  • Year 5 SEN Teaching Assistant - Brent Primary
    Primary school in BrentFull Time
    13 Apr - 31 Jul 2026
    Looking for an excellent TA. I am throwing the net out quite wide as this has to be an exceptional Teaching Assistant. He or she will be working with 2 children (in the morning) with EHCPs who have different needs and work at levels. This can be quite challenging and needs someone who is flexible and proactive. She will then be focusing on supporting 1 of the children in the afternoon and there will be another TA in the classroom in the afternoon. The children are in year 5 and both have autism. 1 child has limited speech and is working at nursery/reception level while the other child is working higher than this but below peers. I am looking for a TA who is very confident and will be able to engage with parents in an professional but warm way. Parents are very keen in having daily feedback, so someone who is willing to and is comfortable with doing this. My expectation is that they will either have a TA qualification or have been educated to a degree level. I will discuss others but this is usually our standard. I am planning to trial TAs next week and the following week to start straight after the holidays. As I am asking several agencies I would ask that you choose 1 person who you feel is suitable. If you want to suggest 2 please contact me and let me know but please have a top candidate.

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.

What roles do you cover?

Start a conversation on chat or email support@zeneducate.com and our friendly team will get back to you shortly.
