If you're a school, academy or multi-academy trust looking for supply teachers and support staff, compliance has never been more important.
As an approved supplier on the Government Commercial Agency (GCA) Supply Teachers Framework, Opus Teach, Opus People Solutions' dedicated supply teaching agency, gives schools and trusts access to a recruitment partner that meets the framework's requirements around safeguarding, compliance and recruitment processes.
But choosing a recruitment partner isn't just about compliance.
It's about finding a provider that understands education, responds quickly when you need support and consistently delivers high-quality candidates.
A GCA-Compliant Supplier You Can Trust
The GCA framework sets clear expectations around recruitment standards, safeguarding and compliance. Framework suppliers are required to meet these standards and are subject to ongoing audit and monitoring.
For schools and trusts, that provides reassurance that they are working with a supplier committed to robust recruitment practices.
With Opus Teach, compliance isn't an add-on. It's embedded throughout our recruitment process.
