We're Government Approved for Supply Teachers UK Wide

At Aquinas Education, we have made our name finding the very best supply teachers and working with our school partners to create the perfect fit between your requirements and the skills and experience of our teachers.

There are Supply Teachers and there are Aquinas Education Supply Teachers.

We're therefore very proud to announce that we have just been appointed by Crown Commercial Services (CCS) as a supplier on the RM6238 Supply Teachers and Temporary Staffing agreement (STaTS).

What this means is that we have been thoroughly vetted for quality, systems and our staff and the worry of having to appoint supply staff yourself is removed.

What is Crown Commercial Services (CCS)?

CCS plays a vital role in helping the UK public sector save money when buying common goods and services.

They are the biggest public procurement organisation in the UK and use their commercial expertise to help buyers in central government and across the public and third sectors to purchase everything from locum doctors, laptops and teachers.

The collective purchasing power of their customers, plus their procurement knowledge, means you can be assured of the best commercial deals available anywhere in the market.

What the agreement covers

This agreement applies to the appointment of Supply Teachers and Temporary Staff in Educational Establishments

It has been created to improve the recruitment of temporary and fixed-term teachers and non-teaching staff for UK schools, colleges and education establishments. The agreement can be used to recruit all temporary and fixed-term teaching and non-teaching staff.

It applies to all of the following establishments:

• Schools
• Colleges
• Academies
• Trusts
• Nurseries
• Pupil referral units
• Children centres
• Further education institutions.
• It is not available to independent (for-profit) schools but is available to charities/non-profit schools.

The agreement is sponsored by the Department for Education.

Using this agreement, you can recruit all roles in the education sector, including:

• Qualified teachers: Special Education Needs (SEN & Non SEN)
• Unqualified teachers: SEN & Non SEN
• Educational support staff e.g. cover supervisors and teaching assistants
• Headteachers
• Senior leaders
• Administrative, IT, finance, estates and maintenance, cleaning staff and more.
• The temporary workers available are screened to Keeping Children Safe in Education standards.

Added protection for temp to perm fees

Unusually, you can also transfer temporary workers hired through this agreement to permanent employment at your organisation. There’s no finder’s fee if the worker has been in their post at least 12 weeks and you give the supplier 4 weeks’ notice. We've always believed this is the fairest way to operate, but now it's official operational practice.

Fixed Term Appointments

You can also use the agreement to hire employees on fixed-term appointments. They will be paid via your payroll but have a fixed end date to their employment.
