The History of justteachers

justteachers was incorporated in 2005 with two offices based in Coventry & Warrington. Today justteachers covers many regions of the UK with multi-team hubs covering Skipton, North Yorkshire. London, Bournemouth, Coventry, Lincolnshire, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, Manchester, Warrington, North Yorkshire & Lancashire regions.

In 2007 justteachers developed its overseas presence in Australia with the primary objective of bringing Australian teachers into the UK via its London-based branch. At the same time, justteachers invested in its website with another key primary objective – to make this website its primary source of candidate acquisition, an objective that continues to succeed.

In 2010 justteachers opened its Manchester office which has now developed into the North West regional hub incorporating the Warrington office and servicing Manchester, Greater Manchester, Warrington, Wigan, Cheshire and the Wirral. Between 2007 & 2016 justteachers grew on average by 20% year on year and in 2016 became part of the EPG group. Justteachers has also been approved on the Crown Services Framework as a preferred supplier of temporary and supply staff across the country.

The History of Supply Desk

Supply Desk has over 20 years experience of providing staff to the education sector and we believe it is our shared responsibility to provide pupils with the best possible educators so that they can reach their potential.

By providing high quality teachers and support staff to schools, Supply Desk endeavours to support school strategies to bridge gaps, foster resilience and set pupils up for success.

We are the only agency in the UK to have developed a proven intervention, “Love to Read”, which can double the rate of progress in struggling learners during the course of 10-weeks.

As an approved supplier on the CCS (Crown Commercial Service) framework, clients and candidates can be confident that the highest compliance and safeguarding checks are always carried out.

Operating with a branch network across England and Wales, we ensure our staff have a strong local market knowledge of the education sector to be able to truly support the schools, teachers and support staff in the areas that we serve.

We are proud of our history as innovators in education and our vision to be recognised as such is reflected in the many ways we try to help schools find the right staff. We now have 20 years of experience, and our focus today is still on a ‘never-compromise’ attitude to quality. To help schools raise standards we know we need to find the best talent and then create the right match. We do this by getting to know each individual school, their staff, their pupils and culture before recommending the right candidate.

The History of Teach In

The current Teach In team have been operating under this brand since early 2016. Our team has a wealth of experience in teacher and education recruitment. Teach in has found the perfect job for hundreds of NQTs, experienced teachers and teaching assistants each year with the main focus being permanent placements. Teach In’s International team formerly operated under the Supply Desk, justteachers and Synarbor brands. We consolidated to the Teach In brand in 2017 in order to streamline our international division.

The History of e-Qualitas

e-Qualitas is the latest company to join the group. e-Qualitas has a long and successful history and has trained over 5000 teachers over 25 years.

This acquisition has allowed us to round out the group with a complete end to end solution for supporting teachers and schools in the training and development of teachers.
