  I have worked with a company called Trust education, based in North London and I found them to be far better than the others you have mentioned. They can be found on 0207 328 0000, have a look www.trusteducation.co.uk

• Teaching in the UK

  My suggestion would be to join a couple of the larger teaching agencies. If you are here in Australia now try to pick an agency that has an office here in Australia. I signed up with 2 here in Australia before heading to the UK and both were good. The people I dealt with before I left were lovely and helped me with a lot of the questions I had. The fact that they were both teachers who had taught in the UK themselves was also reassuring! I got work through both agencies (ITN Mark and SANZA)out there on a supply basis and they kept me pretty busy!
