Education supply agency in Wirral
A school supply agency for the whole Wirral peninsula, from Birkenhead and Wallasey to Heswall, West Kirby and Hoylake.
GAC Education is an education supply agency for primary, secondary and special schools on the Wirral. We supply teachers, SEN teachers, teaching assistants, HLTAs and cover supervisors for day to day cover, long term assignments and permanent posts. Wirral schools are looked after by our Merseyside and Cheshire desk on 0151 404 9965, or you can email office@gac.education.
The Wirral is one of our North West areas, alongside Liverpool, Chester, Warrington and the rest of Cheshire and Merseyside. Our Yorkshire desk on 0113 460 1938 looks after Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, Wakefield and Hull, so a trust with schools in both regions can work with one agency.

Supply agencies in Wirral
If you are comparing supply agencies in Wirral, start with who answers first thing in the morning and whether they know the peninsula. Wirral schools book with the Merseyside and Cheshire desk on 0151 404 9965. Tell us the phase, the dates, the subject or support need, and which part of the Wirral the school is on. Birkenhead and Wallasey are a different morning journey from Heswall or West Kirby, even with the M53 between them, so we look for people who can reach you for the start of the day.
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 Wirral schools book supply staff
Call or email

Give us the brief
Phase, year group or subject, any SEN or behaviour needs, and the time the day starts.

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.
Supply cover across the Wirral peninsula
The north of the peninsula takes in Wallasey, New Brighton, Liscard, Seacombe, Moreton and Leasowe. The Kingsway Tunnel links Wallasey with the north of Liverpool, which matters when a candidate lives across the river.
The middle of the Wirral is Birkenhead, Oxton, Prenton, Tranmere and Rock Ferry, with Upton, Greasby and Woodchurch inland. The Queensway Tunnel runs from Birkenhead into Liverpool city centre.
The south and west take in Bebington, Bromborough, Eastham and Port Sunlight, then Heswall, Pensby, Irby, West Kirby and Hoylake on the Dee side. Neston and Ellesmere Port fall under Cheshire West and Chester, so they sit on our Chester page. Every Wirral school calls the same number: 0151 404 9965.
School phases and settings on the Wirral
Wirral schools range from nursery and primary through to secondary schools with sixth forms, special schools and resourced provision. A booking might be reception in Wallasey, key stage 2 in Heswall, a science lesson in Birkenhead or a one to one teaching assistant for a pupil with an EHCP in Bebington. Roles include supply teachers, teaching assistants, cover supervisors and SEN staff. 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 someone to stay, our permanent recruitment service handles the search. All three go through one desk, so the school only explains its setting once.
Part of our North West and Yorkshire coverage
The Wirral sits within our North West patch, with pages for Liverpool, Chester, Warrington, Cheshire and Merseyside. In Yorkshire we cover Leeds, Bradford and the rest of West Yorkshire on 0113 460 1938. 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.
