I have been working for The Staff Room for several months now. I am delighted with the service they provide from the initial interview to the care they take of their staff, whilst finding posts for them as well as keeping in contact throughout. They have this natural ability to match a teacher to a school, thus guaranteeing a more of a long term working opportunity. I feel very fortunate to be on their books and am always offered plenty of work and support, as I feel an important part of the service they provide. I look forward to many more years and opportunities in their more than capable hands. Thank you for all you do!
What our Schools
and Teachers are saying

My first impressions of The Staff Room team were that they were friendly, understanding and extremely professional. Having worked with them for the last few months, I am happy to share that this is exactly the case. I have rarely been short of work and have never felt pressured to accept work that I didn’t feel was right for me. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is considering going into supply work.

I started working for The Staff Room at the beginning of 2024. One of my former work colleagues highly recommended The Staff Room and suggested I should contact them. I approached The Staff Room towards the end of 2023, as I was at the end of a long term contract and by the end of 2023, I had secured a role as a HLTA in a primary school for the beginning of 2024. I am a qualified teacher, but no longer wanted the full role of a teacher (planning etc.), so the HLTA role, was just perfect. I have thoroughly enjoyed the HLTA role since, with the balance of supporting and covering teachers, when required.
The Staff Room are a very kind, professional and caring team. They are very supportive with any queries or questions you may have. What I especially like, is that when you call them for help or to clarify something, they are never in a hurry to get you off the phone. You always come first, you are not just a number but a person who is valued. That for me, is of paramount importance.
I would highly recommend The Staff Room, they provide an excellent service and are wonderful team.

The Staffroom is a great supply agency to work for because:
•They have plenty of work available for you.
•They are flexible for what suits you and take notice of any concerns that you may have.
• The pay is good and it is really useful to have some term-time pay kept and given as holiday pay.
• The team are always friendly and calm; so you don’t feel under pressure.
• It’s lovely to teach different children without the stresses of planning.

I have worked for The Staff Room for nearly 5 years. It was whilst on supply I heard of the agency and lots of schools and teachers on supply highly recommended them to me.
They are an excellent supply agency specialising in primary supply teaching. A very dedicated team, they provide a great service to their schools as well as being very supportive of their supply teachers. They are really friendly, professional, efficient and they listen. I have always been able to discuss any issue that has cropped up whilst on supply with any of the team.
I have never been pressured into doing roles that I have not wanted to do. The team at The Staff Room fully understand that most teachers in primary education usually have a particular age group they prefer.
Having taught for over 35 years I would highly recommend The Staff Room.

The Staff Room was recommended to me by the supply teachers that were used at my previous school. They spoke of the friendly people, who really cared and knew who you were as a person. When I joined I found this to be true: all members of staff were friendly, welcoming and made me feel at ease immediately. They took the time to listen to my wants and needs, which were always put at the forefront. Any queries or concerns were dealt with quickly, efficiently and professionally. Whenever I rang the office, they remembered who I was, asked about my family and if I was enjoying the jobs I had taken. They really take the personal approach. I am now in a full time position but if I was ever to return to supply, The Staff Room would be my first choice.
