About the school

Briarwood Infants, previously known as The Pod, is a specialist Early Years setting for children with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), Autism (ASC) and children with Complex Needs. It is an 18 place provision, with 3 classrooms for children from Nursery to Year 2. Pupils offered a place at Briarwood Infants must have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and admissions are through Bristol City Council SEND department, not through the school.

Supporting children and their families from the East Central area of Bristol as well as other areas in the city, we celebrate the rich diversity of our community's nationalities and languages. Briarwood Infants serves as a supportive first placement for young children who are recognised as needing a specialist setting or who are not currently flourishing in other placements. With our bespoke Briarwood Early Years Stages curriculum developed for our unique children from well researched EYFS models, our highly trained expert staff team follow an Early Years play based approach with a strong emphasis on outdoor play and learning. We believe in a supporting our children intensively during the crucial foundation years to make certain they access the provision they need which is individualised and monitored to ensure they meet their full potential. We work closely with a range of professional therapists to ensure best practice. Many of our children will continue on to Briarwood Juniors with a carefully planned transition, although it may be appropriate to move onto another specialist setting or integrate into a mainstream provision, a process that takes place with families and professionals through the annual review.

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.
