KS1/KS2 Teacher for Outstanding Independent SEMH School
Pupil Referral Unit school in Islington • Full Time
1 Sep 2026 - 30 Jul 2027
Classroom Teacher – Primary – Job Description Job Title: Teacher Reporting To: SLT Employer: The School Salary: MPS-UPS Location: London Working Hours: 37.5 hours a week (39 weeks) Term of Contract: Permanent School Background The School is a therapeutic Alternative Provision free school (AP) specialising in providing short-term placements for up to 36 students with complex needs. The School is a centre of high-quality and innovative alternative education provision for children, families and schools across London. Our vision is to: * Provide a period of systemic recovery to change the trajectory of our pupils and families in a positive direction to improve their life chances. Rapidly provide pupils with the confidence, educational progress and ambition necessary for a successful and sustained reintegration into a mainstream school or appropriate alternative. Cultivate a productive lifestyle, personal resilience and the values required to become a responsible member of society. A Different Type of School The School is a different type of school that provides opportunities for young people whose demands are currently unsuited and difficult to manage for both them and their family in their current educational provision (mainstream and alternative). It is our conviction that many of these children have tremendous latent potential that an innovative school will nurture and release for the benefit of the wider society. These children need early and sustained intervention to ensure that they are not permanently excluded from school or, where they have already been excluded, to ensure their return to full-time appropriate provision is rapid and sustained. An integral part of our mission is to unitise a system around the pupil to enable a period of repair and progress towards a goal. The systemic nature of our approach supports a partnership where parents are recognised as an integral part of a supportive system and attend school alongside their child. This ensures the progress made continues long after our involvement with the pupil and family. The focus is on families helping themselves and each other to create the conditions and changes necessary so that their children can build the skill set to better equip them to return to school as functioning learners. Therapeutic techniques are embedded in all aspects of the teaching and learning programme. The School enables its pupils to: Make accelerated progress academically from their starting point upon joining us. Improve their barriers to learning, including challenging behaviours. Recover their psychological and emotional well-being and that of the wider family. Gain resilience, executive functioning and social cognition so that they can continue with full-time education and return successfully to their mainstream school or appropriate specialist provision.

Connect with other parents and families who may have shared experiences. Be a central part of creating the conditions to support change for their child and their educational journey. Our fundamental belief is that all children have a right to high-quality education, even when there are psychological or emotional barriers, or when their behaviour is preventing them from making progress in mainstream schools, and that their learning and education should continue during their treatment and recovery. Main Purpose The teacher will: Fulfil the professional responsibilities of a teacher, as set out in the School Teacher’s Pay and Conditions Document. Meet the expectations set out in the Teachers' Standards and school policies and values. Support all families through the development of trusting relationships that foster belonging, safety and success for all students.

Teach pupils in their assigned group according to their educational needs, including the setting and marking of work to be carried out by the pupils in school and elsewhere. Demonstrate good subject and curriculum knowledge. Assess, monitor, record and report on the learning needs, progress, attainment and achievements of assigned pupils, making accurate and productive use of assessment. Keep all records required by The School’s systems. Foster a learning environment and educational experience which promotes high expectations and provides children with the opportunity to fulfil their individual potential. Plan teaching to achieve optimum progression in pupils’ learning by identifying clear teaching objectives, content, and assessment methods appropriate to the cohort. Set tasks for the whole class, individuals or groups which challenge pupils and ensure high levels of interest. Set appropriately demanding expectations for pupils’ learning, motivation and presentation of work. Set clear learning targets that are shared and understood by the pupils. Participate in arrangements for preparing pupils for external tests. Ensure a high-quality learning experience for pupils that meets internal and external quality standards. Utilise a variety of delivery methods appropriate to students’ learning styles and the varying demands of the curriculum. Health, Safety and Behaviour Establish a safe, purposeful and stimulating environment for pupils through well-focused teaching, fostering positive relationships rooted in mutual respect, and establishing a framework for discipline with a range of strategies. Use praise, sanctions and rewards consistently and fairly in line with The School’s behaviour policy. Provide a positive, conducive and safe learning environment, encouraging high standards in attendance, punctuality, and relationships. Manage classes effectively, using approaches appropriate to pupils’ needs in order to inspire, motivate and challenge them. Maintain good relationships with pupils, exercise appropriate authority, and act decisively when necessary. Be a positive role model and consistently demonstrate the positive attitudes, values and behaviour expected of pupils. Promote the executive functioning and independence of all learners. Carry out playground and other duties as directed within the remit of the current School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Document. Comply with health and safety policies and undertake risk assessments as appropriate.

I'm having trouble registering

If the online sign up isn't working as it should for you then you can email your CV and a short description of what you're looking for to our team at teachwithus@zeneducate.com and we'll be in touch.

How do I interview? Do I have to come to your office?

To make sure you're getting bookings perfect for you, we will invite you to a 30-minute online interview with our team to learn about your experience, preferences and why you're passionate about working in education. You can do this through any smartphone or computer. If you'd prefer to interview in person at our office, just let us know.

I only have overseas experience. Is that OK?

Generally schools prefer teachers and TAs who are familiar with the UK Curriculum, but this can vary. We'd be happy to speak to you about your experience, and find out if we'd be able to help you find a role.

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.
