We’re an online platform connecting schools with supply staff. To date, we’ve saved schools over £14M! 👩🏻🏫
About us
At Zen our mission is to change the world of education recruitment. Schools spend over £2bn a year on agency staff, with over £600m per year of that spent on fees that go straight to recruitment agencies. So far, we've saved UK schools over £14m in supply teaching recruitment costs, and that number grows every day, allowing schools to invest further into children’s wellbeing and attainment. We're not just redefining recruitment; we’re upskilling our supply staff to provide the highest quality teachers and TAs to schools. Each supply staff member is Level 2 Safeguarding trained, guaranteeing the safety and wellbeing of children in your school. Using our online platform, schools can access hundreds of fully vetted high-quality teacher & TA profiles, who they can book instantly at the click of a button. We don't stop at just providing a platform – we have a dedicated school success team here to support you every step of the way. When you succeed, we succeed!

Meet Shiv Kagadada, Account Manager at Zen Educate – and importantly, former pupil at Norbury Manor Primary School, London! His work supporting schools has prompted many happy memories from school: “I have many vivid memories of my time at Norbury Manor. My first day in Reception, being taken aback by all the toy trains to my final day of Year 6, and the endless shirt signing during break and lunch time! 🚆🥗 Mrs Wray was a Head Teacher with great presence and compassion, who always led fantastic assemblies – my favourite being singing the Harvest Song from the overhead projector. 🎵 Mrs Patel, a Teaching Assistant, would always advocate for me to connect with my culture and mother tongue, Gujarati, which we both grew up speaking. I recall always speaking with her in the hallway, sharing stories about festivals and celebrations. This friendship even extended to my mum, who worked in the pharmacy nearby! 🤝 Mrs Lordan, my year 2 teacher, who is still teaching there to this day, was the most energetic, bubbly and caring teacher. She would always support my sister and I, and she helped me identify what I was good at and find ways to stretch myself. Maths was our favourite subject to talk about! 👩🏫 Mrs Johnson, Deputy Head, really helped me come out of my shell. I remember being in a school production in Year 4 about mythical creatures, and playing a scientist discovering a yeti for the first time. Later on, I acted and sang during an arts festival in Fairfield Halls where I portrayed Van Gogh creating his famous painting ‘Sunflowers’. Through a sea of both family and strangers, I could see Mrs Johnson at the front giving me a thumbs up to calm my nerves! 🌻 Every single one of us in education has a responsibility to make sure children are seen and loved – and you have no idea what stories will stick with people for years to come.” 📖 Now at Zen Educate, Shiv is supporting London schools whose stories are yet to be told. 🏫✨ #School #LondonSchools #SchooLeaders #WeCareMore
