Helping schools reduce agency spend. Finally!

It’s no secret that schools across the UK rely heavily on recruitment agencies. In fact the last reported figures show that schools spent north of £485,000,000 in a single year with agencies.

The School Initiative wants to help change that. Our initiative focuses on helping schools with recruitment & staffing by increasing their networks (locally & internationally), providing training to schools, improving visibility of job adverts by advertising directly to teachers and helping schools with creating their own banks of staff.

With over 20 years of combined recruitment experience, an extensive database of teachers & live data on who is open to work; The School Initiative can help you reduce your agency spend!
