We have worked with SAAF for over 2 years, and they have yet to let us down. Our consultant has been fantastic throughout this time and has been open and honest about every aspect of our interactions, always going the extra mile to support us. I would recommend their services to anybody without hesitation

Acting Deputy Head, Primary School, Hull

Prompt, efficient and friendly. Listens to our requirements and tries to match them appropriately unlike some other agencies who send absolutely anyone! Our consultant is available all the time which is useful if we need to organise cover out of hours.

School Business Manager, Primary School, Beverley

I have worked with and trusted my consultant at SAAF for many years. Unlike some educational consultants, he will never place you in a position that is not right for you or the school. He takes time to get to know all those that he works with and always goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone is successful. If you are considering working on a supply basis, I can wholeheartedly recommend working with SAAF Education Ltd.

Paul, Teacher

My consultant has supported me in gaining experience working in a primary school, which I enjoy thoroughly and is a role I see myself doing in the long run. My Consultant has guided me through the process and the service provided has been excellent - I would recommend to others!

Haleeza, HLTA

Our consultant is transparent and won't try and push candidates on our provision who are not suitable. Very good communication and we are always informed of recruitment status.

Office Manager, Primary School

I like SAAF's supportive process of finding new staff for our admin team, with the intention of taking them on permanently in the future. My consultant knows what we are looking for in staff and has managed to find us quite a few new members of the admin team, who we have either moved to permanent or are in the process of moving. I'm really pleased with the support we're receiving and the supportive working relationship we have built.
