Opportunity overview

The contract will be for the provision of supply agency services for all schools belonging to the Trust.

It is the Trust's expectation that the Provider shall be responsible for the operation of the supply agency function including: a. Availability of agency workers that have the required levels of competence and experience to cover the booking requests. b. Best Value for money. c. Comprehensive management information and reporting. d. High levels of school satisfaction. e. Consistently high-performance levels which meet or exceed KPI requirements. f. Consolidated invoicing weekly/ monthly as required. g. Expert advice on any legislative requirements related to Agency Workers. The provision of supply agency services is to be delivered at all 20 schools under the Trust.
