Welcome to the virtual home of SECONDARY SUPPLY
- a small teacher supply agency but one which punches above its weight!
There are lots of teacher supply agencies. But SECONDARY SUPPLY is unique for several reasons.
- SECONDARY SUPPLY is a Leicester-based agency. We’re not a huge-but-impersonal national company. We serve an area that covers everywhere within Leicestershire and Rutland. And, within this zone, we know the area, we know its schools, and we know its headteachers.
- SECONDARY SUPPLY lets schools advertise their own vacancies on this site. This service is free of charge for a trial month. Thereafter the fee is very affordable. And users may post ads for not only teachers but also ancillary and support staff. Ads are checked for content and will usually appear on the day they’re submitted.
- SECONDARY SUPPLY is focused on providing supply teachers for secondary schools. So ordinarily we deal only with supply staff, long-term placements and permanent positions for secondary schools. This focus allows familiarity from which both schools and supply staff benefit.
- SECONDARY SUPPLY is long-established. We’ve been operating with the same owner, staffed by the same people, since 1994. So we’re not a fly-by-night operation with ever-shifting staff. We were the first commercial supply operation in Leicestershire! We’re well-known and trusted. And we’ve cultivated good working relationships with clients and personnel that reflect the length of time we’ve been in business.
- SECONDARY SUPPLY makes the Quality Mark redundant. We operate to standards which exceed those required by the DCSF and the REC. We utilise photo-ID badges, which are not insisted upon for agencies except those on London’s PSL. We ask for, and follow up, 3 references rather than the 2 that are legally required.
- SECONDARY SUPPLY pays to the DCSF pay scale – and publishes the rates its staff are paid. Annual pay rises are acknowledged and increments are given. What’s more, our rates are published on this site. A lot of other agencies do not pay to scale as we do.
In summary, we may be a small teacher supply agency but we punch above our weight!
