What our relief teachers say about working with us

I would strongly recommend EP for preschool work. Communication was excellent and I always felt as if I was treated as a professional and you had my back. I greatly appreciated the work at a variety of centres. It was super interesting to get an overview of ECE in Auckland.

I've worked for EP Education for a few months, and the team has been great. Incredibly supportive, and they never sacrifice quality of the services they provide, whilst always looking after the employees. Through EP Education I have connected with some great organisations, and I often hear very positive feedback. Thank you EP Education for your support!

My experience [working with ep.education] is I could experience different centres and different age groups through relief teaching. I like ep.education because I can show chose my preferred working time and day. It’s really awesome! If my friends are interested with ECE relief teaching, I would recommend ep to them.

I have worked with EP in various capacity for the last 6 years and I continue to be impressed by the professionalism and friendliness of EP staff. Working with EP gives you great experience and flexibility while earning a good coin. I recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone in need of a permanent or casual role. You will be well cared for and your needs will be their priority.

I love the efficient communication EP has. Maddie from EP is always quick at responding to emails and has helped me a lot while navigating working under level 3 and traffic light system! Worked for other agency before, but will definitely recommend EP for the first choice.

Early childhood teacher, Wellington

I was really excited and ready to explore my experience. I hadn’t worked in a centre before and now I finally found this opportunity to share my skills and also to learn some new things. What I like about ep is the good communication. The team is very helpful and friendly. I recommend ep to my friends.

Early childhood teacher, Wellington

I have been working as a relief teacher for EP education for over a year now. I've had an excellent experience. The team are supportive, efficient and friendly, especially Zaf and Mary.

Early childhood teacher, Auckland

I have found the team at EP to be very supportive and understanding. EP has been able to find me weekly relief work in the ECE, Primary and Intermediate sectors. My relief experience I feel has continued to develop my own practice as an educator, which has given me more focus and drive on the next steps to getting back into the classroom full time.

Overseas-trained primary teacher, Auckland

In the time I have been with EP, the staff have always been friendly, professional and proactive. They have listened and accommodated the hours and days I wanted to work and what areas in Auckland I've wanted to work in. EP really value and look after their relievers.

Everyone at EP was so helpful and easy to get in contact with. They made the whole process of relief teaching seem a lot less daunting and a lot more accessible. I’m very grateful to be able to access their service!

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.

Early childhood teacher, Christchurch

I found that team is lovely, cooperative and quick in replying back if any queries.

Early childhood 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

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.
