More Value. More Care. Less Cost

How Synergy Care & Education Compares to Standard Agency Rates

At Synergy Care & Education, we believe great staffing doesn’t have to come with hidden costs or unfair markups. Whether you're a care provider or a school leader, you deserve transparent pricing—and staff who are genuinely looked after.

That’s exactly what we deliver: fairer fees for clients and higher pay for staff, compared to the national agency average.

Care Staffing: Saving You Money Without Cutting Corners

Our client rates:

  • Day shifts (HCAs): £20.49/hr

  • Night shifts (HCAs): £21.99/hr

Typical agency rates for care staff currently range from £23–£26 per hour, especially for night and weekend cover.

Our staff pay:

  • £14.00/hr for days

  • £15.00/hr for nights

Compare that to some agencies still offering just £11–£12 per hour, even while charging high rates to clients. We know a well-paid carer is a more committed carer—and that’s better for everyone.

Education Staffing: Affordable Support for Every Classroom

Our client rates:

  • Teaching Assistants: £140/day

  • Qualified Teachers: £240/day

National agency averages:

  • TAs: £150–£180/day

  • Teachers: £250–£300/day

Our staff pay:

  • TAs: £90/day

  • Teachers: £150/day

We cut out the inflated margins, pay fairly, and deliver reliable, consistent education support that doesn’t break your school’s budget.
