Teach Match Recruitment is officially an approved supplier on the Government Commercial Agency’s (GCA) Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework (RM6376).
And yes, we’re pretty excited about it.
So, What Does That Actually Mean?
If you work in a school, academy or trust, you may have already heard about the new GCA Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework.
The framework provides schools and education settings with an approved route for sourcing temporary, fixed-term and permanent education staff through recruitment agencies.
And Teach Match is proud to be one of the approved suppliers.
We’ve been awarded a place on Lot 1 – Teachers and Education Recruitment, covering a wide range of education staffing requirements.
So whether you need a brilliant teacher to step into a classroom tomorrow morning, additional support for a longer-term placement, or help finding your next permanent member of staff, we’re here to help.
Set Healthy Professional Boundaries
Your role matters, but so does your time outside school. Try to avoid checking emails late at night or taking work home every evening. Setting clear boundaries helps prevent burnout and supports long-term well being. Switching off isn’t a weakness; it’s essential for sustainability in education.
Why Is This Important?
Recruitment in education isn’t always straightforward.
One day you might be fully staffed. The next, you could have two teachers off sick, a vacancy you weren’t expecting and a timetable that suddenly needs solving.
We get it.
That’s why we’ve always believed recruitment should be about more than simply sending a CV and hoping for the best.
It’s about understanding your school, your pupils, your staff and what you actually need.
And, of course, making sure the people we introduce are properly vetted and compliant.
A New Framework. The Same Teach Match Approach.
Being on the GCA framework is a big milestone for us, but our approach isn’t changing.
Get to Know Your School
We want to understand what makes your setting different and what you’re looking for.
Care About Candidate Quality
We’re not interested in filling a vacancy with just anyone. We’re looking for the right match.
Put Safeguarding First
Compliance isn’t something we see as a tick-box exercise. It is a fundamental part of what we do.
Pick Up the Phone
Because sometimes you just need to speak to an actual person who understands what you need!
Work With You, Not Just For You
We want to build long-term relationships with schools and trusts, not simply make a placement and disappear.
What’s Covered?
Through our place on Lot 1, Teach Match can support schools and education settings with a range of teaching and education recruitment requirements, including:
- Teachers
- Teaching Assistants & Education Support
- SEN specialists
- Cover Supervisors
- Senior Leaders
- Permanent and fixed-term education recruitment
Whatever the staffing challenge, we’re ready to help.
And for Schools and Trusts…
The GCA framework provides an established procurement route for education recruitment, giving schools access to approved suppliers and agreed framework terms.
For academy trusts in particular, the framework is an important part of the way supply staffing is procured from September 2026.
Which means that if you’re looking for an education recruitment partner, now is a great time to get to know Teach Match.
We’re Ready for the Next Chapter
Getting onto the GCA framework is something we’re genuinely proud of.
It reflects the work our team puts into recruitment, compliance and safeguarding every day — and it gives us another opportunity to support even more schools and education settings across the UK.
So, if you’re a school or trust looking for your next recruitment partner…
Let’s talk.
Whether you need someone for tomorrow, next term or you’re planning ahead for the year, our team would love to hear from you.
