Are you passionate about education and looking for an exciting career outside of teaching? There’s a strong alternative in working for Zen Educate directly!

Zen is an exciting Education Technology startup working across the UK and the US – and we’re growing at such a fast pace that there’s never been a better time to join the team!

What do we do?

We’ve built an app which helps teachers and Teaching Assistants find well-suited work in schools quicker and with less hassle – all while being paid more than with traditional agencies.

Meanwhile, schools spend over £2bn a year on agency staff, with £600m of that going straight into the pockets of recruitment agencies. That’s why we’ve built an alternative.

Unlike agencies, Zen Educate uses cutting-edge tech and automation to remove the need for an expensive middleman. This means schools can find the best-suited staff and pay less, while teachers and Teaching Assistants find the work they want quicker and get paid more in the process.

But working in schools isn't the only way you can find an exciting career with Zen Educate!

Come and work at Zen HQ!

With roles all over the UK, working at Zen Educate is an opportunity to explore your passion for education in a completely different setting. It’s a hugely rewarding, inclusive place to work which values transferable skills.

This essentially means that anyone can apply, and we truly value the power of different skills and backgrounds of our employees. You don’t have to have the exact ‘right experience' or 'correct qualifications'.

As we continue growing, new vacancies in sales, marketing, customer support and lots of other areas become available very often. You can see all of our current vacancies here.

For anyone starting out in their career, Zen Educate can also help launch you into an exciting social impact business and we regularly invest in personal and professional development which makes this a great place for sales professionals to learn, grow and evolve.
