## Description Location: Newport Salary: £35,000–£44,000 OTE Type: Full-time     👋 Hi, I’m Clint, Head of Account Management for Wales at Zen Educate, and I’m looking for Account Managers who want to tackle a very real, very important problem: helping schools get the teachers they need, when they need them, without wasting millions on old-school recruitment agencies.
