What our relief teachers say about working with us

I worked through EP as a relief primary teacher for a short time while living in NZ. I found them excellent - super helpful from the get-go in guiding me through registration processes etc., making it easy for someone holding an international degree to work in the same sector overseas.

- Primary teacher, Auckland

I have found EP to be an excellent employer. They have provided me with the days and hours of work that I have requested. EP has also enabled me to work in the locations around Wellington that best suit me. EP has been very flexible in meeting my employment needs and the team at EP have always been very polite, supportive and professional with me.

- Early childhood teacher, Wellington

EP is a professional company who helps teachers match their interest and availability for work. They have great cooperation with education services and they perform outstanding efficiency for communication with both education services and teachers. I quite enjoy working with them.

Lovely staff, great support when clarification is needed. Sense of humour and available whenever I need to check-in about something. Informed about the schools they work along with.

The team at EP have been great to work with so far. They are professional and personable and show appreciation for their teachers. I am grateful for their flexibility in regards to my availability.
