How do you describe yourself?

Teacher Teaching Assistant Cover Supervisor

What’s good about Zen is that they send you jobs on the app so you can look at them and you can look at the schools before you accept, pick and choose where you want to go. The way forward for working!

Absolutely lovely little nursery and lovely welcoming staff!

Very helpful, treated me as if I was one of their staff.

ZED Educate has provided me with many opportunities to work in different schools and has offered excellent support throughout, carefully matching my skills to suitable placements. The staff are highly committed, professional, and always willing to help.

There has been great communication throughout. and have been supported amazingly well, with my move into working in a school environment. I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone involved.

I really loved working with everyone and really enjoyed it. Thank you for the opportunity. Thank you to the support I had received.

I would like to give a huge thank you…

I would like to give a huge thank you to Hannah from the Zen Edictae customer support team. She has been absolutely outstanding throughout every interaction I’ve had with her.

Hannah was incredibly helpful, professional, and efficient in resolving all of my issues without any fuss or unnecessary delays. She made the whole process smooth and stress-free, always communicating clearly and showing genuine care in making sure everything was sorted properly.

It’s rare to come across customer support of this quality these days, and Hannah truly went above and beyond. She is a real asset to the company and fully deserves recognition for her hard work and dedication
-honestly, she deserves a raise!

Thank you again, Hannah, for the excellent support and exceptional customer service.

Zen are always keeping in touch and making sure everything is ok with the schools that I go into

Friendly staff. Well behaved children. Plenty of support in place for children with additional needs.

Working through Zen Educate has been a really positive experience for me. They were supportive, professional, and helped me secure a role at Paddock Secondary School where I’ve now successfully moved into a permanent position.

I really enjoyed my experience working for Zen Educate. The staff are so lovely and friendly and they are always willing to help! Matilda was such a joy to talk to she was very friendly, chatty and extremely helpful she helped me a lot with the whole process of my DBS and helped much more after. Shannon was very helpful and kind I unfortunately didn't get to speak to Shannon much but when I did she was lovely she also helped me a lot with any questions I had.

Charlie was also very helpful, chatty and kind he would help me a lot with the navigation/time to the school. all three always made sure to ask how I am Overall the staff I have spoken to have been amazing they are very dedicated to helping you in the best way they can. The application process took awhile as the DBS takes some time to come back however it is all definitely worth it.

My interview was one of the best! Matilda was the person who did my interview and she made me feel so much calmer and she chatted to me which made me feel a lot better for the interview. The only issue I had was I was not getting called into work as often so some weeks I wouldn't work at all for a long period of time, however I do understand that the agency is a zero hour contract.

Overall my experience working for Zen Educate has been amazing and the Staff have helped through every step and supported me they are very supportive and extremely kind!

Hey Layla, thank you so much for sharing such a detailed review!

It’s absolutely lovely to hear how Matilda, Shannon, and Charlie supported you. It’s great that the team was able to help you navigate everything from the DBS process to finding your way to school on those early mornings. We’re thrilled to have you as part of the Zen community.
