Build up your school’s Teaching Assistant team ahead of September

There are only a few weeks left in the current academic year and now is the best time to review your school’s staffing strategy for the coming year. Inspire ATA can help your organisation to recruit and employ support staff in a cost-effective and efficient manner, ready for September.

The difficulties in hiring support staff

Schools report that hiring support staff has become increasingly difficult in recent years. Retention of Teaching Assistants (TAs) is also a struggle as many TAs are leaving the sector. One way to encourage more TAs to enter and stay in the sector is by investing in their growth through training and support. 

How Inspire ATA helps school overcome TA hiring challenges

Inspire ATA helps schools to recruit motivated TAs on an apprenticeship programme. The TAs receive valuable training that helps them to develop in the field benefiting your school and their career. The training is done off-term time, allowing your school to benefit from an apprentice working 5 days a week without missing work time for studying as often seen with apprenticeships. 

The Inspire ATA cost effective solution 

Inspire ATA charge a flat rate for the recruitment, hosting and training of your apprentice, making it more cost effective than traditional recruitment agencies. This fee allows you to hire support staff off payroll and without impacting your headcount. Once your apprentices finish their apprenticeship you have the option to keep them on full time without any additional costs! 

Inspire ATA’s recruitment service 

Inspire ATA’s recruitment specialists will advertise your role for you and screen and shortlist only the best candidates for you to review and interview. The Inspire account managers provide you with support throughout the recruitment process and the employment of the apprentice.  

Apprentice replacement support 

While Inspire ATA works to ensure minimal risk in our recruitment, sometimes things don’t work out. 

If there are any issues with your apprentice, Inspire ATA will take the responsibility of finding you a replacement and finding the apprentice a new placement, making the process risk and hassle free for your organisation.
