About the school

At our Twickenham site we provide education for students from the age of 7 to 16 years (Key Stages 2 to 4). Our classes are led by qualified teachers supported by teaching assistants. There are usually between 8 and 10 students in a class, arranged by age and needs with levels of support dependent on individual needs. The curriculum is broad and balanced and supports both the academic and social, emotional and mental health needs of all learners. The full range of national curriculum subjects are offered, differentiated or adapted to meet the needs of all learners. An emphasis is placed on developing the literacy and mathematical skills that students will need to be successful in later life and so these subjects are taught daily. Students are placed on one of three pathways, some will follow a more formal curriculum that leads to qualifications whilst others will work on the Equals Semi-Formal Curriculum with more of an emphasis on acquiring relevant life skills. Social and emotional skills are taught explicitly by staff using programmes such as Zones of Regulation, Talkabout and LEANS (Learning about neuro diversity in school). These schemes help individuals to develop the skills that will allow them to be successful in the wider community.

I'm having trouble registering

I only have overseas experience. Is that OK?

Generally schools prefer teachers and TAs who are familiar with the UK Curriculum, but this can vary. We'd be happy to speak to you about your experience, and find out if we'd be able to help you find a role.

What documents will I need to provide?

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?
