About the school

This specialised secondary school caters to students aged 11–16, all of whom hold an Education, Health & Care Plan (EHCP) with a primary focus on Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. The school supports a diverse range of needs, including autism, ADHD, attachment concerns, childhood trauma, emotional school avoidance, and dysregulation, within a nurturing and inclusive environment. The curriculum is adapted from the National Curriculum, with wellbeing at its core. Core subjects such as English, Maths, and Science are taught up to GCSE level, alongside BTEC and vocational options. Daily PSHCE sessions, mindfulness practices, and pupil check-ins promote emotional development. Enrichment activities like outdoor education, creative therapies, Duke of Edinburgh awards, ASDAN qualifications, and activities such as swimming, climbing, music, cooking, and art enhance learning beyond the classroom. The school's ethos is built on four pillars: Aspiration, Resilience, Kindness, and Responsibility. It strives to create a supportive, respectful environment where every individual is valued. Staff are specially trained in conflict resolution, therapeutic approaches, and de-escalation techniques to ensure a safe and therapeutic setting. The typical school day runs from Monday to Thursday, featuring form time, PSHE, and seven lessons including mindfulness slots, amounting to around 26 hours of teaching weekly. Fridays include an awards ceremony and reward or catch-up sessions. A dedicated SEND team provides tailored support, and careers education is aligned with Gatsby benchmarks, facilitated by an in-house adviser. The school works closely with local authorities to facilitate admissions and operates under a trust model, with a capacity for approximately 220 pupils. Facilities are purpose-built, incorporating adventure playgrounds, outdoor gazebos, multiple halls, a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA), and modern classrooms—all designed to foster emotional security and a sense of community. Located in a central area, the school is easily accessible via public transport, including a nearby tram stop. Overall, this school offers a structured, supportive environment that combines academic achievement with therapeutic support, empowering students with SEMH needs to thrive and prepare confidently for post-16 pathways.

FAQ

Signing up

I'm having trouble registering

You can do this through any smartphone or computer. If you'd prefer to interview in person at our office, just let us know.

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.

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.
