Finding reliable education professionals has never been more important for schools across London. Whether covering unexpected staff absences, filling long-term vacancies or recruiting specialist SEND professionals, schools need access to experienced and dependable candidates who can make an immediate impact.
At Uniform Education, we have been supporting schools, local authorities and education settings since 2015. As a specialist supply teaching agency in London, we provide high-quality teachers, SEN Teaching Assistants, Learning Support Assistants, Behaviour Mentors, Tutors and support staff to schools across the capital and surrounding counties.
Our mission is simple: to connect outstanding education professionals with schools where they can make a genuine difference.
What Is a Supply Teaching Agency?
A supply teaching agency acts as a recruitment partner for schools, academies and educational settings. We help schools quickly source qualified and experienced staff for short-term, long-term and permanent positions.
Schools often require support for:
Daily supply cover
Long-term sickness cover
Maternity leave
Permanent vacancies
Additional SEND support
One-to-one intervention programmes
Alternative Provision placements
By working with an established supply teaching agency, schools gain access to a pre-vetted network of education professionals who can be deployed quickly and efficiently.
Why Schools Choose Uniform Education
Schools across London trust Uniform Education because we understand the challenges they face. Staffing shortages, increasing SEND requirements and growing demands on school leaders mean that recruitment partners must be responsive, reliable and knowledgeable.
Specialist SEND Expertise
One of our key strengths is Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) recruitment.
We support schools with professionals experienced in:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs (SEMH)
Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD)
Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD)
Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD)
Speech, Language and Communication Needs
Our consultants understand the specific requirements of SEND settings and work closely with schools to identify candidates who possess the skills, experience and personality needed to succeed.
Fast and Reliable Staffing Solutions
Education rarely allows for long recruitment timelines. Schools often require staff at very short notice, particularly when dealing with unexpected absences.
Our extensive candidate network enables us to provide rapid staffing solutions across London and the Home Counties, helping schools maintain continuity for pupils and minimise disruption to learning.
Fully Compliant Recruitment
Safeguarding remains at the heart of everything we do.
All candidates undergo thorough compliance and vetting checks, including:
Enhanced DBS checks
Right to Work verification
Professional reference checks
Employment history verification
Qualification checks
Safeguarding screening
This gives schools complete confidence that every candidate meets the highest standards.
A Personal Approach
Unlike larger national agencies, Uniform Education focuses on building genuine relationships with schools and candidates.
We take time to understand the culture, values and specific requirements of each school, ensuring that every placement is a strong fit for both the school and the candidate.
