When a sudden staff absence leaves you needing to find cover at short notice, the last thing you want is to be searching for a reputable and reliable supply agency to fill the gap.

We have established relationships with trusted supply agencies developed over a long period of time which means we are ideally placed to put you in touch with experienced organisations who can ensure you get the teaching and support staff you need, exactly when you need it.

Why work with HFL to meet your supply teaching needs?

The agencies we work with have been selected by a thorough procurement process carried out against the HFL Supply Framework. The framework terms the agencies operate under ensure your temporary staff will  offer a consistently high level of experience and skill at a transparent and affordable price, whether you need someone to backfill for a day, a week or longer.

Our partnerships offer you the peace of mind of short and medium-term on-demand cover and rapid turnaround times to make sure the gaps in your classrooms are filled quickly, efficiently and with minimum fuss.

Schools, settings, and trusts who subscribe to Teach in Herts will have access to the supply framework, with details of the agencies, the agreed standards and comprehensive pricing information for each.

Our stringent criteria prioritise high quality placements, robust management and quality control processes as well as value for money, with an emphasis on transparency for the end user. The agreed fixed, preferential rates for HFL partner schools and settings are clearly advertised on our HFL website through the HR Services Portal, via your employer dashboard on the Teach in Herts website and on the Herts Grid for Learning, ensuring complete transparency for all stakeholders.

Offering you peace of mind

We maintain our supply agency relationships through a process of regular contact and benchmarking to ensure that they continue to operate the highest possible standards of risk assessment and training, and that their pool of supply teachers and support staff is able to support your school in the best possible way.

We monitor agency performance and delivery through annual surveys to subscribing schools, settings and trusts and termly review meetings with all the agencies in the framework in order to ensure that they continue to deliver a service that meets school needs.

Through this rigorous process we are confident that when your school urgently needs a supply teacher or teaching assistant, we are the go-to solution that offers you exceptional, trusted supply solutions that are cost-effective, reliable and flexible.
