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.
