Salary benchmarks
Our take
With UK schools under immense financial pressure, Zen Educate is providing a smarter approach to education staffing. Recruitment in schools often relies on inefficient and expensive practices. Zen Educate is focused on tackling the pain points in the industry and providing a way to ensure schools get the best teachers possible.
It provides an online platform as an alternative to recruitment agencies, which is the only online platform accredited by the UK's Department of Education, helping schools fill staffing needs quickly and cost-effectively. Schools using the platform have reportedly saved 20-30% on supply cover costs.
Zen also operates Zen Locum, a service aimed at solving similar problems for pharmacies and opticians. This has already seen high uptake with over 500 new joiners a month. The company has also raised significant funding to support acquisitions in the UK and the US, plus the expansion of its operations and offering.
