Are you looking to make a difference in the world of education?

ZigZag Education is a renowned Bristol-based educational publisher created in 1998 by two experienced teachers to provide photocopiable resources that ease teacher workloads and improve student success. Since then, the business has expanded to offer everything from activity worksheets and practice papers to a new interactive eRevision platform.

As a highly dynamic team of approximately 40 staff, we work in a friendly and professional environment. Our goal is to provide high-quality teaching materials throughout the lifecycle of each specification. Therefore, during your time at ZigZag Education you will be supported, motivated and challenged to reach the standards of excellence we expect from ourselves, and teachers and students expect from our resources.

It’s not all about work though. Socialising is also high on our list of priorities! We do everything from paddleboarding and escape rooms to wine tastings and a big Christmas party – leading to a collaborative atmosphere and lasting friendships.

If this sounds like the kind of place you would like to work, impress us with your application. We look forward to welcoming new members to our team!

Access Note: All our offices are on the ground floor and there is free parking, safe cycle storage and convenient bus links available.

Other reasons to work for ZigZag:

Well-thought-out induction and new starter training to help new employees settle in, in addition to the role-specific training provided.
‘New to Bristol’ get-togethers held for those who have moved to the city for the role.
We have an impressive 92% retention rate based on the last five years with an average expected stay at ZigZag being over 10 years – giving us key stability and supporting lifetime friendships made.
‘Flexitime’ allows colleagues to fit in life events around their work – meaning employees in many departments can start early or by 9.30am; finish late or by 4pm.
