  • SEN Teaching Assistant - Ealing Primary
    Primary school in EalingFull Time
    13 Apr - 31 Jul 2026
    West Twyford SEN TA Working with two boys The current TA supports two children on an individual basis. The first is here for 2 hours a day, every day. He is very self-directed, is non-verbal and can be quite physical in his behaviours. He is on a list for a specialist school, and we hope that the borough will be finding him a place soon - he is at very high risk of permanent exclusion. The other is only with us for three days a week, but for the entire day. This boy is very impulsive and self-directed; he will react without thinking, often physically. He is on a dual registration placement. He needs to be monitored carefully when he is outside; he cannot be unsupervised, as he often gets involved in things that aren't his business, and this gets him in trouble. The current TA does inside play activities with this boy at lunchtime in a small group. Ideally, we would like someone who has experience of working with ADHD and high level SEMH needs - someone who has experience of behaviour mentoring.

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.
