As one of the longest standing insurance specialists in the education sector, The Education Broker offers a complete staff absence management package that provides access to one of the widest covers on the market, a leading health and wellbeing service, occupational health support and maternity leave cover.
Our team of specialists includes people who previously worked in the education sector, so we know how disruptive, time-consuming and costly staff absences can be. To help schools with these challenges, we have designed a package to mitigate financial risk and reduce staff absences.
All our clients receive a personal service from our friendly, knowledgeable and reliable team, who can be contacted in a manner that suits you. Whether it be by phone, email or our online portal, you can be assured that you have access to the support and advice you need, when you need it.
We know that every school is different and that education provider budgets need to be carefully managed. Therefore, we’re dedicated to supporting schools to identify the most suitable cover for their circumstances. From making initial enquires to obtaining comparison quotations, we can help you every step of the way, ensuring you’re confident you have the cover you need at a price you can afford.
But don’t just take our word for it. Here is what some of our clients have to say about our service:
"The Education Broker team represents among the highest levels of customer service I have experienced. Responses, queries, and payments are turned around very fast. The team are so pleasant, well informed, and always go that extra mile at every stage to help. I would recommend The Education Broker unreservedly."
The Stour Academy Trust have been working with The Education Broker since 2014, at this time the Trust was just three schools. Since 2014 we have grown to eight schools and The Education Broker have been able to support us in our growth, providing more services to allow us to support our growing workforce.
The Education Broker cover all our Staff Insurance needs; communication via their portal makes it a really easy process to update claims, add new staff or remove leavers etc. for all eight schools.
Through The Education Broker we are also able to provide all our staff with access to the Health and Wellbeing Hub. Since the Covid pandemic, supporting employee mental health support has become a top priority for our organisation and through working with The Education Broker we are able to easily support all our staff with a wide range of services available via the dedicated app and the phone lines. They offer support on a wide range of topics, from financial advice to bereavement support as well as access to confidential counselling for any issue. Positive feedback from colleagues who have utilised this service said they have found the phone lines are staffed by friendly and helpful advisors and being able to download the app has also provided them with a lot of support tools.
Having Ami as a dedicated contact means that any technical issues or queries are resolved quickly. We will be renewing our contract with The Education Broker and would recommend them to other schools/Trusts.
I am writing this testimonial to The Education Broker to say that as a school we are very happy with the service you provide in relation to staff absences. I have built up strong links with staff and communication between us works extremely well. I always get immediate responses, you resolve issues quickly and there is nothing you can't help with. You remind me where I am up to with claims and payouts - efficiency and politeness always shines through if there is ever a need for telephone contact. Therefore, I can't fault you, which is why we stay with you and have done so for a number of years now. Thank you for all you do.
