Work with a CCS-Approved Supplier
The Department for Education (DfE) is backing a Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Supply Teachers Framework to promote fair, cost-effective, and compliant recruitment in education. This increases your chances of securing regular and reliable work—and even a permanent teaching role in the future.
How Does Working with a CCS Supplier Help You Get More Work?
Although schools are not yet required to hire exclusively through the CCS framework, the DfE is encouraging more schools to adopt this cost-saving, government-approved approach to recruitment. As a result, supply staff who are not registered with a CCS supplier may receive fewer job offers over time.
By working with a CCS-registered education agency, you benefit from:
✔ More supply work opportunities in schools using the framework
✔ Increased chances of securing a permanent role
✔ Guaranteed compliance with all safeguarding regulations
While the framework helps schools reduce recruitment costs, it does not affect your pay rates—so you won’t earn less when working with a CCS-approved recruitment agency.
Who can work in a school on CCS terms?
Whether you work in the classroom, back-office, or support staff roles, the CCS framework ensures schools can hire fully vetted, compliant staff with confidence.
Permanent roles with the CCS framework
When you work with a school through an agency who is listed as a CCS preferred supplier, you are more likely to be offered a permanent role, even though the framework only specifically covers temporary staff. This is because workers hired through the CCS framework can be hired permanently by the school more cost-effectively, and schools can be confident that the worker has already passed all the necessary safeguarding and legislative checks.
If you’re looking for supply teaching jobs or permanent roles in UK schools, registering with a CCS-approved supplier like Engage Education ensures you’re in the best position for success.
