Welcome Back from London and the Home Counties’ #1 SEN Agency

Welcome back!

We hope everyone had a brilliant summer and managed to enjoy a well-earned break.

The new academic year is here and the team at Uniform Education is back, fully staffed and ready to help schools, colleges and candidates across London and the Home Counties.

Whether you have an urgent vacancy, need extra SEN support in a mainstream classroom or are looking for your next job in education, give us a call.

We have been helping schools and education staff since 2015, and we are proud to have built long-standing relationships with specialist SEN schools, mainstream schools, colleges, alternative provisions and academy trusts across the region.

SEN Specialists Who Also Understand Mainstream Schools

SEN recruitment is a major part of what we do, but we are not limited to specialist schools.

We support mainstream primary and secondary schools with all their staffing needs, including schools that require experienced staff to support pupils with SEN in the classroom.

We regularly recruit for:

  • Primary and secondary teachers

  • SEN and SEND teachers

  • Teaching Assistants

  • SEN Teaching Assistants

  • Learning Support Assistants

  • HLTAs

  • One-to-one support staff

  • Behaviour mentors

  • Pastoral staff

  • Cover supervisors

  • Outreach and specialist tutors

  • School administrators

  • Nursery and early-years staff

  • Caretakers and site staff

Mainstream schools are supporting more pupils with additional needs than ever before. We know how important it is to find someone who can support the individual pupil while also working properly with the class teacher, SENCO and wider school team.

We supply staff for one-to-one support, SEN inclusion units, small-group interventions, classroom support and behaviour or pastoral work.

Our candidates have experience supporting pupils with autism, ADHD, SEMH, speech and language needs, learning difficulties, physical disabilities and complex needs.

Need Staff for Your School or College?

Schools do not always get much notice when a vacancy appears. A member of staff may leave unexpectedly, go off sick or decide during the summer that they will not be returning.

That is where a reliable recruitment agency earns its money.

We can help with:

  • Emergency and day-to-day supply cover

  • Short-term bookings

  • Long-term placements

  • Maternity cover

  • Permanent recruitment

  • Additional SEN support

  • One-to-one pupil support

  • Multiple vacancies across several school sites

When you call Uniform Education, you will speak to someone who understands education recruitment and knows the schools and areas they cover.

We will listen to what you need, ask the right questions and introduce candidates who are suitable for the actual role—not simply anyone who happens to be available.

Our team can support mainstream schools, SEN schools, PRUs, alternative provisions, colleges, nurseries, local authorities and Multi-Academy Trusts throughout London and the Home Counties.

A Clear Procurement Route Through Value Match

Uniform Education’s main procurement route is the Value Match Managed Sourcing Service.

This gives eligible schools, colleges and academy trusts a clear and properly managed way to appoint Uniform Education in line with the Procurement Act 2023, subject to the relevant process being completed.

Value Match can assist with:

  • Supplier appointment

  • Pricing and benchmarking

  • Contractual paperwork

  • Procurement records

  • Audit reporting

  • Clear and transparent rates

The procurement side is properly documented, but your everyday relationship remains directly with Uniform Education.

You will still speak to our team about vacancies, candidates, bookings, compliance and anything else you need.

Award-Winning Education Recruitment

We are proud to have received national recognition for both our recruitment service and the work we do beyond recruitment.

Uniform Education was named Temporary Recruitment Agency of the Year 2025 at the UK Business Awards.

We were also an International CSR Excellence Award winner in 2026, recognising our commitment to giving back and making a positive contribution to schools and local communities.

These awards mean a lot to us because they recognise the two things we care about most: providing a good service and making a genuine difference.

We have never wanted to be an agency that simply fills bookings and moves on. We want to build proper relationships with schools, look after our candidates and support the communities in which we work.

Looking for Your Next Education Job?

If you are a teacher, Teaching Assistant, LSA, tutor, cover supervisor, administrator or other education professional looking for work, we would love to hear from you.

We are registering candidates for daily supply, short-term, long-term and permanent work across:

  • North London

  • South London

  • East London

  • West London

  • Central London

  • Hertfordshire

  • Middlesex

  • Surrey

  • Essex

  • Kent

  • Buckinghamshire

  • Berkshire

You might be an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant, a qualified teacher looking for a change, an ECT searching for the right school or someone with transferable experience who wants to start working in education.

Whatever your situation, our team will have a proper conversation with you about the work you want.

We will look at your experience, preferred locations, availability and the type of school in which you are likely to do well.

We will not pressure you into accepting a role that is not right for you.

What Our Candidates Say

We can talk about our experience and awards, but the best way to understand Uniform Education is to hear from the people who have worked with us.

Charlie Taylor-Barca — Five-Star Google Review

Charlie described Uniform Education as a fantastic agency to work with.

He praised the team’s communication and said that we genuinely care about matching the right candidates with the right roles. He also strongly recommended our service.

That is exactly how recruitment should work. It is not just about sending someone into a school—it is about finding a role that suits the candidate and a person who fits the school.

Freddie Franchi — Five-Star Google Review

Freddie said he was really impressed with the level of service he received from Uniform Education.

He praised the consistent support provided by the team and described our recruitment process as smooth and transparent.

Freddie recommended Uniform Education to schools looking for staff and candidates searching for work.

AF FRC — Five-Star Google Review

This candidate praised Leesha in our compliance team for her hard work, patience and commitment.

Leesha kept in touch, helped the candidate provide all the required documents and made sure everything was clearly explained.

Education compliance can involve a fair amount of paperwork, so having someone patient and helpful on the other end of the phone makes a real difference.

Marleine Griffin — Five-Star Google Review

Marleine praised the fast, professional and courteous service she received from registration onwards.

She thanked the team, particularly David, for the help and support she received throughout her employment with Uniform Education.

With our support, Marleine went on to secure a full-time permanent position at a local school. She was also pleased with her weekly pay and highly recommended the agency.

We are always delighted when a temporary placement develops into the right permanent role for a candidate.

Lia — Five-Star Google Review

Lia worked through Uniform Education while she was studying.

She said that we regularly found her work on the days she was free, allowing her to gain experience and earn money around her studies.

When Lia moved to a different area, the team helped her find new roles closer to where she was living.

Not everyone wants or can commit to five days a week. We work with candidates who need full-time roles as well as those looking for flexible work around studies, family or other commitments.

Marcos Miranda — Five-Star Google Review

Marcos described his work as a one-to-one Teaching Assistant through Uniform Education as incredibly rewarding.

He said the role gave him opportunities to make a positive impact on pupils’ lives and contribute to their education.

Marcos also praised the support he received from the Uniform Education team. He felt valued, encouraged and able to develop both professionally and personally.

He recommended Uniform Education to anyone looking for a fulfilling career in education and said he was proud to work with an agency that cares about making a difference to pupils.
