I would absolutely recommend Zen Educate to anyone looking for teaching assistant roles like myself. Honestly, onboarding was quick. Within a week my profile was live and I was fully booked the week after.

Real Zen experience
Free of hassle bookings. No morning phone calls from consultants. Instead, bookings received on app. Real Zen experience for me. Consultants very friendly and helpful, genuinely interested in you, and in securing a long term placement.

The Best Agency 👌🏽
"I've absolutely loved working with Zen Educate over the past 3 years! Their support and communication have been top-notch, and they've always gone above and beyond to find me amazing teaching opportunities. The team is super friendly and always on hand to help with any queries. I've had some incredible jobs and made some fantastic connections – thanks for being such a great agency to work with 😊"
Great company to be with
The company has been great since I worked for them
They have communicated with me every step of the way and explained everything clearly
I am generally happy with the service I…
I am generally happy with the service I have from Zen. However, I'd like to have a clear and transparent discussion regarding pay rates and margins so that I can feel assured that I'm being treated fairly. I often feel like I am doing Zen a favour by travelling further than I'm usually happy to and being offered a fiver compensation for driving almost 2 hours in addition to my working day. I strongly feel that supply staff should be compensated for overly long travel times, let alone fuel and wear and tear to vehicles. I am sure there is legislation that covers this.

Reply from Zen Educate
Excellent supply agency
Zen are understanding and fair. I appreciate the system where work appears as a message on the app. Wait too long though and it will be gone! However, it still gives you the opportunity to think about whether you want the job. I enjoyed my first day with them and I think they pay quite well.
On the 23rd of February 2026
On the 23rd of February 2026, I was sent there as a nursery assistant by Zen Educate.
I enjoyed my first day of work with this nursery very much yesterday. I had a fantastic time at the nursery; I loved working with the children and the entire team. Everything felt so natural and professional—it was as if I had been working there for ten years.
The location was perfect for me as well. Living in South Kensington (SW7), it was only a 20-minute bus ride. Also, I was told they have another branch in Pimlico, which is also very convenient and close to me.
If they need me in the future, i would love to go back again
