Looking for flexibility, variety, and the chance to build your experience across a range of schools? Work with Protocol Education is a brilliant way to:

• Grow your network – Build relationships with different schools in your area, opening doors to long-term roles or even your dream career in education.
• Have a dedicated team on your side – Our local consultants take the time to get to know you, your strengths, and what you’re looking for. We’ll match you with schools that feel right for you.

• Enjoy genuine flexibility – Choose the days you want to work, whether it’s two or five. We’ll handle the rest.
• Get regular bookings, weekly pay, and ongoing training – All while keeping control of your own schedule.

No prior experience as a Cover Supervisor is required. However, strong candidates will have backgrounds in work with transferable skills. Have you coached a sport? Been a Scout Camp or Summer Camp leader? Have you been in a management position? Held a leadership role in a University society? It's about character more than experience. If you're an eager, outgoing people-person who wants to get into education and really get involved in our school communities, you have the transferable character traits and skills we want to provide to the children in our schools.

We have a high number of schools who want our educators, so you can work in schools very close to you, or travel for the most exciting opportunities for you!

Having a full UK driving license and access to a car is preferred for this role, as it means you will get more work.

• Enthusiastic, eager to get stuck into school life and make a positive impact.
• Flexible and adaptable—able to step into different classrooms with confidence.
• Great communicators who can build quick rapport with students and keep schools updated.
• Professional, reliable, and ready to represent Protocol Education with pride.
• Warm, approachable, and happy to be part of the wider school community.

What you’ll be doing

• Covering lessons across a range of subjects (pre-set work provided, no planning needed!).
• Keeping students engaged and on task.
• Managing behaviour with confidence and calm.
• Supporting schools in maintaining a consistent learning environment.
