Reclaim your weekends.

We’re working with welcoming primary schools across Lewisham who need confident, reliable teachers to step in and keep learning moving. You bring the energy, we’ll bring the bookings.

No endless job hunting. No chasing confirmations. Just flexible work that fits around you.

What flexible really looks like:

• Take time off when you need it, no awkward conversations
• No long-term planning or heavy marking
• A mix of KS1 and KS2 to keep things fresh
• The freedom to balance family, travel, study, or simply a breather

We’re looking for teachers who:

• Hold UK QTS
• Can build rapport quickly, even before the first bell
• Bring calm, confident classroom management
• Enjoy variety and adapting on the go

Whether you’re an experienced teacher ready to step off the full-time treadmill, an ECT building confidence, or a parent returning to the classroom, supply gives you control back.

Why work with Protocol Education?

• Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella companies
• FREE access to our online CPD Academy
• A dedicated local consultant who actually picks up the phone
• Opportunities in mainstream, SEND and alternative settings
