Long term/ permanent vacancies

If you’re an Early Career Teacher wondering what comes next, we’ve got good news. September roles are open—and they’re waiting for someone like you.

Whether you want to explore a few different schools or you're ready to find the one that feels just right, we’re here to help. From day-to-day supply to long-term roles (and even permanent posts), we’ve got options.

Why start with supply?
Many ECTs begin their journey in supply roles—it’s a great way to try out different settings, build confidence, and get a real feel for where you’d thrive. And more often than not, those short-term bookings turn into something longer-term. Schools love to keep teachers they click with!

What you’ll get with Protocol Education:

• Weekly pay through PAYE (no umbrella hassle)

• FREE access to our CPD Academy (yes, including Thrive training!)

• Your own consultant cheering you on

• Interview prep, job advice, and real talk—no scripts here

• A chance to explore different year groups and school cultures

You’ll also be joining a network of educators who’ve stood where you’re standing. We’ve got teachers on our team who’ve been through the ECT years—they’ll have your back with guidance and a few tips for your first week.

Give us a ring or drop us a message. Let’s chat about what you’re after and get your teaching journey started—with support, not stress.
