Standby Education is a specialist education recruitment partner supporting schools across Derby, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Staffordshire.

Built on over 40 years of experience working closely with local schools, Standby was created to offer a more reliable, consistent and supportive approach to recruitment.

We work differently to traditional supply agencies. Rather than focusing on volume, we prioritise long term placements, strong relationships and a clear understanding of what each school needs. Our aim is to provide dependable staff who integrate into the school community and make a genuine impact.

We support Primary, Secondary and SEND settings, ensuring schools and educators receive consistent, knowledgeable support throughout.

We believe recruitment should feel like a partnership, not a transaction. Schools can rely on us to deliver what we promise, and educators can expect honest communication and meaningful opportunities.

Standby for schools.
Standby for educators.
Always ready to step in when it matters.
