FAQs

Our pay rates are based on national recognised pay scales, experience, qualifications, flexibility, demand and availability. On registering with The Supply Register, we take these aspects into account and ensure you receive a rate of pay that you are entirely satisfied with and ensures you receive the regularity of work you desire.

We pay all staff every week (every Fridays). Payment is subject to us receiving an approved timesheet for the work completed. You can submit your timesheet and expenses (where applicable) via the candidate portal. The candidate portal is also where you will receive your payslip, P60s and P45.

To enable us to process your payment, all days worked must have a corresponding timesheet authorised by a hiring manager at the school where you are working. Timesheets for days worked must be submitted by Monday 1 pm at the latest (following week the work was completed). This will ensure you receive your payslip by Wednesday and funds into your account by Friday.

All pay rates quoted will be inclusive of 12.07% statutory holiday pay.

Not at all. Supply teaching gives you the chance to improve your skills in a number of school environments. You will gain unique experiences to set you apart from people who have only worked in one place and maybe less able to adapt. Supply work for NQTs is vitally important as you choose the best environment for your first permanent placement.

In line with UK legislation, we will auto-enrol our employees into a workplace pension scheme providing they meet the entry criteria.
As an employer, The Supply Register also contributes to the employee’s pension fund. Employees are free to opt out of the scheme once enrolled.
“The Supply Register is amazing. Efficient right from the very beginning. My Partnership Manager is really friendly, supportive, approachable and always available to help with any problem.

They have sent me into great schools that perfectly match the positions I was looking for. The Supply Register is encouraging, personal, friendly and professional. I couldn’t recommend them more.”
Leanne — Secondary TeacherDerby
"From my first contact with Tim at The Supply Register, I knew I was going to be in safe hands. He is always professional, thorough and at the end of the phone if I ever need any guidance or advice. I truly appreciate all the Tim has done for my career, he listens and will endeavour to match the right post to the right individual. I would definitely recommend Tim and The Supply Register to anybody thinking of doing any supply work."
Julie — Secondary TeacherHalton
"I found The Supply Register on an internet search and I was not sure about registering, but the Resourcing Partner was very friendly and explained clearly how The Supply Register worked and she helped me through each stage of the registration process. I had an interview with my Partnership Manager who was also really helpful, and I was signed up and ready to work after a day. I would definitely recommend The Supply Register to my friends."
John — Primary TeacherSheffield
"Signing up with Supply Register UK could not have been simpler: from the face-to-face interview to subsequent telephone conversations with the rest of the team, every aspect was clearly explained. Since registering, I have received work weekly and been paid promptly. I know that if I have any questions, I can call, text or email and receive an answer almost immediately. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any teachers wanting to take control of their work/life balance."
Laurey — Primary TeacherNottingham
"I began working with The Supply Register in October 2020. The initial registration process was clear, well-structured and efficient. My two contacts, Tim Howarth and Tom Gower, have been superb. They took time to listen to my work requirements and match them with available roles. I have had regular work at a nearby high school, which has fitted in perfectly with my availability. Tim has ensured my weekly timesheet is completed correctly, resulting in my pay being both accurate and paid in a timely manner. I have recently been unable to work due to an injury and was impressed with the way Tim kept in touch to check up on my progress and supported me on my return to work. I highly recommend working with the team at The Supply Register!"
Kathryn — Secondary TeacherMerseyside
"Joining The Supply Register was very easy and has been a really good experience for me. I was nervous about going into supply work after always having had a permanent position, but Pindi was very reassuring and encouraging. Their policies on pay are transparent and explained clearly when you sign up. They sign you up for a pension and pay you weekly on PAYE, unlike other companies. I have been in lots of different schools in the few weeks since I started and the amount of work available has been great. The schools themselves have also been good, with clear plans left for me each time. Pindi contacts me regularly to make sure things are going well and lets me know when she has feedback from a school, which is always nice to hear. I am very happy working with The Supply Register and have encouraged other teachers I know to sign up too!"
Robin — Primary TeacherStoke-on-Trent
"Having worked for several supply agencies in recent years I have been impressed with The Supply Register, like a fine wine they get even better with time. I am impressed with the quick responses to my concerns or queries. They've been really good in terms of accessibility outside of office hours which has been a godsend. They've sorted out long term placements and worked hard to ensure that I am on a decent pay scale. The consultants like Tim have been personable, approachable and have worked with schools to help ensure placements have round smoothly, communication has been very good with Tim and also with the accounts department when there has been issues with my tax code."
Sherlon — Secondary TeacherMerseyside
"I’ve really enjoyed working alongside the supply register this year. The staff have been extremely helpful and supportive during my first year of teaching. I’m very appreciative of the staff reporting the positive feedback that I receive from the trust schools as this helps build my confidence and I’m grateful to be able to build close relationships with a community of schools such as the Wade Deacon Trust and the Heath Trust. These schools have all been very welcoming and supportive from the start of my teaching career. The Supply Register are always timely when managing my bookings and are always looking for the best ways to keep me happy in my role and are always mindful of what I want for the future. "
Magan — Primary TeacherMerseyside
