- KS1/KS2 Teacher for Outstanding Independent SEMH SchoolPupil Referral Unit school in Islington • Full Time1 Sep 2026 - 30 Jul 2027Learn moreClassroom Teacher – Primary – Job Description Job Title: Teacher Reporting To: SLT Employer: The School Salary: MPS-UPS Location: London Working Hours: 37.5 hours a week (39 weeks) Term of Contract: Permanent School Background The School is a therapeutic Alternative Provision free school (AP) specialising in providing short-term placements for up to 36 students with complex needs. The School is a centre of high-quality and innovative alternative education provision for children, families and schools across London. Our vision is to: * Provide a period of systemic recovery to change the trajectory of our pupils and families in a positive direction to improve their life chances. Rapidly provide pupils with the confidence, educational progress and ambition necessary for a successful and sustained reintegration into a mainstream school or appropriate alternative. Cultivate a productive lifestyle, personal resilience and the values required to become a responsible member of society. A Different Type of School The School is a different type of school that provides opportunities for young people whose demands are currently unsuited and difficult to manage for both them and their family in their current educational provision (mainstream and alternative). It is our conviction that many of these children have tremendous latent potential that an innovative school will nurture and release for the benefit of the wider society. These children need early and sustained intervention to ensure that they are not permanently excluded from school or, where they have already been excluded, to ensure their return to full-time appropriate provision is rapid and sustained. An integral part of our mission is to unitise a system around the pupil to enable a period of repair and progress towards a goal. The systemic nature of our approach supports a partnership where parents are recognised as an integral part of a supportive system and attend school alongside their child. This ensures the progress made continues long after our involvement with the pupil and family. The focus is on families helping themselves and each other to create the conditions and changes necessary so that their children can build the skill set to better equip them to return to school as functioning learners. Therapeutic techniques are embedded in all aspects of the teaching and learning programme. The School enables its pupils to: Make accelerated progress academically from their starting point upon joining us. Improve their barriers to learning, including challenging behaviours. Recover their psychological and emotional well-being and that of the wider family. Gain resilience, executive functioning and social cognition so that they can continue with full-time education and return successfully to their mainstream school or appropriate specialist provision.

The School is a centre of high-quality and innovative alternative education provision for children, families and schools across London. Our vision is to: * Provide a period of systemic recovery to change the trajectory of our pupils and families in a positive direction to improve their life chances. Rapidly provide pupils with the confidence, educational progress and ambition necessary for a successful and sustained reintegration into a mainstream school or appropriate alternative. Cultivate a productive lifestyle, personal resilience and the values required to become a responsible member of society. A Different Type of School The School is a different type of school that provides opportunities for young people whose demands are currently unsuited and difficult to manage for both them and their family in their current educational provision (mainstream and alternative). It is our conviction that many of these children have tremendous latent potential that an innovative school will nurture and release for the benefit of the wider society. These children need early and sustained intervention to ensure that they are not permanently excluded from school or, where they have already been excluded, to ensure their return to full-time appropriate provision is rapid and sustained. An integral part of our mission is to unitise a system around the pupil to enable a period of repair and progress towards a goal. The systemic nature of our approach supports a partnership where parents are recognised as an integral part of a supportive system and attend school alongside their child. This ensures the progress made continues long after our involvement with the pupil and family. The focus is on families helping themselves and each other to create the conditions and changes necessary so that their children can build the skill set to better equip them to return to school as functioning learners. Therapeutic techniques are embedded in all aspects of the teaching and learning programme. The School enables its pupils to: Make accelerated progress academically from their starting point upon joining us. Improve their barriers to learning, including challenging behaviours. Recover their psychological and emotional well-being and that of the wider family. Gain resilience, executive functioning and social cognition so that they can continue with full-time education and return successfully to their mainstream school or appropriate specialist provision.

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.
