Education Recruitment Team Lead Location: Nottingham - onsite Type: Full-time Salary: £60-80K OTE If your salary expectations do not meet our banding, please do still apply - salary banding is based on transferable skills, tenure, industry experience, and interview performance What we're building and why Here's the challenge: UK schools spend over £2 billion a year on temporary staff.

Zen Educate is an online platform that gives schools instant access to fully vetted teachers and support staff. Since launching in 2017, we've already saved schools over £30 million, that's gone straight back to where it matters most.

It's an exciting time to join, have a huge impact, and grow alongside us. Looking to make a difference? You'll be joining Zen in a key leadership position. This is an exceptional opportunity for someone looking to apply themselves and make a difference with great responsibility and autonomy to shape the product for years to come. We're still young and you'll play a pivotal role in the growth of the company and team. Responsibilities Responsible for the commercial success of Zen in supporting schools in Nottingham.

Education Recruitment Team Lead Location: Nottingham - onsite Type: Full-time Salary: £60-80K OTE If your salary expectations do not meet our banding, please do still apply - salary banding is based on transferable skills, tenure, industry experience, and interview performance What we're building and why Here's the challenge: UK schools spend over £2 billion a year on temporary staff.

Zen Educate is an online platform that gives schools instant access to fully vetted teachers and support staff. Since launching in 2017, we've already saved schools over £30 million, that's gone straight back to where it matters most. We've just closed a $37m Series B (the biggest EdTech round in Europe last year!), and we're scaling fast in the UK and the US . It's an exciting time to join, have a huge impact, and grow alongside us. Looking to make a difference? You'll be joining Zen in a key leadership position.
