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.

I used to get as much work as I wanted with Supply Desk (Brighton branch) now I'm lucky if I get one day a week. The staff are friendly enough but they took ages to process my application and I had to keep chasing them up. The rate of pay is average but it is still the same as it was 12 years ago!

My husband and I moved to the UK 6 months ago to work with Supply Desk. We are so happy we made this move. The Southampton office has been so helpful every step of the way. We would definitely recommend Supply Desk!

I cannot fault the EXCELLENT staff (James and Kate) at the Southampton 'Supply Desk' branch. They have been positive, proactive and they have got me work, in schools, which also appreciate and value my near 1/4 century of teaching experience! James, is professional, supportive and very pro-active in keeping me in the 'loop' about work and he has been very understanding when, for other commitments, I cannot work. Supply Desk was recommended by a colleague. I cannot recommend it more highly enough. Professional, honest and eager to find me the work especially in schools that I like to work in! Well done to all at head office too. Southampton branch - Well done - you deserve this praise. Long may the work and contacts continue!

I have had great success with the team in Brighton - my point of contact, Aaron Blackwell, has been amazing. He's listened to what I wanted in a role and then provided me with exactly that, every time. I would highly recommend this agency to anyone looking for work in schools and colleges. Thank you Aaron!

Supply desk at the Wokingham branch, is amazing. Super efficiant right from the very beginning, Meghan is really friendly, supportive, approachable and always available to help with any problem or just for a chat. They have sent me into great schools that perfectly match the positions I was looking for. In comparison to stories about other agencies, supply desk are more encouraging, personal, friendly and professional. I couldn't recommend them more.

I just want to say, that my experience with Supply Desk has been AWESOME!!!!! I was dealing with the branch manager for the Thames Valley branch, Meghan, who has been ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!!! She has been super quick in her communication and extremely helpful. She even kindly offered to drop me off at the station, when I went to the office to meet her. Thanks so much Meghan!! MASSIVE APPRECIATION!!!!!

Supply Desk in Canterbury was recommended to me by a headteacher aquaintance. After 20 years overseas I am returning to UK teaching. So, I was looking for an agency that would help me get set up quickly. My first contact Maggie was very professional, friendly and really listened to my needs while offering great advice. Maggie worked fast to secure general daily supply and longer term placements. I also worked with Hannah, Ryan and Drew who executed their responsibilities perfectly and are simply nice people which is a real bonus. I am very happy to be working for Supply Desk. Many thanks to all the team !

Quite simply amazing :) Maggie and Katharine have always looked after me well. Whilst working for them I have completed both day to day supply and longer blocks. When I first approached Supply Desk they listened carefully to my requirements and have always matched me well to assignments both long term and short term. I feel that they work with me and faciliate great opportunities to network and extend my knowledge and skills at a pace that suits me. They have been supportive and encouraging allowing me to chose, change and adapt the type of work that I do when I need to. I have recommended them to others and will continue to do so. Quite simply they whole team offer a professional and personalised service. Well done Katharine, Maggie, Hannah, Ryan, Drew and Tracey.
