We are incredibly proud to share that Zen Educate is now a Certified B Corporation™! We are amongst fewer than 0.5% of businesses worldwide who have earned this and are leading the way on business for the benefit of our community. Earning it wasn't simple. It required an independent audit by B Lab and B Lab UK of how we operate across every area of our business, from how we recruit and support educators to how we show up for the schools we serve. We're proud to say we passed with flying colours. For the schools we partner with, this is independent proof that every educator we place in your classrooms has been rigorously vetted, and that our commitment to reliable, cost-effective staffing has been independently verified. For the educators we employ, this is proof that how we recruit, place, and support you is held to the highest standards of fairness, transparency, and care. And the results speak for themselves: 💰 £37.5M+ saved for school partners 👩🏫 11,000,000+ hours of classroom instruction delivered by 25,000+ Zen educators 📈 94% average fill rate across more than 5,000 school partners nationwide We're on the right path, and this only deepens our commitment to keep going.

About us
At Zen, we’re a certified B Corp transforming how schools and educators connect, because every student deserves consistent access to excellent teaching. Zen Educate is a digital staffing platform matching teachers, teaching assistants (also known as paraprofessionals or classroom aides), special education support staff, substitute and supply teachers, early years and early childhood educators, and wider school support staff with schools. By replacing traditional agency intermediaries with smart matching technology, Zen Educate charges roughly half the typical agency fee - so educators earn more and schools save money. Over 13,000 educators have found roles through Zen Educate, and 2,000+ schools actively book staff through the platform every month. The matching engine fills over 97% of short-term daily substitute and supply teacher requests. Educators sign up online, complete safeguarding and background checks, set preferences in the app, and get matched to daily, long-term, or permanent roles. Founded in 2017, Zen Educate is an accredited social enterprise and government-approved education staffing supplier, backed by Series B funding led by Round2 Capital and grown through the acquisitions of Opus Education, Aquinas Education, and AK Education. Proud to be a Certified B Corp.

What happens when you put 🇬🇧UK MAT CEOs and 🇺🇸US District Superintendents in the same room? Real magic. During BETT week in London, we had the privilege of facilitating a leadership exchange that spanned the Atlantic. Despite the differences in education systems, it quickly became clear that the core mission, and the challenges facing modern education, are universal. At Zen Educate, we believe our role goes beyond being a platform; it’s about serving as a bridge for school leaders and the wider education system. We are committed to creating these spaces where leaders can step away from the noise to share honest experiences, knowledge, and solutions. The conversation was a powerful reminder that the best insights often come from simply getting the right people in the room. Want to be in the room for our next leadership forum? Drop us a DM!
