What is a Managed Service Partnership?
How it works
Your temporary staffing requests are all routed through one expert account management team. Every candidate, regardless of role, goes through the same thorough vetting process. Every booking is tracked. Every invoice is consolidated.
Behind the scenes, our School Portal+ platform gives you real-time access to spend data, fill rates, and compliance records - by school, by role, by reason for cover - so your leaders have the information they need to make confident, strategic decisions, not just operational ones.
