The new academic year is almost here, and we are now registering primary teachers and support staff across Northamptonshire, South Leicestershire, Buckinghamshire, and Bedfordshire for 2026/27.

If you are a qualified teacher, teaching assistant, or SEN specialist looking for supply work next year, now is the time to get registered so you’re all set and ready to go for the start of September.

Why register with The Staff Room?

We are the region’s only specialist primary supply agency. We don’t do secondary, and we don’t try to be all things to all schools. Primary is all we do, which means we understand the classrooms you work in and the schools you’ll be sent to.

That focus is why hundreds of local primary schools come to us first, and why we always have day-to-day, short-term, long-term, and permanent roles available, both full-time and part-time.

Register with us and you’ll get:

• • Excellent rates of pay – paid in-house through PAYE. No umbrella companies and no hidden deductions.

• • Work that fits your life – daily supply, long-term placements, permanent roles, full-time or part-time. Tell us what you want, and we’ll build your diary around your availability.

• • A priority booking system – most of our work is booked in advance, so you can plan your week well ahead.

• • Real people who know your name – we call; we don’t just text. You’re never a number on a page.

• • CPD and ongoing support – helping you continue to develop throughout the year.

• • A team you can actually reach – clear, prompt, friendly and honest communication from registration onwards.

Our Free DBS Offer Is Back

Pay for your DBS when you register (£44.00), and we’ll refund the full amount once you’ve worked 10 full days with us. This can be any combination of full and half days. It costs you nothing to get fully compliant and ready to work.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It

“The Staff Room get to know you as a person and offer work according to your preferences. They listen to feedback, communicate regularly, and genuinely make you feel part of a team.” Claire, Teacher

“The flexibility and understanding that the agency offers is fantastic, and I feel valued and listened to. They adapted their search to my requirements for morning-only roles, offering a regular flow of work.” Helen, Teacher

“I was offered a permanent role following my registration. All communication was clear and prompt regarding the expectations of the role and the agency offered easily accessible wage slips. I would highly recommend this agency should you be seeking work in the teaching or support role sector.” Kayleigh SEND Teaching Assistant

“I feel like a person working for people who care, rather than just a number on a page. If you’re considering supply work, I wouldn’t look anywhere else.” Ashleigh, Teacher
