Same Expertise, Same Standards.
From maternity cover to fixed-term contracts, we provide trusted, experienced Teachers, Leaders and Support Staff for your School or Education Provision, quickly and with care.
When you need stability, flexibility, and quality, fast.
At MAT Recruitment, we understand that long-term absences, maternity leave, phased returns, and unfilled vacancies can create disruption and uncertainty for your staff and students. That’s why we also offer a dedicated long-term supply recruitment service that delivers consistent, experienced, and reliable education professionals without compromise. As part of our Long-Term Supply offering, registered candidates also gain free access to our Supply Staff Training & CPD, helping you strengthen your skills and maximise your impact.”
Whether you’re looking for a subject specialist for a term, a pastoral lead for two months, or a teaching assistant to cover a year-long absence, we’re here to help.
Just like with our commitment to permanent recruitment, all of our long-term supply candidates are fully compliant and selected based not only on their qualifications, skills, and classroom experience, but also on their ability to integrate seamlessly into your school community. We take time to understand the unique ethos, values, and expectations of your school or educational provision, ensuring every candidate we place will contribute positively from day one. We’re also corporate members of the REC, proving our commitment to implementing high-quality industry regulated standards. From subject knowledge to behaviour management, and from safeguarding to cultural alignment we cover every detail so you can have complete confidence in the quality and consistency of our long-term supply staff.
You’ll benefit from the same tailored approach we use for permanent recruitment, because here at MAT Recruitment we understand that temporary doesn’t mean second-best.

FAQs
How long is a “long-term” supply placement?
We tailor the length to suit your school’s specific needs. Whether you require cover for maternity leave, long-term illness, phased returns, or to fill a vacancy while recruiting permanently, we can provide a solution that ensures consistency and continuity for your pupils.
Can I interview supply staff before confirming?
Yes, absolutely. We encourage schools to interview or meet candidates before confirming a placement, especially for long-term roles. This helps ensure a strong match in both skillset and school culture. Our consultants will support you in coordinating the process quickly and efficiently.
What happens if the placement doesn’t work out?
We’re committed to getting it right, but if a placement isn’t meeting expectations, we’ll step in immediately. Our team will listen to your feedback, resolve any issues, and if needed, find a suitable replacement promptly with minimal disruption to your school. Your satisfaction and pupils’ continuity of learning remain our priority throughout the entire placement.
