Helping Schools Thrive with the Right Staff
At Supply Personnel, exceptional customer service is at the heart of everything we do. We’re here from 6:30am each morning to take your call and support your school’s day-to-day staffing needs. We also understand that staffing challenges don’t always happen during office hours. That’s why we offer an out-of-hours on-call and SMS (text message) service — available during evenings and weekends — to provide the urgent support you may need.
Mainstream Education Staffing Specialist
For over 25 years, we’ve proudly partnered with a wide range of primary, nurseries and SEN schools across the city and county — including many Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs). We work closely with MAT leaders to understand their values, staffing structures and goals, ensuring we provide consistent, high-quality support across all academies.
Many schools join Supply Personnel through word-of-mouth recommendations, which we consider the highest compliment. We're proud to be a valued and reliable resource for both new and long-standing clients.
High-Quality Education Staff, Handpicked for Your School
We understand how challenging and time-consuming it can be to ensure your school or Trust is fully staffed with the right people. That’s where we come in.
We recruit inspiring teachers and reliable, efficient support staff with the skills experience, and passion needed to make a difference. Just as importantly, we take the time to match not only skill sets but also personalities — so our candidates fit seamlessly with your school’s ethos, team, and culture.
At Supply Personnel, we don’t just look at qualifications — we look for people who will thrive in your school environment and become part of your team.
Let us help you find the perfect staff, so you can focus on what matters most — delivering outstanding education.

A Reliable Supply Agency with a Personal Touch
"Supply Personnel is a great supply agency, with a personal touch. The two consultants ensure that they get to know the needs of your school by regular visits and through in-depth communication with whoever books cover through them. By doing this, they know exactly what sort of cover staff are needed, so that the best quality staffing is provided. They have the most competitive rates on the market for cover and in the current financial climate, this is key to supporting school budgets. If you need cover, they sort it . . . if you don’t need cover, they leave you alone! The quality of staff has been very good, and we fully recommend their services. 😊"
