Friends of Dunbar







I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience with Dunbar Education. I was worried that looking for work towards the end of the school year would be difficult but George and his colleagues have made the whole process incredibly smooth.
George in particular has been incredibly encouraging and so dedicated to helping me secure opportunities. Cannot thank him enough!
Would recommend this agency to anyone.

I registered a few months ago with Dunbar Education and I have received regular updates and communication and staff are very polite and friendly and approachable. I have been given day to day supply work too. I look forward to continuing to work with them. They are more professional than other agencies I have worked with. A big thank you to Ricky and George for all your support.

I’ve had a really good experience with Dunbar Education so far. A special shout-out to George, who has been helpful right from the start. I was recommended by a friend, and George made the whole registration process easy and smooth. He’s already helped me secure work that suits me well. I’m really happy with the support I’ve received and looking forward to starting work with them!

I highly recommend Dunbar Education to anyone looking for a teaching position.
I have had a wonderful experience with them.
From the moment I registered with them, they never failed to find me some long term positions in various schools.
Every Friday I received a message of recognition and encouragement for my hard work from Kieran.
Through Dunbar placement I have received a permanent offer to the school they sent me to.
I am sincerely grateful to Dunbar Education and supporting team.
Thank you.

Excellent experience with Dunbar. I had the pleasure of dealing with Jakk who was fantastic from the moment I first spoke to him. He was always contactable and listened to every request and concern I had about teaching roles. He remained with me throughout the recruitment process and he will be the first person I go to should I need to find another teaching in the future. Highly recommend.

I’ve had a great experience working with Ricky at Dunbar Education. He has been incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the entire process. His communication is always clear and timely, which made everything smooth and stress-free. His professionalism and dedication really stand out and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend working with him.

If you are looking to move from outside the UK and you would prefer a position in teaching, then don’t look any further than ICan teach UK. They will give you the best advice, ensure you know what to do throughout your process and arrange all your interviews with schools you should fit in with. I have moved from Johannesburg South Africa to England and my wife and I can’t wait to explore the whole of the UK. Big thanks to all members that assisted me at ICan Teach UK and a special thank you to Matt Brown.

They are very helpful. They communicate with your regularly about the progress of your job search and also give great support such as planning for the interviews and sample teaching. I will definitely recommend them

Bernard - Georgaphy Teacher, Irish Trained
Excellent team! I’ve had the pleasure of working with Matt Brown and Beth Price. Both have been extremely considerate and accommodating, providing timely updates and constant checks. There’s always someone to answer your questions. I’ve already recommended them to my friends in Jamaica. Kudos to the team!
Marshell - Science Teacher, Jamaican Trained
I worked through so many agencies and most of them weren’t helpful at all. When I first made contact with iCan Teach UK Jenna Roberts called me within a day and we got the ball rolling. Pretty soon after I had interviews lined up. I ended up getting an amazing offer from a school. All because Jenna didn’t let me give up. She was helpful, kind, enthusiastic, and patient throughout the whole process. I could call her anytime if I had even the silliest questions or worries. I already recommended her to some people. I couldn’t have asked for better. The help with the Taxi is also a major bonus
