Education supply agency in Bradford
A school supply agency for the Bradford district, from the city and Shipley out to Keighley, Ilkley and Queensbury.
GAC Education is an education supply agency for primary, secondary and special schools in Bradford. As a teaching agency in Bradford, we supply teachers, SEN teachers, teaching assistants, HLTAs and cover supervisors for day to day cover, long term assignments and permanent posts. Bradford schools are looked after by our Yorkshire desk on 0113 460 1938, or you can email office@gac.education.
Bradford is one of our Yorkshire areas, alongside Leeds, Halifax, Huddersfield, Wakefield and Hull. Our Merseyside and Cheshire desk on 0151 404 9965 looks after Liverpool, the Wirral, Chester, Warrington and the rest of Cheshire and Merseyside, so a trust with schools in both regions can work with one agency.
Schools that also need staff in Leeds or across the Five Towns can read about our education supply agency in Leeds and our supply teaching agency in Wakefield.
Supply agencies in Bradford
If you are comparing supply agencies in Bradford, start with who answers first thing in the morning and whether they know the district. Bradford schools book with the Yorkshire desk on 0113 460 1938. Tell us the phase, the dates, the subject or support need, and which part of Bradford the school is in. Manningham and Little Horton are a different morning journey from Queensbury, Tong, Keighley or Ilkley, so we look for people who can reach you for the start of the day.
A school that asks for a supply teacher agency in Bradford usually needs a class teacher who can plan and teach, not only supervise a lesson. As a school supply agency we cover supply teachers, SEN teachers, teaching assistants, HLTAs and cover supervisors. Settings include nursery and primary schools, secondary schools and sixth forms, special schools, resourced provision and alternative provision. Candidates are put forward only after checks in line with Keeping children safe in education 2026, including an enhanced DBS check, identity and right to work, qualifications and the teacher prohibition check.

How Bradford schools book supply staff
Call or email
Ring 0113 460 1938 or email office@gac.education with the role, the dates and where the school is.
Give us the brief
Phase, year group or subject, any SEN or behaviour needs, and the time the day starts.
Candidate confirmed
We tell you who is coming and confirm their checks are complete before the first day.
Review the booking
We talk to the school and the candidate afterwards, so the next booking is a better match.
Neighbourhoods and towns in the Bradford district
City schools sit in Manningham, Heaton, Frizinghall, Barkerend, Bowling, Little Horton, Great Horton, Buttershaw and Wibsey. Eccleshill is north east, Thornton is west, and Queensbury and Tong sit on the edges of the district.
Along the Aire, Shipley, Saltaire, Bingley and Keighley take in a run of primary and secondary schools, with Baildon, Silsden and Haworth nearby. Ilkley and Burley in Wharfedale are further up the valley. Every Bradford district school calls the same number: 0113 460 1938.
School phases and settings in Bradford
Bradford schools range from nursery and primary through to secondary schools with sixth forms, special schools and resourced provision. A booking might be reception in Shipley, key stage 2 in Keighley, a science lesson in Manningham or a one to one teaching assistant for a pupil with an EHCP in Queensbury. Roles include supply teachers, teaching assistants, cover supervisors and SEN staff. The same desk is a teaching assistant agency in Bradford for classroom support, an HLTA or one to one work, and a cover supervisor agency in Bradford when a secondary lesson needs supervising. Tell us when the need is SEN, SEMH or behaviour support, because that is a different brief from general cover.
Day to day, long term and permanent
Day to day supply covers sickness, training days and short notice gaps. Long term supply holds a class through maternity leave or while a post is advertised, and the same teacher can stay with the class for the whole assignment. When a school wants an education recruitment agency in Bradford for a permanent appointment, our permanent recruitment service handles the search. All three go through one desk, so the school only explains its setting once.
Part of our Yorkshire and North West coverage
Bradford sits within our Yorkshire patch, with pages for Leeds, Huddersfield, Halifax, Wakefield and West Yorkshire. In the North West we cover Liverpool, the Wirral and Chester on 0151 404 9965. Schools can also book us through the GCA framework RM6376, Lot 1, where we are an approved subcontractor through MAT Recruitment, or directly with the desk.

How should a Bradford school describe the journey?
Name the place. Manningham or Little Horton is not the same journey as Queensbury, Tong, Keighley or Ilkley. The desk matches travel as well as the role.
Can a Bradford school book day to day and long term supply with the same agency?
Yes. Day to day cover, long term assignments and permanent recruitment all go through the same Yorkshire desk on 0113 460 1938, so the school does not have to brief a new team each time.
Are you an education recruitment agency for Bradford schools?
Yes. Permanent posts are recruited by the same Yorkshire desk that books supply, on 0113 460 1938 or office@gac.education. The school does not need a second agency for a lasting appointment.
