Our candidates say

“Prospero has consistently delivered a high-quality service since I joined their organisation in January 2011. They offer a very personalised service which enables strong professional relationships to be formed with a small number of consultants. Prospero’s staff offer excellent career guidance and present a variety of job opportunities. They also regularly seek feedback as to job satisfaction and are quick to respond to any questions. Their insight is reliable, honest and valuable” Jeremy

“I particularly like the way I have been able to develop a good working relationship with one particular consultant. This has enabled the consultant to seek positions that match my teaching profile in terms preferred year group preference, ease of travel, availability etc. In my experience, the consultants at Prospero are always prompt to respond to correspondence, extremely helpful with planning travel times and routes as well as acting as a liaison between schools and myself, for example when it comes to accessing feedback from interviews” Ann
