SAS goes beyond simply protecting your budget when teachers are absent—they help prevent absences from happening in the first place. With a dedicated team of in-house experts, including counsellors, NMC-registered nurses, physiotherapists, personal trainers, and wellbeing specialists, SAS proactively supports staff health and wellbeing to address issues before they escalate.
Schools also benefit from a dedicated Account Manager who provides tailored support and can customise a package to meet the unique needs of your school. This personalised approach ensures that SAS delivers exceptional service, helping schools maintain a happy, healthy workforce.

“We have been working with SAS for many years and have found them effective, reasonably priced and always ready to help with those unusual situations that don’t fit in or around the normal policy. Working with our account manager Jo, she has helped smooth any issues, she is very attentive and ensures that all of our needs are met; she is a pleasure to deal with. I would have no reason not to highly recommend them.” Learning Trust
“We started our relationship with Schools Advisory Services (SAS) back in June 2022 across all 18 of our schools and for all of our 1,200 staff. The feedback we have had from colleagues about SAS service provision so far has been universally positive, both in terms of the experience and how prompt and responsive people have found it when accessing it. As a Trust, we feel it’s vital that our staff are able to access assistance and support quickly when they need it most, as such this feedback reinforces our confidence that SAS were the right choice for us for wellbeing services for our Trust.”
