We work across Early Years, primary, secondary, SEND, SEMH, PRUs and alternative provision, supporting schools with staff who understand routines, behaviour, regulation and the importance of stable, trusting relationships.
We are a purpose-driven organisation, committed not only to staffing classrooms, but to making a positive social and community impact alongside the schools, families and communities we serve across the city.
Supporting Schools Across Derby and Derbyshire
Why schools work with Milk Education
Schools work with Milk because staffing decisions affect far more than short-term cover.
Across Derby and Derbyshire, we support:
- Early Years settings and nurseries
- Primary and secondary schools
- SEND schools and specialist provisions
- SEMH settings, PRUs and alternative provision
Our approach recognises that recruitment, safeguarding, behaviour, wellbeing and school culture are closely connected — and must be considered together.
We take time to understand each school’s context, community, pupil needs and staffing pressures before placing educators.
