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 35 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!
