    Primary school in Hammersmith and FulhamFull Time
    16 Mar - 17 Jul 2026
    We are seeking a committed Primary Teaching Assistant to join our outstanding primary school in Hammersmith and Fulham from January. This is a full-time role within a supportive and inclusive school environment where every child is encouraged to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. The role involves supporting pupils with complex behavioural and additional needs across the school day. One pupil requires close supervision due to tendencies to avoid tasks and move around the school, with support needed to help them follow transitions and engage with learning activities. Part of the morning routine includes supporting the pupil to regulate through short sensory breaks before attending structured phonics sessions in the library. The pupil benefits from consistent adult support until mid-afternoon and would require the implementation of a clear, predictable routine to support engagement and positive behaviour. The role may involve managing incidents of physical dysregulation, including scratching, using calm and appropriate behaviour-management strategies. The role also includes supporting a second pupil with ASD who presents with behavioural challenges and avoidance of tasks. Support is required to assist with transitions, encourage independence with personal belongings, and manage dysregulated behaviours, which may include attempted kicking. Morning support can be particularly challenging as there is not always a teaching assistant in place at this time. Visual support strategies, such as written instructions and expectations displayed on a whiteboard, are used to provide structure and consistency. Why Zen Educate? At Zen Educate, we prioritise supporting teaching assistants and teachers to find roles that suit their needs. Whether you are seeking better pay, greater flexibility, or ongoing guidance to help you find the right opportunity, we are here to support you at every stage.

Vetting

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.
