The Essex Education Framework - Working for Essex

We don’t just save money and increase efficiency.
We improve lives

Coming soon! The Essex Education Framework

Over the last 12 months, Covid has given us the chance to take a step back and look at the ways in which our Recruitment Team can support the Essex community.

We have identified that there is a high demand on Essex schools relying on agencies to supply staff, with the latest data showing that Essex schools utilise 30 separate recruitment agencies operating at various charge rates. We aim to bring these different sources into one place, making it easily accessible and consistent for every school to access temporary staff by introducing The Essex Education Framework.

In partnership with Matrix SCM, this service will be available in January 2023.

How to use our service?

You don’t need to change anything that you are currently doing. Let us know about your placement and we will make sure you can access our preferential rates straight away.

We can also help with:

  • Recruitment Support – finding the right candidates for your vacancies.
