Chalk: Your Partner in Education Staffing Excellence 

Established in 2020, Chalk has gone from strength to strength, carving out a name as the go-to specialist education agency. Our vision? To be the very best, delivering tailored staffing solutions to schools and education provisions across the UK. 

We understand that every pupil, school, and educational setting is one of a kind. That’s why we’re all about crafting personal solutions that work for you. Whether you’re a school or a candidate, we’re here to listen to your needs, understand your unique challenges, and deliver results that matter. At the heart of it all, our drive is you, and our direction is always forward. 

With over 250 years of combined recruitment and education experience within the team, it’s safe to say we know what we’re doing when it comes to finding schools the best support staff and teachers. We specialize in recruiting SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) staff for mainstream schools, special needs schools, and alternative provisions. From short-term cover to long-term and permanent placements, we’ve got you covered. But let’s be clear—it’s not just about filling roles. It’s about making an impact. 

Chalk was created during the pandemic with a vision to do something different. Born out of first hand experience with other agencies that often failed to prioritize pupils or support their own teams, Chalk set out to break the mould. This commitment to putting people first—both students and staff—has attracted an amazing team of passionate and dedicated professionals who share our vision. Many of the Chalk crew are parents, and for the first time ever, they can drop off and pick up their kids from school, seamlessly balancing work and personal life. This flexibility and understanding of what truly matters is part of what makes Chalk stand out as an agency built on trust, care, and a genuine passion for making a difference. 

At Chalk, we’re not just professionals—we’re people who care deeply about what we do. We believe in being personable and professional in equal measure, creating a partnership that’s as enjoyable as it is effective. One size does not fit all, and we’ll never treat you like just another number. 

Transparency, commitment, and drive are in our DNA. No fluff, no jargon, no nonsense. If you’re looking for a fresh, honest approach to education staffing, let Chalk show you what we’re all about. We’re here to earn your trust and make a real difference—together.
