Friendly and helpful staff
I’ve always found the staff at Zen to be friendly and keen to match me with roles that suit my skill set.
Absolutely Amazing
Absolutely Amazing. Best agency I’ve been with they’ve got me work within two weeks. I’m so happy in the job I’m in. Couldn’t thank them enough. Best thing was signing up to Zen

The app is easy to use and a great way to work. A member of staff sometimes follows up with a call to confirm arrival time.

The use of the App makes Zen stand out from other agencies. I love the concept of being able to look at my phone see a job, check it out and click accept. I enjoy the block bookings and also having flexibility which was the reason behind me breaking out of a permanent contract.
The downfall is last minute cancellations which can be anytime up to the deadline of arrival at the school. This doesn’t offer much protection, reliability or respect to staff as we could have found work elsewhere for that day. This can be frustrating having turned down other work for the same day. Thankfully these situations are few and far between so overall a great experience.

Very friendly and reasonable team at Zen. Have always had a job working as a TA through Zen for over a year now except some one or two days I couldn’t get one and I’m happy to say have recently been offered a long term role in a school through Zen. Give them a chance and you won’t regret it

My experience at Zen
While it’s only been a year since I’ve started with Zen, I’ve had amazing experiences within the team as well as in the school I have worked with. The staff from the agency and school are extremely friendly, helpful, and supportive, making it easy for me to work within the agency and find my way around. I am grateful for the experience and opportunities I have received through the agency, the skills I have gained, and friends i’ve made along the way.
An easier and faster facility
Zen has made accessing to the agency easier and faster by updating your availability online rather than calling the agency.
Also, you can see your shifts online and access to a variety of free online trainings.
• Professional, Supportive, and Inspiring
The staff at Zen are consistently attentive listeners who treat their employees with sincerity and respect. They make every effort to ensure that their team members feel satisfied with the responsibilities entrusted to them.
Ongoing communication is truly the key to success, and this is something I have personally experienced with them.
They also provide us with training from time to time in ways that align with our roles, which undoubtedly makes a meaningful difference.
Many thanks for all the efforts they continually make.
Special thanks to Matt Pyrke for his continuous support.

Review
I worked with Zen Educate for four years and have had positive experience throughout that time. The team has made a genuine effort to match my skills and professional preferences with appropriate roles and schools. They also offer many useful online courses to help keep members aligned with permanent school staff.
I highly recommend Zen Educate to individuals seeking reliable and flexible jobs. While there are some challenges, such as last-minute cancellations by schools, the overall experience with the agency has been professional and supportive.
Zen Educate is the best
Sincerely speaking, Zen Educate is the best. I have worked with Zen Educate for the past two years, and my experience has been excellent.
I highly appreciate Jaymie for the way he treats his staff—his thoughtfulness and professionalism are truly commendable. Caroline is also very kind and supportive.
I would highly recommend Zen Educate to anyone seeking a reliable and professional agency.
