Job description

Overview

Looking for a classroom where you can truly teach, not just manage? We’ve got a school that gets it.

We’re working with a highly regarded independent preparatory school in Lewisham to find a fully qualified, experienced teacher to join their team. With smaller class sizes, engaged pupils, and a strong focus on pastoral care, this is a fantastic opportunity to teach with purpose in a school that values depth over data.

What you’ll be doing

• Delivering creative, challenging lessons to motivated pupils in Key Stage 1 or 2
• Working collaboratively with experienced colleagues and supportive SLT
• Contributing to wider school life—assemblies, clubs, events
• Providing outstanding academic and pastoral support tailored to individual learners

What we’re looking for

• UK QTS and recent teaching experience at primary level
• A creative, confident approach to teaching and learning
• High expectations for yourself and your pupils
• A genuine interest in supporting pupils’ all-round development

This is ideal if you

• Want to move away from high-pressure environments
• Value autonomy and professionalism in your teaching
• Are excited by a school community that champions curiosity, kindness, and academic excellence

What you’ll get with Protocol Education

• Competitive daily pay via PAYE (no umbrella costs)
• Access to our online CPD Academy, including leadership and curriculum training
• Support from a consultant who understands independent schools
• A long-term role in a setting that values your experience and skill
