Job description

We are seeking a dedicated and skilled KS2 Intervention Teacher to join our team, with a primary focus on boosting mathematics attainment for Year 6 pupils. This role is ideal for an experienced practitioner who is passionate about closing gaps in learning and supporting pupils to reach their full potential, particularly in preparation for end-of-key-stage assessments. The successful candidate will plan and deliver high-impact, targeted maths interventions for small groups and individual pupils. You will use assessment data effectively to identify specific areas of need, design tailored intervention programmes, and monitor progress over time. A strong understanding of the KS2 mathematics curriculum, SATs requirements, and age-related expectations is essential. Working closely with the Year 6 class teachers, and senior leaders, you will ensure interventions align with classroom teaching and whole-school priorities. You will contribute to pupil progress meetings, maintain clear records of impact, and adapt strategies to maximise outcomes. While the role is primarily focused on Year 6, there may be opportunities to support maths interventions across other KS2 year groups as required. We are looking for a teacher who is confident, nurturing, and highly organised, with the ability to motivate and engage learners who may lack confidence in maths. You should have strong behaviour management skills and a calm, positive approach that builds pupils’ resilience and self-belief. Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is essential, along with recent experience teaching or supporting KS2 mathematics. Experience of intervention work, SATs preparation, or working with pupils with additional needs will be an advantage. In return, we offer a supportive team environment, high-quality resources, and the opportunity to make a measurable difference to pupils’ outcomes at a crucial stage of their education.

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.
