Their Expertise in Education Recruitment

Mission: Their mission is to match school staffing needs with the best available candidates and to work together with teachers, teaching assistants and schools with the objective of raising standards.

Vision: Supply Desk wants to be recognised as a highly innovative education-staffing solutions supplier and to be ranked as No 1 in the UK amongst supply agencies for customer service.

Core Values: Their staff have worked together extensively to agree how their personal values align with their Company Core Values. These values have come from their staff and they are committed to ensuring that they are front and centre when they’re dealing with each other, our clients and our candidates.

History: They have been operating since 2002 when they 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%. They’re proud of their history as innovators in education and our vision to be recognised as such is reflected in the many ways they try to help schools find the right staff. Supply Desk now has over 14 years of experience and their focus today is still on a fair price and a ‘never-compromise’ attitude to quality. To help schools raise standards they know we need to find the best talent and then create the right match.  Supply Desk does this by getting to know each individual school, their staff, their pupils and culture before recommending the right candidate.

Why is Supply Desk different to other education recruitment agencies?

They have an internal milestone to be the number 1 education recruitment agency for customer service in the UK. Which means they’re not here for the short term. They’re building long term relationships.
