  • Humanities Teacher - Croydon Independent school - September start
    Independent School school in CroydonPart Time
    1 Sep - 22 Dec 2025
    Part time (Tues to Fri - 4 days) Humanities Teacher who will cover the whole of the Autumn Term from September to December. The person should be: A secondary history specialist who has experience of both KS3 and KS4. They will also be teaching some Global Citizenship so if they have this experience it is a bonus. There are overviews in place but the person needs to be able to hold planning and assessment confidently. Therefore we are probably looking at someone more experienced than just freshly qualified. The KS3 classes are all 10 young people maximum. The KS4 classes range from 6 young people to 2 young people so classes are small and a teacher can really get to know and work closely with them. We are looking for someone committed to a whole term of work and who might enjoy working in our unique school. They may be familiar with (or show interest to learn about) high levels of pastoral care and non-punitive approaches going hand in hand with meaningful learning experiences, and someone who has genuine interest in young people and their voice.

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.
