Fiona is a current staff member working for Academics and this is what she has had to say on her experience with us so far:

"Academics is a fantastic agency to work for. I signed up and registered Sept 2022 and have had regular work (as much as I want) since week 1.
They can't do enough to help you when you call for support. All staff are really friendly and work to your specific requirements. If you're thinking of joining an agency, academics needs to be considered!"
