LetsLocalise will allow schools to post job vacancies for free, removing the need for agency or advertising fees. This means they will save money. Head teachers have told us how challenging it can be to find good staff to support critical activities and we know schools spend a significant amount of time and money on filling permanent and temporary staff positions – government estimates suggest that schools spend close to £600 million per year on supply teacher and teaching job advertisements.
This money saved can be used to provide school sport facilities, better classroom equipment, art supplies, musical instruments, more enrichment trips, and to improve staff support – all of which are currently getting side-tracked due to lack of funds.
