Job description

Primary schools across BS31, BA1 and BA2 are on the lookout for brilliant, reliable and adaptable educators who love what they do and genuinely enjoy working with children.

You don't need QTS to make a real difference here. If you've spent time in schools, childcare, coaching, youth work or similar settings, and you're confident leading activities, supporting learning and keeping young minds engaged, we'd love to hear from you. Experience with SEN or SEMH is a real bonus, but not a dealbreaker.

You’ll be stepping into friendly, welcoming school communities where teamwork is everything. Every adult in the room matters, and your contribution helps shape a positive, enriching day for every pupil. Whether you’re covering lessons, supporting small groups or working alongside class teachers, you'll help keep learning purposeful, structured and, most importantly, enjoyable.

At Protocol Education, we take the time to get to know you properly. What you're great at, what you enjoy, and how you like to work. From there, we match you with schools where you can really settle in and thrive, whether that’s short-term flexibility or something longer-term. You'll also have a dedicated consultant by your side throughout, so you're never figuring things out alone.

If you’re passionate about primary education and ready for a role that keeps things varied, rewarding and genuinely fun, this could be just the move you've been looking for.

Why choose Protocol Education?

• Flexible working to suit you, from day-to-day to long-term roles
• Weekly pay, paid per day
• A dedicated consultant who’s got your back and helps you grow
