About Exeter Supply Partnership
People first. Always.
At Exeter Supply Partnership (ESP), we believe that education settings thrive when everyone feels supported — from the classroom to the staff room.
We’re a not-for-profit Community Interest Company, established by the member schools of the Exeter Consortium. Our mission is simple: to connect schools across Devon with passionate, fully vetted supply staff ready to make a difference.
Why We Do What We Do
We started ESP to offer something different — a more personal, transparent, and community-focused approach to supply staffing.
Too often, both educators and schools felt like just a number. We knew it could be better.
That’s why we prioritise relationships over profit, working closely with both schools and supply staff to ensure everyone feels heard, respected, and well-matched.
Who We Work With
We support:
Whether you’re a headteacher in need of reliable cover or an educator looking for the right fit, we’re here to help — with experience, empathy, and a real understanding of our local schools.
What You Can Expect
We’re proud to play a small but important part in keeping classrooms running smoothly — and helping great educators do what they do best.
