At Teaching Personnel, we work with Catholic schools and multi-academy trusts to recruit educators who share your values, understand your mission, and are committed to making a difference.
From senior leaders to subject specialists and support staff, we connect you with experienced, fully vetted candidates who are passionate about Catholic education and the communities they serve.
We're part of the Catholic Schools Partnership
Working with partners such as Thrive, Best Practice Network and Judicium, this dedicated partnership focuses on equipping Catholic schools with the right people, training, and HR support to flourish.
How can we help?
Catholic Future Teachers Programme
Our Future Teachers Programme helps Catholic schools to connect with graduates from universities who are beginning their journey into teaching. These aspiring educators bring enthusiasm, potential, and a shared understanding of Catholic values.
What’s included:
Direct access to graduates from universities
Opportunities to offer mentoring or school placements
A long-term approach to building your future workforce
Religious Education (RE) Teacher Recruitment
Religious Education (RE) sits at the centre of every Catholic school’s identity. We work with your school to find dedicated RE teachers who are passionate about faith and confident in leading meaningful classroom discussions.
Our RE recruitment includes:
RE specialists who share and uphold Catholic values
Teachers experienced in delivering RE across key stages
Candidates with CCRS or Catholic Orientation Training
Catholic CPD for Educators
Our Catholic Ethos course through our CPD Academy supports teachers in delivering academic excellence rooted in the values of Catholic education. It’s designed for schools that want to expand their recruitment pool while protecting what makes them distinctive.
How this CPD helps your school:
Delivers teaching of a deeper understanding of Catholic ethos for non-Catholic staff
Provides your school with a broader pool of teachers confident to work in Catholic settings

I write on behalf of the Archdiocese of Liverpool to express our appreciation and support for the excellent service our schools have received from Teaching Personnel throughout our four years of partnership. Teaching Personnel has been excellent in providing candidates to support schools in a number of different areas, including both short and longer-term supply cover as well as SEN support and tuition services for pupils.
Tim Warren, Diocesan Director of Schools and Colleges - Archdiocese of Liverpool
Over the last couple of years we have built an excellent working partnership with Teaching Personnel. The quality of staff employed via the agency has been an extremely positive experience. Staff have demonstrated the highest standards of professionalism and have fully supported our whole-school ethos linked to learning and teaching, behaviour management and the wider Catholic community.
Mrs McCour - Head of School - St Julie's Catholic High School
We have used Teaching Personnel for over 10 years now, we have found their service reliable with good quality candidates. They are easy to contact both via email and telephone, from as early as 6:45 am to as late as 6:30 pm. We have used their service for everything from teaching staff to Learning Support Assistants and evening tutors for our more vulnerable students. This service has had a huge impact on the running of our school as without their support most days we would really struggle to support our students to learn.

I write on behalf of the Diocese of Middlesbrough to express our appreciation and support for the excellent service Teaching Personnel are providing to our schools. Our schools speak very positively of the staff you have supplied to them over many years, and the satisfaction ratings are exceptionally high. One aspect of your support we find extremely helpful is the regular SupplyMaps data reports you provide.
Mr Duffy, Diocesan Director - Diocese of Middlesbrough
St. Joseph’s RC High School has worked with Teaching Personnel for the past 4 years and has found them to be first-class. Our key recruitment contacts have an excellent understanding of our Catholic Ethos and the type of high-quality staff we require. Their communication and support have been outstanding, and we have no hesitation in recommending them to other Catholic Schools. A number of staff supplied by the agency on long-term placements are now on direct contracts at the school, which is a testament to the agency's understanding of the type of temporary staff best placed to meet our needs. The transition from long-term temporary via the agency to permanent at the school, in appropriate circumstances, has been an easy one.
