    Brief

    Lion Academy Trust is seeking a supply agency partner to provide temporary staffing services across all schools within the trust. This is a 4-year agreement with flexibility built in, allowing either party to terminate the contract with 30 days' notice if the Trust's strategic direction changes. The successful supplier will need to maintain a reliable pool of qualified temporary staff to cover absences and staffing needs across multiple school locations. Key requirements include quick response times, quality staff placement, and the ability to scale services to meet the Trust's fluctuating demand.
