CCS Supply Teachers Framework
Using the framework
Schools can use the CCS framework to recruit a wide range of teaching and non-teaching staff. Hiring on CCS terms allows schools to save money on meeting their temporary recruitment needs, while remaining assured that the best practices in safeguarding and compliance are met. Book a consultation call with our fully trained CCS team to get the framework working for you.
Feeling lost?
We’ve broken down the CCS framework into 5 simple chapters, covering everything from the types of roles you can fill using the framework, to accessing the online selection tool. We call it the CCS Handbook, and you can download it for free, right here.
Supply
The CCS framework allows schools to find the best possible price to fill temporary and fixed-term roles quickly and easily. When you use the deal, you know that the agency you are working with has been checked against the highest standards of compliance, taking the pressure off you to meet the requirements for procurement legislature.
Permanent
When you recruit temporary staff using the CCS supply teachers deal, you can avoid costly temp-to-perm fees if you decide to take the worker on as a permanent member of staff. Once the worker has been at your school for 12 weeks or more, you can transfer them to a permanent role for no extra cost – you just need to give 4 weeks notice.
Nominated worker
If you know a worker you would like to hire temporarily, but want to hire them on CCS terms, you can refer them to a CCS supplier in order to do this. This is referred to as a nominated worker, and gives you peace of mind that pay and background screening checks have been taken care of.

How do you transfer a temporary worker to a permanent employee contract without incurring any extra costs?
As long as you give a minimum of 4 weeks’ notice and the worker has completed at least 12 weeks of work on CCS terms, then transferring them to a permanent contract is free of charge.
-
How do I check if one of my preferred agencies is on the deal?
There are 120 suppliers on the deal, which means they have been audited and accredited to the CCS’ best practice standards in education recruitment. With national coverage, you’ll be able to find a local office nearby. (At Engage, we have national coverage, with numerous offices around the country!)
-
Did you know it may cost you even less than the mark-up shown on the CCS selection tool?
Depending on your needs we may be able to offer you a lower, bespoke agreement than the amount shown on the selection tool. The mark-up shown is the maximum amount we will charge you.
-
When does an agency named on the framework need to offer me CCS terms?
All suppliers on the agreement are obliged to tell you that they are part of the deal and offer you CCS terms. If you’re not sure if the agency you work with is on the deal, ask them!
-
What if I know of a worker I want to hire through an agency?
If you know a worker who isn’t signed up with an agency on the agreement, and you want to hire them temporarily on CCS terms, you can tell the agency that you would like to hire them as a nominated worker. Once the worker has signed up to us, you will benefit from the peace of mind that their pay and background checks have been taken care of. If you want to, you’ll be able to take them on permanently without any extra fees after 12 weeks of work.
-
Is the agreement just for teachers?
The deal isn't just for hiring teachers. In fact, most roles that a school will need to fill are covered by the CCS deal, including cleaners, teaching assistants, clerical staff, administrative workers, maintenance staff, and more.
