Working with Paul Best has been brilliant. Getting registered was simple and fast, and I was placed in a long‑term SEN position almost immediately after signing up. I’ve had steady work since November... See more

I first made contact with my consultant Brad via LinkedIn. The company is based in Preston and I am in London, so initially I had some reservations as to the number of contacts they may have with London public sector organisations, but no problems whatsoever. They have lots of experience! From the moment we started speaking, Brad made me feel at ease. He really listened to what I wanted in a role and provided me with realistic expectations, not giving me the "sales patter". He was proactively running several roles past me, obtaining feedback from a couple of interviews and used the information to source out the right type of role. I felt that Brad really wanted to secure a role for me, which he finally did. Within an hour of securing my role, I received a telephone call from their contact at Paystream. I was really happy with the service at Spencer Clark and my consultant, Brad and would recommend them.

Richard secured me my first role which I will be forever grateful for however was completely AWOL as my contract ended. No support to find a new role, no replies to calls, emails etc. I managed to find a new role with another agency Richard’s response? To completely ignore all future contact from me. I have tried other agents such as Adam, promises of phone calls never happen, requests to be submitted for roles, no response.
Absolutely spat their dummy out I secured a role with another agency because I had to!

Amazing experience working with SCG. Mia was so friendly, supportive and really understood what I was looking for. She kept me updated every step of the way and made the whole process super smooth. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Reply from Spencer Clarke Group
Having been originally sceptical about joining an agency, my first call with Mia, allayed any fears.
Throughout the process from applying for a role to starting a role (which I did today). I have found SPG (Mia & Nicole) to be very thorough, professional & excellent communicators
There has been fantastic communication via the telephone & email from Mia & also Nicole, who has been able to answer all the questions I have asked, and walked me through the process of what was required etc etc.

Spencer Clarke placed me in a role I desired efficiently and with excellent communication. Mia Whelan was my first point of contact and she was super friendly and helpful. Mia is always quick to respond to emails and calls, great service all round

Great Agency, I had very specific needs with hours/distance to work and Kaitlan went above and beyond to find me work!
Even with my very specific needs. Whenever I had any questions, Kaitlan was only a message away, with quick response.
Makes a huge difference when people at companies like this actually care!
Thanks again, will be in touch if I’m in need of work in the future.

Mia Whelan made my experience with Spencer Clarke group very easy and I felt very welcomed and knew if I needed any help or advice she was always on hand to offer her support.

Reply from Spencer Clarke Group
Can't fault Spencer Clarke, very professional, helpful, nothing seems to be too much trouble for them.
They stay in touch with you and most importantly for me they call you back.

I have had nothing but a positive experience with Spencer Clarke Group. From my initial enquiry they have been incredible, especially Liam Jones who is always a pleasure and is always on hand with any advice or just to listen to me. I was very quickly found a school to work in and the process from the beginning to now has been wonderful. I could not recommend Spencer Clarke Group enough, and thank Liam for everything he has done and continues to do for me.

I had a great experience working with Shannon McGarry. She was incredibly supportive from start to finish — from the recruitment stages through the onboarding process. She kept me updated, made sure I was comfortable with the offer, and was always available whenever I needed assistance. Shannon’s dedication and professionalism truly stand out, and Spencer-Clark Group is very fortunate to have her on their team.

I have worked with numerous agencies as an ESOL. English Tutor since 2008, This agency get back to you when they promise and nothing is too much for them. They are friendly, responsive and totally committed to you. The most helpful, reliable agency I have ever worked with. Thank you! Especially Matt.

Reply from Spencer Clarke Group
I found the agency very supportive, and quick to answer any questions and queries. Also I've found it more personalised, with only one person as a main contact from the beginning.

Reply from Spencer Clarke Group
Matt at Spencer Clarke Group is personable, understanding, and professional. I enjoyed working for SCG, because Matt provided excellent communication and support with everything from signing on to work-related queries. Thank you!

I was contacted by Josh who almost immediately got me an interview… then negotiated to raise the pay rate for me…within 2 weeks of first contact I had signed a contract. I’ve never worked with a recruitment agency before but they have far surpassed my expectations!! Shannon Hughes and Josh Draycott were friendly, respectful and professional. Shannon pushed through my compliance process in a few days. I’m very pleased with the service received and I’m recommending them to friends as a brilliant agency. I can see why they’ve won awards!
