Zen Educate Reviews 

I am leaving this review to give honest and constructive feedback based on my experience working with this agency for over a year.

During this time, I have consistently experienced poor and inconsistent communication. My stated preferences regarding location and availability have frequently been overlooked, resulting in unsuitable job alerts, while local opportunities have not been communicated clearly or reliably.

There has also been a noticeable lack of staff support. Calls often feel rushed, return calls are not prioritised, and concerns are not followed up in a way that makes staff feel valued or properly supported.

I understand agencies operate under pressure, however clearer communication, respect for worker preferences, and a more professional level of staff care would significantly improve the experience.

I hope this feedback is taken constructively and leads to meaningful improvement.

Very good Mercia Academy and Will Dickinson is very professional

Zen (especially Molly & Ben in Truro) have been great at finding the right sort of work for me recently.

Rachael was very helpful in finding me a placement that is right for me and she communicates all changes effectively.

The onboarding process is smooth and straightforward. Clearly communicating your requirements helps you get placed in the role you’re aiming for.

I’m happy to be part of zen educate friendly app and helpful staff no pressure of any type ,would like to be with zen for longer , an understanding agency ☺️

Zen have been fantastic in listening to my needs and have been very supportive in finding me appropriate roles.

Great school lovely staff and students, lessons and 1:1 cover of each child was very well planned out.

If you are thinking about choosing a new supply agency to support more flexible working opportunities - look no further! Very friendly team - able to accommodate your teaching preference like specific year groups or areas/schools you want to be considered for. There are lots of daily supply opportunities and also FT/PT longer term roles offered (if that's your bag!) I have been very happy with all my roles so far and I know I will always be well supported by the wonderful Zen team.

I appreciate the great work of this agency. I am happy that they give us work when wr tell them about our availability.

I had an interview scheduled but I needed to fill out a job application first and in order to do that I had to agree to all the policies and the handbook. The handbook says that for a year after leaving an assignment I can't have any contact with any of the other staff. That told me that I'm not allowed to date or even make friends with other staff while I'm there because once I leave the assignment I I can't see them again. How awful!

It has been great working for Zen Educate. They are very professional, organized, and payments are always made on the agreed date. I highly recommend them.

Staff were very friendly and I felt part of the team. Enjoyed working with them and the kids.

Hi, this is Saleha Zainab from Zen Educate. I'm thrilled to share my experience after working with them for a couple of months. Honestly, Zen Educate is the best company I've worked with in this field. Initially, I was hesitant and confused, but the team's incredible energy, calmness, and cooperative spirit immediately put me at ease. They guided me through the entire process, from onboarding to my first day, with exceptional support. I've completed several shifts and thoroughly enjoyed the work. The team is quick to respond, incredibly helpful, patient, and calm. I'm definitely looking forward to continuing with Zen Educate and hope to stay with them for a long time. Thank you, Zen Educate!"

There is always work around me which suits my profile . The schools I have worked so far are all excellent.

Zen has been very supportive and helpful! Work in Cardiff and the team is great.

Staff was friendly and professional and helpful at putting me through.

Ever since the first phone call I had with Josh, the communication had been great, keeping me up to date with what I needed to do on my profile to getting schools for me to go in and work at.
