Zen Educate

CAPH is working with Zen Educate as our preferred partner for supply provision and permanent recruitment support.

Zen Educate's 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 £10m 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.

Zen are safeguarding specialists - all candidates are strictly vetted. All consultants are Safer Recruitment trained and all candidates complete level 2 safeguarding training. Schools can access candidate information and a full vetting pack at any time.

Ahead of the pack on Safeguarding

Keeping children safe is our highest priority. As such, our approach is designed to exceed the DfE guidance as set out in 'Keeping Children Safe in Education'

Zen Educate has created an innovative online tool for managing Single Central Records, designed specifically to meet the rigorous standards of Keeping Children Safe in Education. It not only saves valuable time but also ensures full compliance through automation.

Schools can swiftly identify any gaps in the SCR, streamline the staff vetting process, and generate comprehensive one-click audit trails. This provides unparalleled peace of mind for school administrators, knowing that safeguarding practices are both organised and up to date.
