Prospero Teaching Reviews 

I had a fantastic experience working with Prospero Teaching, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, the team was professional, supportive, and incredibly efficient in helping me find the right role.

A special and heartfelt thank you to Charlotte Wingfield, who has been absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. Her communication was always prompt and friendly, and she genuinely took the time to understand what I was looking for. Charlotte went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and her encouragement and dedication made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable.

If you’re looking for a teaching agency that truly cares and a consultant who will have your back every step of the way, ask for Charlotte at Prospero – you won’t be disappointed!

Prospero is a great opportunity to get amazing jobs easily. The Prospero staff are really nice and friendly, especially the consultant named Olivia. She is efficient and sincere about people's opinions, motivating them without stopping. -From Maliha

I have tried so many times to get into contact with this agency for more details. I have emailed directly to the address listed on the company website and filled out the contact forms online. No matter how hard I try, I cannot receive a response. This is especially frustrating given the gravity of trying to move overseas. We are also a family of teachers who were looking for work overseas, meaning that it was not just me relying on this information. Very disappointing as we were excited at the potential opportunity this could have provided. We are now in contact with an agency who responds. Prospero missed out on 3 fully qualified teachers with experience ready to start ASAP.

Don't bother applying to them as they won't contact you or give you the common humane decency of getting back to you. Be aware of companies advertising false job posts to gain your personal details.

I’ve been working with Prospero since September 2024, and it’s genuinely been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From day one, Dan Hodson has been absolutely fantastic. He’s professional, supportive, and always goes the extra mile to find schools that perfectly match my experience and preferences.

Dan really listens and takes the time to understand what I’m looking for, which has made the entire process smooth and rewarding. I’m still working with Prospero, and I continue to feel valued and well looked after.

If you’re an educator searching for the right fit, I can’t recommend Prospero—and especially Dan Hodson—highly enough. The service has been nothing short of amazing.

Disappointing from the beginning. They promised me a number of hours and then they sent me to a school with very short hours . They were not even aware of that! So in fact they lied to me. Several times tried to get longer hours by myself, asked my consultant to intervene for me. Nothing! He’s never responsible for anything or know nothing.
My first payment the same: wrongly informed, my consultant didn’t know anything, had to fix it myself with the umbrella who really helped me through. He would always put the blame in my. He’s completely disoriented for the position. Can’t sort out anything, knows nothing and blames me for his incompetence.
I didn’t kea e the school because some members of staff are very supportive in many senses. But Prospero? Even today 9 months later continues not knowing anything or helping me out with any problems . Awful! A disgrace!!

I’ve now had to stop all communication with Prospero after spending over six months chasing emails just to get registered. Despite them contacting me for work, I had to repeatedly send the same documents as they kept losing them.

The entire experience has been incredibly frustrating, and I’m genuinely appalled by how disorganised the process was. I would not recommend Prospero to anyone.

Worst experience. Period. Twice they have lied about the role and pay rate. If you are a school or a candidate, you don't want to do business with them. Also unprofessional and disrespectful.

Terrible experience. Lack of professionalism. Consultant takes calls during the interview showing no respect to the candidate. When I sent complaint about unprofessional conduct, the same person called me and was just rude. If I see advert for a job, I simply ignore. No way I would ever consider working for them.

Allegria is amazing.She is friendly and straight to the point.She was helpful when I was in doubt and promptly replied. However, Not much referrals came through, actually none so far.I defined receive lots of email but they do not match my position.

I had a deeply negative experience working with Prospero Group. The management team demonstrated a lack of empathy, and I encountered a workplace culture that was oppressive, misogynistic, and discriminatory. The company prioritises profit over the wellbeing of both its staff and the vulnerable individuals it claims to support.

During my time at Prospero, I witnessed several unethical practices, including double-charging local authorities and exploiting the already overburdened social workers. Instead of providing adequate support for those in need, Prospero placed under qualified or inadequately checked support workers into critical roles, simply to fill placements and generate commissions.

One incident that particularly stands out to me involved a director from the Cardiff branch, who knowingly invoiced a local authority for a shift that was never actually worked, remarking that they 'hoped they wouldn't notice,' which, on many occasions, they didn’t. The company generates significant revenue from local authority placements, but the way these transactions are handled is both unethical and wrong.

