About the school
This school is situated in North Devon, with two campuses serving different age groups. The site for secondary pupils is located in Barnstaple, while the other campus in Bideford caters to Primary and Nurture pupils. The focus across the school is on supporting emotional needs and fostering holistic development within a whole-academy environment.
The school recognises that each child is unique and learns at different paces. Staff are dedicated to ensuring that all pupils feel supported and challenged in their learning journey. When children encounter barriers to learning, the nurturing environment provides support, guidance, and models positive relationships to help them thrive.
The school works closely with both primary and secondary schools in the region and beyond to support the most vulnerable pupils. Many pupils join the school at various points during their education, often following the breakdown of their previous placements. The aim is to create a safe, caring environment where pupils can grow, develop responsibility, and become lifelong learners.
Supporting pupils to get back on track might involve transitioning to a more permanent education setting or, for older students, completing their Year 11 studies with the school. The team collaborates with a diverse range of external agencies, both statutory and voluntary, to ensure families receive the necessary support and guidance.
The school is committed to developing a personalised curriculum that meets pupils’ individual needs, fostering skills, knowledge, attitudes, and understanding to help all students reach their full potential.

I don't have my documents right now. Can I still sign up?
Yes! You can sign up now and let us know what work you're looking for. You can return at any time to finish your profile and start getting bookings.
I don't have recent references, can I still sign up?
You can definitely still sign up! Once you've uploaded your CV, we'll be able to look at your experience, and help you figure out who would be best placed to act as your referees.
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.
