Contract: Ongoing
About the Role
We are looking for a fun, energetic and proactive 1:1 Teaching Assistant to support a Reception-aged boy at a welcoming, inclusive and nurturing primary school.
The child is very active, verbal and outgoing, with a real love of being outdoors, exploring and taking part in physical activities. He thrives when learning is engaging, interactive and hands-on, and benefits from having a supportive adult who can channel his energy positively and help him stay focused.
The school has fantastic outdoor learning facilities and an excellent Forest School provision, making it an ideal environment for someone who enjoys outdoor education and understands the value of learning through exploration, movement and play.
What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate will be someone who:
Is energetic, enthusiastic and confident working with Reception-aged children.

Uses positive encouragement, distraction and gentle redirection to maintain engagement.
Can adapt activities to capture his interest and make learning enjoyable.
Is patient, flexible, creative and able to think on their feet.

Can support his participation in classroom learning, daily routines and social activities while encouraging independence.
The Approach
This role is all about building a connection, keeping him engaged and channelling his energy positively.
Rather than relying on repeated instructions or consequences, you'll use playful engagement, positive language, interesting activities and gentle redirection to help him navigate the school day.
You'll have the opportunity to make the most of the school's excellent outdoor provision, using movement, exploration and practical activities to help him regulate, engage and access learning.
The School
You'll be joining a welcoming primary school with a strong focus on inclusive education and a particularly impressive outdoor learning environment. Its Forest School provision offers fantastic opportunities for children to explore, develop confidence, build relationships and learn through practical experiences.
This is a great opportunity for someone who believes that children learn in different ways and enjoys finding creative approaches to help them succeed.
The ideal candidate: Someone warm, playful, proactive and full of energy, who can turn challenging moments into positive opportunities to reconnect, redirect and re-engage.
If you're passionate about early years, outdoor learning and making a genuine difference to a child's school experience, we'd love to hear from you!

We'll need evidence of your identity, right to work and teaching qualifaction. In addition, we'll need an enhanced DBS certificate and references from two recent previous employers.
Can you apply for a DBS for me?
Yes. If you need a DBS or your DBS needs updating we can apply for one fore you. The cost of a DBS is ÂŁ47.20 which we will reimburse once you have worked 10 days through Zen.
I don't have my documents right now. Can I still sign up?
Yes! You can sign up now and let us know what work you're looking for. You can return at any time to finish your profile and start getting bookings.
I don't have recent references, can I still sign up?
You can definitely still sign up! Once you've uploaded your CV, we'll be able to look at your experience, and help you figure out who would be best placed to act as your referees.
Roles
What roles do you cover?
We help Teachers, Teaching Assistants, and Cover Supervisors find work. We work with all types of schools and help with short-term, long-term and permanent roles. Many of our long-term roles convert to permanent roles. We make it far easier than a traditional agency for teachers to convert temporary positions into permanent ones.
What areas do you cover?
We work with over 400 schools in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds.
How much work is there?
Generally speaking, we have consistently high demand for daily supply teachers in Greater London, Manchester Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds. Teaching assistant work is generally higher for long-term roles rather than daily supply cover.
Do you have primary, secondary or nursery jobs?
Yes. We can help with daily supply and long-term jobs in nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools. We don't typically have jobs in further education or college.
Do you have work for cover supervisors, invigilators, or school administrators?
While the majority of our work is for teachers and teaching assistants, we do also have work for cover supervisors and invigilators. Explain what you are looking for when you sign up and our team will help you.
What subjects do you cover?
We cover all subjects taught in primary and secondary schools - if you're not sure if we can help you with what you're looking for, please register and arrange to speak to a member of our Teacher Success team.
Do you do school admin jobs?
If you're looking for teaching or teaching assistant roles, and would also be interested in admin roles, it's worth letting us know. If you're only looking for admin roles, we might not be the place for you, as this isn't what we specialise in.
General
How is Zen different from a recruitment agency?
Zen Educate is a technology platform to connect teachers with schools directly. Agencies are an expensive middleman between schools and teachers. They have to charge high commissions because their booking procedures are largely manual and run on outdated systems. Because we run more of the process online or on your phone, we create an experience that delights schools and teachers at a fraction of the cost.
