifts is great and easy to use. They cater the shifts around you and your schedule. Fantastic opportunity to meet different schools and get into teaching. Management have quick replies and are very approachable. Pay is weekly and always on time , it also goes up with the more experience you gain! Plenty of room for growth. Only con I would say is lack of work during school holidays!

This company tells you it has work when it does not have any work for you all the schools they work with already have their staff so you don’t really get a chance …
Pros
Shift is short
Cons
No support no shifts

A supportive and enthusiastic workplace
Teaching Assistant SEN (Current Employee) - Manchester, Greater Manchester - 16 May 2023
After entering into my initial conversation with Vision 4 Education to arriving at my first placement at an incredible SEND primary school in Gtr Manchester, I have been quick to be part of a progressive and inclusive group of people. They regularly checked in with me at the first few months and allowing me to fit in my art practice and working days I could each week throughout the year. An excellent working relationship with stability and time to build deep working relationships with the school.
Pros
Pressure free and supportive team
Cons
