Launched in 1997 in the US KES has quickly become a leader in its field with a real commitment to quality and innovation.
Why should a supply teacher use KES to find work?
Through our national network of schools we are able to find the type and amount of work teachers want. KES can offer a wide range of assignments in many different types of schools thereby offering a variety of experiences and learning environments. Assignments are also very varied and include short term, long term and permanent posts. KES pays all teachers to scale and offers a range of benefits including access to its stakeholder pension, a recognition and reward scheme as well as access to teaching resources, free training and pastoral support.
How much are KES supply teachers paid?
All our teachers are paid to scale throughout the UK including threshold payments where appropriate.

Registering with KES is completely free.
Can teachers take other jobs with Kelly Services while working with KES?
Yes, Kelly Services is one of the UK’s leading recruitment companies with branches across the UK placing people in work right across the commercial and industrial sectors. During holiday time teachers can earn extra money by taking non-teaching jobs and improve their non-teaching skills.

What qualifications do KES supply teachers need?
KES supply teachers need recognised teaching qualifications (QTS), such as PGCE or B ed. Teachers with qualifications from overseas will have their qualification verified by UK NARIC by Kelly.
What do you offer that is different or better to your competitors ?
KES has a more ‘teacher friendly’ approach to supply teaching. Employing the latest communications technology, Kelly has revolutionised the way in which traditional supply agencies work by providing a high-tech, teacher focused approach to absence management. Kelly also provide a 24hr service for both teachers and schools ensuring our clients receive an unparalleled service 24hrs a day seven days per week.
Can supply teachers apply online?
Yes, they can send through their details to us but we do insist on a face to face interview held at a local branch with a trained education consultant before we can take a teachers application further.
How long is a typical supply teacher assignment?
There is no such thing as a typical assignment as a supply teacher with KES. Assignments can vary in length from only half-a-day to one school year and beyond.
Do you have links with Teacher Associations? KES is keen to develop links further with recognised bodies and Local Education Authorities. We believe that by paying our teachers the best rates possible we are promoting the professional status of all our teachers. KES has been awarded the Department for Education and Skills’ (DFES) 'Quality Mark' for supply teaching services.
