Education staffing software
Isimio is an education staffing software suite for supply teaching agencies and education recruiters. It covers teachers, teaching assistants and support staff, from application and safeguarding checks to same-day booking, long-term placements, timesheets and invoicing.
Every morning in a supply teaching agency is a race. Schools need same-day cover and they'll call whoever picks up first. Isimio is built for that pace: find a compliant, available, nearby teacher in seconds, place with confidence, and move on to the next call.

Shift Scheduling
Quick-create templates for education let you instantly create and match candidates for morning, afternoon, or day bookings, while still allowing for custom times when needed.
Candidate Matching
Find the perfect candidate with fully up-to-date compliance documents. Isimio can match candidates by travel time, so no child has to wait.
Safeguarding Forms
Isimio creates branded safeguarding forms that are automatically sent upon placement. Your recruiters can move on to the next job without worrying about admin.
Multiple Placements
Mix long and short-term placements across different schools. Isimio performs per-day checks for availability and compliance to help you get the most out of your candidates.
Checked before the booking is confirmed
Every shift goes through the compliance engine as it is booked, not in an audit three months later. Rules can be set per client, site and role.
- ✓DBS and certificate expiry
- ✓Per-day availability
- ✓Overlapping bookings
- ✓School-specific requirements
- ✓Do-not-return lists
- ✓Working time regulations

Questions we get asked
Can Isimio send schools the safeguarding details for each teacher?
Yes. Isimio generates a branded safeguarding form and sends it to the school automatically when a placement is made, so recruiters don't have to.
Does it handle long-term placements as well as day-to-day supply?
Yes. Long and short-term placements can be mixed across different schools. Availability and compliance are checked per day, so a teacher on a term-long placement at one school can still pick up odd days elsewhere without double booking.
Can schools book cover themselves?
Yes, through a client portal where schools submit requests, approve timesheets and view invoices. Our latest portals include an AI booking agent that handles a request from understanding the requirement through to confirming the right person.