It was clear that the company's focus was on financial gain rather than on delivering quality care or ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the young people. I would not recommend working with or for Prospero Group based on my experience.

Firstly, I would like to give a very big thank you to Allegria! My onboarding experience with her has been phenomenal. From the very beginning then all the way through the intermediate stages eventually ending up with the role offer, she has been extremely supportive & kind. Her positive energy is real & I'm really happy that she was the person in charge of my onboarding experience. She never hesitated to help me with any of my previous queries/requests. Always super organised & quick to respond to emails. It has recently just passed the 3-month mark of me being with Prospero Teaching and it is all thanks to Allegria. She is one of the best out there - second to none.

Allegria at Prospero is a professional who fulfills her role with dedication, maintaining both professionalism and a warm sense of humor. She is always responsible and responds promptly to any inquiry or request. Those who have been assigned to her team are fortunate to work with such a helpful and understanding individual."

Onboarding process with Prospero went smooth thanks to Allegria. Allegria gave very clear instructions and was helpful throughout the onboarding process. Allegria was also very nice and made my job interview. Thank you Allegria and thank you Prospero.

I had a positive overall experience with Prospero Teaching. Agents like Ellie, Dan, and Lucy were genuinely helpful, professional, and supportive throughout my journey. Prospero helped me secure a teaching role efficiently, making the process smooth. However, not all experiences were perfect due to communication issues with one team member. Still, a solid 4-star agency.

I had an excellent experience with Prospero, and I cannot praise my recruiter, Laura, enough! From the very first interaction, Laura was extremely honest, professional, and truly invested in finding the right role for me. She went above and beyond to understand my skills, career goals, and preferences, ensuring every opportunity was exactly what I was looking for.

Laura’s communication was outstanding; she kept me updated every step of the way and was always available to answer any questions I had. Her guidance and encouragement throughout the process were invaluable, and I felt genuinely supported from start to finish!

Thanks to Laura’s expertise and dedication, I was able to secure a fantastic role that I’ve now secured permanently, I highly recommend Prospero Teaching, especially Laura! to anyone looking for a recruiter who truly cares and delivers exceptional results!"

Prospero teaching are a good service to work with, they are supportive, approachable and efficient and friendly have worked with them for over 14 months and appreciate all the support given.

Prospero Education is a great agency to work with. The sign up process is quick and efficient and every effort is made to ensure you have support every step of the way.
The team take the time to get to know and understand you and what roles would be best for you.
Within a few days of being registered I was offered a long term placement. Since then I have had work every day.
My point of contact Charlotte Wingfield is incredible! She is very understanding and compassionate. What is different about working with Charlotte compared to past experiences is she takes the time to look after my well-being and ensure I am happy and know that I have a place to turn to if I have any problems with work related issues.
I feel like a valued employee with Prospero!
Thank you Charlotte and the team for all you do for me!

I would highly recommend joining prospero, the rate of pay is better than most agencies, the work is consistent and the team are great!

I definitely recommend Charlotte as a recruitment consultant… if you can request her as yours, then absolutely do so!

Hi,

I was contacted regarding a tutoring role and was excited about the opportunity. I completed the online video registration and uploaded all the requested documents via the link provided.

However, I encountered an issue. I was later sent another link asking me to complete a DBS check and pay £56. This is confusing, as I already have a valid DBS certificate that I obtained four months ago. My understanding is that if a new DBS check were required, Prospero would cover the cost. I am not willing to pay for this, as it was never communicated upfront that I would need a new DBS or bear the cost myself.

Additionally, I am frustrated that I had to upload my documents twice without this process being clarified beforehand. Why wasn’t this communicated earlier?

Frankly, this process feels disorganized and misleading, and I am now concerned it might be a scam. I regret not researching more thoroughly before committing my time to this.

Could you please clarify these issues?

Registration was rocky with poor communication & unorganisation. Completely unprofessional & disingenuous staff within the tutoring department who abuse their positions as consultants. If they do not want to give you an assignment /tutoring role, they don't take your calls, ignore your reply emails & tell you they shall call you back/email you later but never do. Consultants force tutoring role upon you with disingenuity which is done over the phone.
