Supporting Schools with Reliable, Cost-Effective Staffing Solutions

Home » schools

At Mana Education, we don’t just supply staff — we support schools.

We work in partnership with primary schools, secondary schools, academies and multi-academy trusts to provide high-quality teaching and support staff, quickly, compliantly and at a fair price whilst paying educators fairly.

Whether you need:

  • A teacher tomorrow morning

  • Long-term cover

  • Permanent recruitment support

  • SEN specialists

  • Or a trusted preferred supplier

   ... we are here to help.


Why schools work with Mana Education

Schools are under increasing pressure — staffing shortages, budget constraints and compliance requirements all make recruitment more challenging than ever.

That’s where we come in.

✅ Fast access to quality staff

We have an established network of pre-vetted teachers and support staff, meaning we can respond quickly — even at short notice. Agencies play a key role in helping schools fill gaps efficiently and keep lessons running without disruption.

✅ Save time and reduce workload

Recruitment can be time-consuming. We manage:

  • Advertising

  • Screening

  • Safeguarding checks

  • Shortlisting

So your leadership team can focus on running the school.

✅ Access to a wider talent pool

We connect you with candidates you won’t find on job boards — including passive candidates who are open to the right opportunity.

✅ Flexible staffing solutions

From daily supply to permanent appointments, we tailor our service to your needs.

✅ Transparent, fair pricing

We understand the scrutiny around agency costs — and we actively work with schools to provide clear, competitive and sustainable pricing.
