ClassCover Acquires Relief Ruler

ClassCover are excited to announce the acquisition of relief teacher booking platform, Relief Ruler. Effective 1st June 2022, this exciting step stands to benefit users of both Relief Ruler and ClassCover by bringing together the two industry-leading platforms.  

With the largest database of casual education staff and schools across Australia and New Zealand, ClassCover has a best-in-class booking and deep jobs platform that makes daily casual bookings as well as recruitment for ongoing roles easier for educators and school administrators.  

Relief Ruler is the leading relief teacher management solution for the South Australian market, with over 300 schools and 3,500 teachers on the platform. Speaking about the acquisition, ClassCover CEO, Ben Grozier spoke of the natural affinity between the two businesses and the benefits the union will bring to Relief Ruler users.  

“From the moment we started talking with the team at Relief Ruler we felt comfortable and among like-minded people. It is such a privilege to be given the opportunity to maintain and grow the Relief Ruler community by bringing them into the ClassCover family.” 

Similarly, Relief Ruler Founder and CEO, Adam Trengrove, explained that through the acquisition, many aspects of the Relief Ruler business that are popular with users will remain unchanged.  

“There is so much to like about the product, the team and the Class Cover community. This is a really exciting development for all users of Relief Ruler.” 

The acquisition comes during an exciting period of growth for ClassCover. The last 12 months have seen the introduction of a host of new features, including the launch of a dedicated ClassCover Jobs platform, designed specifically for full-time and part-time roles, and the addition of new job roles to expand the platform to all education staff, including SSOs, teacher aides, and university students with interim approval to teach. With this latest update to the platform, ClassCover is well positioned to be an all-in-one solution for schools to find, hire, and manage staff of all kinds.  

This added functionality is already proving popular with both existing and new users of the platform, with a number of new enterprise clients joining ClassCover, including an additional three Catholic education Diocese school networks this year alone, bringing the total number of Diocese clients to six across the country.  

Elsewhere in the business, our tutoring arm continues to go from strength to strength, including our partnership with The Smith Family’s Catch-Up Learning Program entering its second year, expanding to over 500 children in need.  

With more details of the acquisition on the way, ClassCover CEO, Ben Grozier, speaks of the excitement among the ClassCover and Relief Ruler teams at the potential of the new union.  

“We look forward to the coming months and years ahead of providing schools and teachers with our well-known support.”
