Candidates – Are You Looking For Work?
The ONLY not-for-profit supply agency
who truly puts our candidates first.
Candidate Journey
As a business, we’re owned by schools and not by commercial stakeholders. As such, we’re delighted to put our surplus or profit into ensuring our candidates receive the highest level of pay.
Our philosophy is built on doing business transparently, with the interests of our education staff at the heart of our decisions. With this, we aim to give teachers rates of pay which fall in line with the teaching pay scales. For support staff, with guidance from education unions, we aim to provide a fair and transparent rate of pay that reflects the current market.
We also understand those on daily supply worry about long-term implications of not having a permanent job, one of those implications being their pension. We’re pleased to offer an enhanced employer contribution to safeguard your future.
