Simplify Supply Teachers with Supply Pool

The teacher supply crisis in the UK is a complex issue, and it’s not just about recruitment. While the focus has often been on filling vacancies, it’s just as critical to retain the teachers we already have. With trainee numbers down by 24% since 2019, it’s clear that the current system isn’t sustainable. Schools are spending more of their budget on supply staffing than ever before, yet the problem persists. The system is in dire need of a new approach—one that offers efficiency, control, and fairness for both schools and supply staff. Enter rTriibe’s Supply Pool.

Teacher supply

In the aftermath of the pandemic, the UK labour market has remained surprisingly robust. Despite challenges such as high interest rates and cost-of-living pressures, job vacancies have continued to rise, making recruitment into the teaching profession more challenging than ever. During the pandemic, when economic uncertainty drove many to consider teaching, schools saw a surge in teacher training applicants. However, the situation has changed dramatically in the post-pandemic world.

Now, schools and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) in England find themselves allocating more budget to supply staffing, only to face ongoing shortages. With no cohesive national strategy to support this critical part of the workforce, the need for a new solution is clear. That’s where rTriibe’s Supply Pool comes in, offering schools a streamlined, cost-effective way to manage their supply needs.

What is rTriibe’s Supply Pool?

rTriibe’s Supply Pool is a game-changing platform designed to help schools and MATs manage their supply staffing efficiently and independently. It allows schools to build their own pool of supply staff, providing a direct and cost-effective way to manage bookings without the need for expensive third-party agencies. By loading and booking your own candidates, you retain complete control over your supply needs, reduce costs, and build stronger relationships with your supply staff.

💡 Key Features of the Supply Pool:

  • Direct Candidate Management: Schools can load their own candidates into the system, making it easier to manage and communicate directly with supply staff.
  • Efficient Booking System: Manage and book your supply staff directly, cutting out the middleman and reducing costs.
  • Full Control: Keep track of your supply needs, availability, and bookings in real-time.

Time for a new way

The traditional supply staffing system is broken. Schools are spending more on agency fees, while supply staff are often left feeling undervalued and underutilised. Like NHS workers, teachers and support staff were our heroes during the pandemic, and supply staff form a crucial part of this workforce. It’s time we provided schools with a fair and efficient system that works for everyone.

The fragmented nature of the current system means that there is no unified strategy to connect supply workers with the schools that need them. This lack of cohesion leads to inefficiencies and unnecessary costs, burdening both schools and supply staff.

A better Way

rTriibe’s Supply Pool is designed to address these issues head-on. By enabling a direct engagement model, schools can take charge of their supply needs, while supply staff gain more stability and fairer working conditions. We know that there is demand for this model from both schools and workers.

By connecting the right candidates with the right schools, we can create a more efficient, cost-effective, and supportive system for all. It’s time to say goodbye to the outdated, costly system and hello to a new era of supply management.

In today’s challenging educational landscape, schools need more control over their supply staffing. rTriibe’s Supply Pool offers just that—an innovative, user-friendly platform that allows schools to manage their own candidate pools and bookings directly. It’s a smarter way to handle supply staffing, reducing costs and ensuring that schools have the right people in place when they need them.
