What MOORE TEACHERS LTD does

Moore Teachers Ltd is a privately-held education recruitment agency specialising exclusively in Early Years and Primary settings across the East of England, with its headquarters at Office 6, Elsie House, 30 High Street, Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire. Founded in 2012, the company supplies qualified supply teachers, teaching assistants, learning support assistants (including SEND specialists), higher level teaching assistants, early years practitioners, and school administration staff to primary schools on a daily supply, short-term, and long-term placement basis. Core operating regions are Hertfordshire and Essex, with stated coverage extending into East Hertfordshire and North Hertfordshire and Cambridge via named consultants covering defined territories.

The firm's service portfolio is built around eight product lines anchored on supply teacher recruitment and teaching assistant placement, with specialist SEND, HLTA, and early years recruitment serving as differentiation layers. Pricing is structured on a transaction-fee (unit/day or unit/hour) basis, with PAYE payroll and employee benefits offered to candidates; supply teachers bill at GBP 130-270 per day, teaching assistants at GBP 85.5-90 per day, learning support assistants at GBP 85.5-100 per day, and after-school club assistants at GBP 15 per hour. There is no proprietary technology platform; operations rely on a website-driven job board, LinkedIn-based applications, and direct consultant-led sales engagement with schools.

Moore Teachers monetises placement volume via daily/transaction fees paid by schools for the supplied staff. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-led: a small team of named consultants (Chris Kinread as Business Manager, Marie Walker as Finance Manager, Kirsty Quintin as Principal Recruitment Consultant, and consultants Marc Lawley, Caitlin Carpenter, with Ella Moore managing compliance) maintain ongoing accounts with primary schools. The firm holds HFL Education Framework Partner status and REC Audited Education certification, positioning it as a credentialed, vetted supplier within UK education procurement channels, and it is incorporated in England and Wales under company number 08105890 with no disclosed external investors or parent company.
