TestimonialsView all Testimonials
Step by Step was recommended to me by the headteacher at the school I was completing my final placement with during my PGCE. The headteacher explained to me that Step by Step was unlike the other teaching agencies because they adopted a very personal approach, whereas other agencies may treat you merely as a number.
Step by Step adopt a very personal and friendly approach to their work. I immediately felt at home talking to Colette and knew she would always try to find me the right work that suited my needs best.
I also signed up with a bigger, more established agency but felt they never even tried to match me with the sort of work that I said I was looking for. With Step by Step I was continually offered work that wholly suited my needs.
I am still in touch with Step by Step, even though I have now secured a permanent position and I know if ever I am passing their offices I can pop in for a chat and a brew.
I cannot recommend Step by Step enough!
