What Teaching Personnel Ltd does

Teaching Personnel Ltd is a UK-based education staffing and recruitment agency operating exclusively across England and Wales. The company places supply teachers, teaching assistants, and support staff into primary, secondary, SEND, early years, alternative provision, and Catholic schools, as well as Multi-Academy Trusts. It operates a dual-sided technology platform — myTP Work for educators and myTP Staff for schools — that handles availability, booking, rebooking, and workforce management, with additional tools including SupplyMaps (geographic matching) and Safe Staffing (compliance). The company runs an extensive regional branch network of 30+ offices across nine macro-regions and supports a broader ecosystem of programmes including the ECT Pool for Early Career Teachers, CPD Academy for professional development, the School-Led Tutoring Grant, the Future Teacher Programme, and apprenticeship training pathways.

Teaching Personnel generates revenue via transaction-fee arrangements with schools for temporary supply cover, long-term placements, and permanent recruitment. Pricing is negotiated and quote-based rather than publicly disclosed; pay structures reference daily rates from under £100 to £100-199+ for supply roles. The go-to-market combines direct field sales through regional consultants (particularly for MAT and enterprise relationships) with self-serve digital channels via the job portal and mobile apps. Marketing spans content marketing, webinars, organic social, and a referral programme for educators. The company also participates in government-funded initiatives (apprenticeship levy, DfE-funded qualifications, School-Led Tutoring Grant), tying parts of its offering to public funding streams.

The company is a private limited company registered in England & Wales (company number 3225158) and operates as a subsidiary of Supporting Education Group (SEG), which provides strategic direction and shared services across its education staffing brands. No funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership changes, or revenue figures are disclosed in the available source data, limiting visibility into financial trajectory and ownership structure beyond the SEG parent relationship.
