About the school

This well-established specialist school provides dedicated support for children and young people with autism spectrum conditions. The organisation’s primary aim is to deliver the best possible outcomes for its diverse cohort, but it also offers much more than traditional schooling. At the centre of its approach is an appreciation of each pupil’s unique qualities and strengths. The school recognises the complex needs associated with autism, but celebrates individuality and promotes an inclusive environment. Supporting the development of social communication skills and emotional and sensory regulation is fundamental, as these are key to flourishing academically and personally. The school’s practice is research-informed and eclectic, with a strong emphasis on wellbeing. A variety of autism-specific strategies are integrated into daily routines. The organisation actively involves pupils’ voices in many aspects of school life, such as the school council, and collaborates with the wider autistic community. Its curriculum, aligned with national and statutory standards, is personalised to meet each student’s needs and includes a range of extracurricular activities. Staff and parent training are prioritised to ensure practices are evidence-based and effective. A multi-professional team supports each individual, comprising class staff, in-house therapists, parents, and external professionals such as social and key workers. Recognising parents as experts on their children, the school values collaboration to maximise positive outcomes. To serve its varied student body, the school offers multiple pathways, including additional sites at primary and secondary levels within the local community. It actively fosters inclusion through community partnerships, work experience opportunities, and creative arts projects, further enriching its provision.

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.
