zen education
Our mission is to change the world of education recruitment. Schools spend over
£2bn a year on agency staff, with over £600m per year of that spent on fees that
go straight to the recruitment agencies. So far, we've saved UK schools over £3m
in supply teaching recruitment costs, and that number grows every day, meaning
the funding can be put back into education within the schools. Using our online
platform, schools have access to hundreds of profiles of fully vetted teachers
and support staff, who they can book at a click of a button. Think Uber for
teachers. Building on the success of Zen Educate, in 2020 we launched Zen Locum
— an online platform that matches locums (temporary workers) with pharmacies and
opticians. With significant early traction we're looking to expand this team to
continue driving growth. We're well-funded by high-profile investors and are led
by start-up veterans behind two of London’s most prominent tech companies.
