Pros

After having children, I knew I didn’t want to continue teaching full time. I found Targeted Provision & it was a perfect fit. The flexibility is a major benefit. I am in control of the hours I work. The thing I love most about working for Targeted Provision is making a difference in the lives of vulnerable young people. The opportunity to work one-to-one with these young people means that you can adapt your teaching to meet their needs 100%. It is a privilege to be able to work so closely and make such a positive difference in their lives. The staff at Targeted Provision could not be more supportive. There is always someone on the end of the phone if you have an issue or want to run some ideas by them. The information they provide about the young people is detailed and thorough so you know you can be fully prepared to meet their needs. I would strongly recommend this company to anyone!

Cons

I don’t have any at all!

Pros

None as I've had no work in a whole year.

Cons

I passed the interview and job sounded great. I have over 15 years experience as an ESOL tutor. I paid out for a DBS check and had two referees go out of their way for me. In a whole year I not had one referral. When I queried this, I was told that students have particular requests and I hadn't passed any of these. I just wonder why these things aren't picked up in the recruitment process. It's awful to waste people's time and money, never mind having them use referees that they may not be able to ask again.

Thank you for your review. I want to assure you that we always strive to match our tutors with opportunities that align with their skills and experience. However, since we rely on Local Authorities and Schools to reach out to us when they have a referral, and these requests are fully dependant on the needs of the young people, it can be challenging to predict how much work will be available at any given time. During the onboarding process, we do our best to communicate that there are no guaranteed hours to help set expectations. While we saw an increase in work in your area when you applied, things haven’t continued as we hoped, and we haven’t been able to recommend you for any placements yet. We completely understand your frustration and want you to know that we are committed to supporting the young people we work with by recruiting the best tutors who can truly make a difference. In the meantime, please do contact us if you would still be interested in continuing to be considered for work with us so that we may do our best to make this situation right.
