Job description
š®š¹ Deputy Head Teacher (with SENDCO responsibilities)
Independent bilingual primary school, Kensington and Chelsea
2 November start | Ā£300 to Ā£400 per day
About the school
A small independent Nursery and Primary school in west London teaching a genuinely bilingual Italian and English curriculum, recognised by both the British and Italian education systems. Every class has two mother tongue class teachers, one Italian and one English, working to a shared curriculum, supported by TAs and specialist teachers in music, art, drama and PE. Classes are capped at 16 from Reception, with staff to pupil ratios of roughly 1:5 in Early Years and 1:8 across KS1 and KS2.
Ofsted rated the school Good with outstanding features, with Outstanding awarded for quality of teaching, learning and assessment, personal development, behaviour and welfare, and outcomes for pupils. Inspectors described leaders as ambitious with high expectations for every pupil, and noted that pupils behave exceptionally well and feel genuinely safe and cared for.
The role
This is a senior leadership post in a small school, so it's hands on and visible. You'll deputise for the Head, help drive teaching and learning across the school, and hold the SENDCO function.
Day to day that means:
š¹ Leading SEND provision from Nursery to Year 6, including EHCP applications, reviews, and working with external professionals
š¹ Supporting class teams to adapt learning across two languages and two curricula, including pupils who need extra help in English or Italian
š¹ Coaching and quality assuring teaching, with a real say in how provision develops
š¹ Working closely with families, who are actively involved in school life here
š¹ Sharing safeguarding and pastoral leadership, alongside the school's wellbeing programme
Who this suits
ā
QTS with strong primary experience and a track record of leadership or middle leadership
ā
NASENCO or NPQ SENCO qualified, or willing to work towards it
ā
Someone who wants influence rather than a big line management chart, and likes the idea of a small, close knit, international community
ā
Italian language is a bonus but not a requirement
Why it's a good one
Small classes, high ratios, a genuinely inclusive intake and a school that treats behaviour as something children learn rather than something to punish. If you've wanted to shape SEND provision properly instead of firefighting a caseload of 80, this is that job.
Online application
Higher pay
Fast-track interviewing

Vetting

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.

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.
