Welcome to Exeter Supply Partnership, a not-for-profit organisation bridging the gap between highly skilled supply teachers, teaching assistants, nursery practitioners and their next job.
If you’ve got Qualified Teacher Status, a passion for teaching and a desire to move into supply work, we’re here to help.
Perhaps you’re newly qualified and looking to gain experience before joining a school full time. Maybe you’re looking to slow down and ease into retirement. Or possibly you’re a parent trying to juggle work with looking after your family.
Whatever your reasons may be, working on supply offers flexibility and variety and we’d be delighted to help match you up with primary schools and nurseries in your local area.
Simply have a look around and / or contact us to find out more about supply work local to you.
Exeter Supply Partnership is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all members of the supply team to share this commitment. We are fully compliant with the DfE Safeguarding Children and Safer Recruitment regulations, with Keeping Children Safe in Education and before any member of the supply team is deployed to a school all mandatory checks required by the DfE are carried out.

“Thank you for providing us with consistent supply teaching during this period - we really appreciated being able to reassure the children and parents that we had a plan in place for consistency during the class teachers absence. Thank you to the teachers who covered for all being brilliant during their days with us."

"I could not have asked for a better step into teaching than ESP. They are incredibly supportive, offer lots of excellent CPD, and do their best to make sure the work is consistent. Communication is always top-notch, and I could not recommend them more. "

"I was ready to give up on supply teaching until I happened to come across an advert for ESP, quite by chance. I've really appreciated you asking, and completely accepting, which schools and year groups we're happy to work in, it really does make a huge difference. It's also been great having access to training courses and network meetings, and it's a lovely opportunity to talk to other supply teachers."

“ESP have become my 'go to' first choice for supply be it a last minute request or planned ahead they couldn't be easier to contact or more helpful. We can rely on quality teachers at the best rates. I would and regularly do recommend them to teachers and schools alike.”

“I worked for ESP for around 7 months. From the very first interview, it was clear that ESP was different to other agencies. They are professional, caring and really listened to my strengths and my personal preferences. The onboarding process was efficient and I was cleared for work in record time. It wasn’t long before I had my first shift and I felt prepared and supported from day 1.” Read more
