Supply Desk unveils new Learning Hub, exclusively for our registered educators!

We’re very excited to launch our new Learning Hub, which is available exclusively to our talented educators registered with Supply Desk.

The Learning Hub aims to enhance the continuous professional development (CPD) opportunities available to our educators, providing flexible 24/7 access to training and resources, to support staff in their roles both personally and professionally.

Launched on 13 February 2025, the Learning Hub has been shaped by feedback received from Supply Desk candidates alongside the wider education community. This ensures that our courses, training and resources cover the topics that matter most to our staff, and the Hub will be continuously updated to reflect new requests and needs.

Examples of courses within our Learning Hub include Autism Awareness and Understanding, Adaptive Teaching and Scaffolding and Cover Supervisor Training. Many of our courses feature end-of-course quizzes, allowing educators to test their knowledge, review any areas for improvement and receive certification.

Whilst our CPD hub is fully online to ensure easy and flexible access for our educators, we do also host in-person workshops and live webinars throughout the year on a variety of topics, from behaviour management support to educator wellbeing – visit our events page to discover our upcoming offerings.

Garry Clarke, Managing Director at Supply Desk, said: “We have always prided ourselves on going above and beyond for our educators. Our new Learning Hub is just one of the many ways we aim to support and empower our teaching and support staff throughout their careers.

“Very often, supply educators are excluded from CPD opportunities that permanent school staff receive, or they find that training is not fully relevant to the unique challenges of supply work. We therefore chose to invest in our Learning Hub to help ensure that supply staff are not only well-equipped for the classroom but also positioned for long-term career success.”

All registered educators have been invited to access the new Learning Hub, and the Learning Hub will be a key part of the onboarding of new candidates moving forward. If you aren’t already registered with Supply Desk, you can register here today, and will receive access to our exclusive courses and resources upon clearance of your registration.
