He has found it difficult to stay in lessons, so your work with him will centre on building trust, providing a calm and consistent presence, and de-escalating at difficult moments. 💙 Alongside this, you will also assist as a TA in other classes and with other students during the day.

The priority is presence, engagement and emotional regulation, not work completed. ✨ ✅ About You: Essential 🔹 Previous experience as a SEN TA or in a similar support role (this is not a role for first-time TAs) 🔹 Experience supporting young people with autism, ideally PDA or similarly demand-avoidant presentations 🔹 Resilient, confident and calm when working with challenging behaviour 💪 🔹 Able to stay neutral and consistent under pressure 🔹 Flexible and happy to move between 1:1 and general classroom support 🔹 Professional, reliable and punctual, able to start at 8:15am each day 🔹 Respectful of and comfortable working within the school’s faith-based ethos 🔹 Enhanced DBS (on the Update Service preferred) and right to work in the UK ➕ About You: Desirable 🔸 Training in de-escalation or positive behaviour support (e.g. Team Teach) 🔸 Experience in a secondary school setting 🔸 Experience building rapport with teenage boys 📌 Please Note No trial day is required; the booking will run straight through to the end of half term. 📩 How to Apply Express your interest through the Zeneducate website.

He has found it difficult to stay in lessons, so your work with him will centre on building trust, providing a calm and consistent presence, and de-escalating at difficult moments. 💙 Alongside this, you will also assist as a TA in other classes and with other students during the day. This keeps the role varied and helps manage fatigue. 🔄 The student may initially be resistant to having 1:1 support, so patience, flexibility and a low-demand, relationship-first approach are essential. 📋 Key Responsibilities 🔹 Provide 1:1 support and a consistent, reassuring presence for the Year 8 student 🔹 Help him to stay in class, access lessons where possible, and re-engage after time out 🔹 Use calm, low-demand strategies to prevent escalation and de-escalate where needed 🔹 Build a positive rapport and trust gradually, without pressure 🔹 Support other students and classes across the school as directed, in a general TA capacity 🔹 Work closely with school staff and follow the school’s behaviour and safeguarding policies 🔹 Report back to the school contact on the day Academic output from the 1:1 student is expected to be low. The priority is presence, engagement and emotional regulation, not work completed. ✨ ✅ About You: Essential 🔹 Previous experience as a SEN TA or in a similar support role (this is not a role for first-time TAs) 🔹 Experience supporting young people with autism, ideally PDA or similarly demand-avoidant presentations 🔹 Resilient, confident and calm when working with challenging behaviour 💪 🔹 Able to stay neutral and consistent under pressure 🔹 Flexible and happy to move between 1:1 and general classroom support 🔹 Professional, reliable and punctual, able to start at 8:15am each day 🔹 Respectful of and comfortable working within the school’s faith-based ethos 🔹 Enhanced DBS (on the Update Service preferred) and right to work in the UK ➕ About You: Desirable 🔸 Training in de-escalation or positive behaviour support (e.g. Team Teach) 🔸 Experience in a secondary school setting 🔸 Experience building rapport with teenage boys 📌 Please Note No trial day is required; the booking will run straight through to the end of half term. 📩 How to Apply Express your interest through the Zeneducate website. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted by phone first thing on Monday morning. 📞

FAQ

Signing up

I'm having trouble registering

If the online sign up isn't working as it should for you then you can email your CV and a short description of what you're looking for to our team at teachwithus@zeneducate.com and we'll be in touch.

How do I interview? Do I have to come to your office?

To make sure you're getting bookings perfect for you, we will invite you to a 30-minute online interview with our team to learn about your experience, preferences and why you're passionate about working in education. You can do this through any smartphone or computer. If you'd prefer to interview in person at our office, just let us know.

I'm still in a full-time job/ not looking to work straight away and just looking

If you're not ready to find another role, or, you're definitely still welcome to sign up. Registering with us and letting us know what you're looking for will help us to get in touch with you about roles you may be interested in!

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.

Vetting

What documents will I need to provide?

We'll need evidence of your identity, right to work and teaching qualifaction. In addition, we'll need an enhanced DBS certificate and references from two recent previous employers.

Can you apply for a DBS for me?

Yes. If you need a DBS or your DBS needs updating we can apply for one fore you. The cost of a DBS is £47.20 which we will reimburse once you have worked 10 days through Zen.

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?

Start a conversation on chat or email support@zeneducate.com and our friendly team will get back to you shortly.
