As an approved supplier on the Government Commercial Agency (GCA) Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework, and previously an approved supplier on the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) framework, Mana Education provides schools with a trusted, compliant and cost-effective route to sourcing education professionals.

Watch the video above to discover why so many schools, academies and trusts choose Mana Education as their recruitment partner.

A Recruitment Partner Schools Can Trust

Mana Education has been supporting schools since 2009 and is part of Mana Resourcing, an established recruitment business founded in 2002.

Over the years we have built long-term relationships with school leaders, business managers, HR teams and multi-academy trusts by focusing on three key principles:

Quality

We believe schools deserve access to the very best teachers and support staff.

Compliance

Every candidate is rigorously vetted to meet safeguarding and Department for Education requirements.

Service

Our consultants take the time to understand the unique needs of every school and trust we support.

Approved Supplier On The GCA Framework

Mana Education is proud to be an approved supplier on the Government Commercial Agency (GCA) Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework.

This means schools and academy trusts can procure staff through a supplier that has already been assessed for:

• Safeguarding procedures
• Recruitment quality
• Financial stability
• Service standards
• Compliance processes
• Value for money

Framework approval provides additional reassurance that schools are working with a trusted and established recruitment partner.

Fully Compliant Recruitment

Safeguarding remains at the heart of everything we do.

Every candidate supplied by Mana Education undergoes a thorough compliance process before entering a school environment.

Our compliance procedures include:

✔ Enhanced DBS checks

✔ Children's Barred List checks

✔ Identity verification

✔ Right to Work checks

✔ Qualification verification

✔ Professional references

✔ Teacher Regulation Agency (TRA) checks

✔ Employment history verification

✔ Safeguarding screening

This helps schools maintain confidence in the quality and suitability of every candidate we supply.
