About the Business

Zest Education was founded by Brad Johnson, who has a penchant for brightly coloured shirts and bad jokes. Having gained extensive experience at leading education recruitment consultancies across Birmingham, Brad decided to take his knowledge and passion for the industry to the next level. In 2014, he set up Zest Education to bring that breath of fresh air to the market.

Our consultants are always friendly and approachable and will do everything they can to put you at ease. We’re ‘people people’ that love working in partnership with schools and the best teaching talent from across the Midlands.

We believe that every day should be a fulfilling adventure for pupils, candidates and our schools – full of new opportunities, challenges and living life to the fullest.

What drives us is the knowledge that with every placement, we’re changing people’s lives. So, whilst we enjoy being lighthearted from time to time, such a big responsibility means that we take our work very seriously. We are always fully committed to safeguarding and attention to detail, and pride ourselves on being professional in all possible situations.

We believe in pure honesty at all times. Schools need the right person for the job, and candidates want honest feedback in order to perform at their best. By being completely transparent, everybody knows exactly what they’re getting, and students are more likely to get the quality education they need.

Our Approach:

We know that your CV is only part of the story. That’s why we take the time to get to know you, what you’re interested in, what your passions are and what you’re looking for. Over the years we’ve covered just about every role within a school, from librarians, mentors and office staff, to support assistants, cover supervisors and teachers. And we thrive on helping with each and every one.

For us, there are fewer things more satisfying in life than helping an aspiring teacher to realise their dream of becoming a fully qualified teacher. Not only are we able to offer you work and further experience within schools and academies, but with our many years’ of industry experience, we can advise you on effective learning strategies, behaviour management and even routes into teaching.

How we work in four easy steps:

1. We register you. You get to meet your own designated consultant to discuss in detail the local areas, specific schools, work hours and subjects/specialisms you prefer to work in.

2. We put you forward for relevant positions.

3. You decide what’s best for you and hey presto! You start working.

4. You get paid (on a weekly basis).
