What education support work with Tezlom is really like
Supporting a child through a school day is quieter work than people imagine. It is sitting beside a young person who has decided today is not the day, and staying calm. It is noticing the moment before things escalate rather than after. It is helping someone take part in a lesson they had written themselves out of. Nobody claps, and it matters enormously.
Most of our education staff came to it from care or support work, and found the skills transferred better than they expected. Patience, consistency, reading a room, keeping your head when someone else has lost theirs. If that is you, we will find you work in a setting that suits you, with weekly pay, free training, and a local branch that answers the phone.
We will also tell you honestly what a placement involves before you accept it. A one-to-one with a young person with complex needs is a very different day to general classroom support, and you deserve to know which one you are walking into.

Safer Recruitment in Education, followed properly
If you run a school, a college or a specialist setting, the person we send you is standing in front of your children. We treat that exactly as seriously as you do. Every Tezlom worker placed in education carries an Enhanced Child Workforce DBS, full Safer Recruitment in Education referencing covering the last five years, verified identity and right-to-work documents, and current mandatory training, all completed before their first day. If there is a gap we cannot account for, they do not go out. There is no version of this where we take a chance.
We cover day-to-day absence, long-term placements such as maternity and sickness cover, and permanent recruitment where you would rather someone joined you properly. Every branch runs a 24/7 out-of-hours service, so an early call about a support assistant off sick reaches a person, not a voicemail.
FAQs
What education staff does Tezlom supply?
SEN teaching assistants, learning support assistants, one-to-one support workers, behaviour support staff, and school support staff including administration, catering, caretaking and drivers. We supply support roles rather than qualified teachers.
Do you follow Safer Recruitment in Education guidance?
Yes. Every education placement follows Safer Recruitment in Education guidance: Enhanced Child Workforce DBS, full reference verification covering the last five years, identity and right-to-work checks, and a face-to-face interview before anyone is put forward.
Can you cover day-to-day absence as well as long-term placements?
Yes. We cover day-to-day absence, planned long-term cover such as maternity or sickness, and permanent placements. Every branch runs a 24/7 out-of-hours service, so a call at 7am about a support assistant who has gone off sick is a normal morning for us.
What experience do your education support staff have?
Everyone we place into a school or college has real experience supporting children or young people, whether that came from a classroom, a children's home, a supported living service or specialist provision. We will always be honest with you about someone's background before they start.
Do you work with specialist SEN provision?
Yes. A good part of our education work is SEN and specialist provision, including staff experienced in autism, complex needs, communication difficulties and behaviour that challenges. Tell your local branch what your setting needs and they will be straight with you about what they can provide.
How do I request education staff?
Call your local Tezlom branch. They will talk through the role, the setting and the young people involved, then come back to you with people who actually fit, not just whoever is available.
