About Supply Desk

Supply Desk have been operating since 2002 when we launched the first agency management recruitment services within education, for school groups in the UK. This was delivered in partnership with the London Borough of Harrow in 2002. The service was ground-breaking for the time and within the first 2 years, savings of over £1 million were made across the authority, and teacher retention rates improved by 70%. We’re proud of our history as innovators in Education and our vision to be recognised as such is reflected in the many ways we try to help schools find the right staff. We now have over 14 years of experience and our focus today is still on a fair price and a ‘never-compromise’ attitude to quality. To help schools raise standards we know we need to find the best talent and then create the right match.  We do this by getting to know each individual school, their staff, their pupils and culture before recommending the right candidate.

Have enjoyed my time working for supply desk (Southampton branch). Always really helpful most of my contact is through Becky who is so nice and always does her best to get you the best as such would highly recommend the agency. They also check in to make sure you are doing okay which is a lovely touch. I've always found them to really care about those that work for them.

I have been registered with the High Wycombe branch about 6 months ago and I am so impressed with the service. I have had long term bookings since I started with some really nice schools and now I got a new long term booking lined up for September. I work with Waqas, who has been brilliant, he is always approachable and has been fantastic. I can’t recommend SUPLLY DESK IN HIGH WYCOMBE enough!

Jennifer and Becky in the Southampton office were excellent and worked really hard on my behalf to find me suitable work. They kept in touch with me regularly and were always at the end of the phone if I had any questions. Would highly recommend

Have been registered with them for about five months and still got no work at all! Every week they ask for availability but nothing. They keep promising you to put in the priority list and give work but never happens.

I have worked for supply desk for two years after deciding to become semi retired. Hannah interviewed me initially and has been main contact with supply desk providing varied and interesting placements, her professionalism has been invaluable throughout this time. The teaching has often gone beyond self propelled lessons and has enabled me teach and deliver meaningful lessons to the students. This has been either a short term placement or bookings that require teaching over a longer term. I would recommend supply desk to any colleague within the profession. Hats off to Hannah, Erika, Katherine and Drew.

I have been working for Supply Desk (Kent) for several years. The staff are professional, friendly and helpful. I was supported by Katherine when I recently had an issue with a school. She showed understanding and compassion. Katherine never judged me but assured me of her support. I am well looked after by the agency. I will recommend Supply Desk to anyone looking for a caring, friendly and supportive agency to work for.

I have worked for Supply Desk for over 2 years now and have found the whole team to be extremely helpful and friendly. I have enjoyed working for them in schools and as a 1 : 1 tutor. Most of my contact has been with Ryan, who provides excellent support and has listened to any concerns with understanding. I would recommend any teachers who are seeking agency work to contact Supply Desk.

I have enjoyed every minute of working for Supply Desk since I first met the Canterbury Team in January 2016. I have been well looked after by Katharine and all her colleagues, both the current and former members of the Canterbury branch. They are all friendly and approachable; have listened to my requirements and have found me day-to-day, 1:1 tutoring and long term positions. I have been kept very busy since registering and have had the opportunity to work in a variety of local schools with great staff, and where I have been able to help and support many lovely children. Thank you for all your hard work!

Work is plentiful but requests for pay rises (Watford) are unheard of, despite many years passing. They have fallen behind other agencies with their rates.

Canterbury branch is the best branch. They have never left me without a job for 1 week. They are so amazing with lovely staffs. I really missed the branch . Unfortunately moving from london to Sunderland hearing that the branch i registered to in Sunderland will seize to exist by 26th of July is very sad. I really missed my direct contact Drew. Also missed Ryne, Catherine, Maggie, Hannah and Tracey. I recommend the branch to anyone who has a degree and any qualified teacher. They are just the best. Applying to other agecies, they ve always given me reference. And they are very prompt responding to the reference. Thanks so much and continue the good job.

Having used Supply Desk as a DHT they were top of my list for job seeking when I retired. I have had constant Tutoring opportunities since. My “ Handler” RW has looked after my interests and preferences in a sensitive and understanding way. Communication with him and his colleagues is always a pleasure. The organisation as a whole make me feel part of the team in spite of the fact that I don’t get to see them in person very often.
