13 Jul 2026 - 23 Jul 2027
This is a temporary-to-permanent opportunity at a secondary academy that operates within a Catholic educational trust. The role will be appointed as either a Premises Officer or a Premises Assistant, strictly depending on the depth of expertise and prior experience of the chosen candidate. The position offers a competitive pay rate of up to £25.00 per hour. The school is happy to offer excellent flexibility with two potential shift patterns depending on your preference, and timings can be amended slightly to suit the right candidate. * Option 1 (Premises Only): Strictly 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, featuring a 1-hour unpaid break (5 hours paid daily). * Option 2 (Premises + Cleaning Combo): Approximately 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM with a half-hour break, combining the core premises role with an additional 2.5 hours per day as a cleaner.

You will work directly alongside the full-time Site & Compliance Manager for the majority of the day to support daily operations.

Key Responsibilities * Complete daily portering, outdoor litter picking, and general cleaning duties across the academy premises. * Provide dedicated site support, working alongside the manager and stepping in to maintain solo coverage during his break. * Handle ad-hoc facilities requests and use your own initiative to resolve site issues during independent coverage windows. * Assist with moving school furniture, setting up learning environments, and handling incoming deliveries. * Ensure the school grounds remain safe, tidy, and compliant with basic safety standards. * Undertake additional dedicated school cleaning duties if choosing the combined shift option. Candidate Requirements * You must have prior experience in a school caretaking, site management, or facilities-based role. * Your level of prior expertise will directly determine whether you are brought on at the Assistant or Officer level. * An active, enhanced DBS check is strictly required for this position. * You must have a proven track record of working autonomously and managing tasks confidently when required. * You must be physically capable of lifting, moving equipment, and walking across a secondary school site.…This is a temporary-to-permanent opportunity at a secondary academy that operates within a Catholic educational trust.

Key Responsibilities Deliver a full class teacher role, adapting the EYFS and KS1 curriculum to meet complex ASD and non-verbal needs. Utilize communication tools such as PECS, Makaton, and visual timetables to engage non-verbal learners. Manage and deploy a team of classroom support staff effectively. Assess, track, and record pupil progress against individualized targets (EHCPs). Collaborate with the mainstream teaching teams to ensure seamless inclusion transitions. What We Are Looking For Experience: A proven track record teaching children with complex SEN / ASD, preferably within an SRP or special school setting. Curriculum Knowledge: Deep understanding of early development (EYFS/KS1) and how to adapt it for high-needs learners. Skills: Strong behavior management, patience, and expertise in non-verbal communication strategies. Qualifications: QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) required. This role is ideally suited to an experienced teacher commanding an M6 scale equivalent. How to Apply & Interview Process The school is looking to move quickly for the right candidate.

This purpose-built, downstairs unit caters specifically to younger learners (Reception to Year 2) with complex needs, primarily Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and non-verbal communication profiles. This role is initially temporary through Zen, but the school’s explicit intent is to directly appoint the successful candidate to a permanent contract. The Classroom & Support Structure You will be leading a small, highly structured, and nurturing environment designed to help children feel safe while they learn. Small Class Size: Just 9 children in total across Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 (typically 3 children per year group). High Staffing Ratio: Exceptional 1:3 staffing support, meaning you will work alongside a dedicated team of experienced teaching assistants. Inclusive Approach: The children split their time between the specialized unit and mainstream classes, accompanied by their support staff. Leadership Support: You will work closely with a supportive Teacher-in-Charge who oversees Key Stage 2 and manages the wider SRP, allowing you to focus on high-quality teaching and learning. Key Responsibilities Deliver a full class teacher role, adapting the EYFS and KS1 curriculum to meet complex ASD and non-verbal needs. Utilize communication tools such as PECS, Makaton, and visual timetables to engage non-verbal learners. Manage and deploy a team of classroom support staff effectively. Assess, track, and record pupil progress against individualized targets (EHCPs). Collaborate with the mainstream teaching teams to ensure seamless inclusion transitions. What We Are Looking For Experience: A proven track record teaching children with complex SEN / ASD, preferably within an SRP or special school setting. Curriculum Knowledge: Deep understanding of early development (EYFS/KS1) and how to adapt it for high-needs learners. Skills: Strong behavior management, patience, and expertise in non-verbal communication strategies. Qualifications: QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) required. This role is ideally suited to an experienced teacher commanding an M6 scale equivalent. How to Apply & Interview Process The school is looking to move quickly for the right candidate. The selection process will involve a morning trial day and interview (the school explicitly requests morning sessions to see you working at your best during peak learning hours).

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?
