Schools: secure your September recruitment through Inspire ATA

The end of the academic year is just over a month away and schools are preparing to say goodbye to their pupils and looking ahead to September. This final term is prime time for recruitment across the education sector.

In this article Inspire ATA will present solutions to help schools and MATs better prepare for the busiest recruitment period of the year and have a successful September.

Inspire ATA Staffing Solutions for Schools

Inspire ATA recruit and hire through the flexi-job apprenticeship model through which Inspire ATA acts as the employer of the apprentice and your organisation hosts them. This approach allows you to grow your team with minimal risk, reduced admin and minimal impact to your headcount or budget.

Our experienced team is here to support you and your apprentices every step of the way developing talent, building skills, and helping your business thrive.

Term-time recruitment

While with traditional apprenticeship recruitments employers must hire the apprentice for the full duration of their programme, the flexi-job apprenticeship model allows employers to hire apprentices for short-term engagements (minimum 3 months). This is because your school is not considered the employer, but Inspire ATA is.

This means that your organisation benefits from full flexibility in the employment, allowing you to recruit according to your needs or only for term time if required.
