Job description

Science Teacher (January to Easter)

Location: BS25, North Somerset

Age Group: Secondary (KS3–KS4)

Pay: Paid to scale

Contract: Full-time, January start until Easter

Looking for a short-term Science role where you’ll feel genuinely supported, not just handed the keys and wished luck?

We’re working with a welcoming secondary school in BS25 that’s looking for a Science Teacher to join them from January through to Easter. This is a fantastic opportunity to teach in a school with a really supportive Science department, strong routines, and a team that works collaboratively and looks after each other.

Whether you’re an ECT wanting to build confidence in a settled setting, or an experienced teacher looking for a focused, well‑run short‑term role, this one’s got all the right ingredients.

The Role

You’ll be teaching Science across KS3 and KS4, delivering engaging lessons and becoming part of a department that values teamwork and consistency.

Day‑to‑day responsibilities

• Teaching Science lessons across KS3–KS4

• Following shared schemes of work and department plans

• Creating a calm, positive learning environment

• Managing behaviour with clear, established systems

• Supporting pupils’ understanding across Biology, Chemistry and Physics

• Working closely with a friendly, experienced Science team

This is a great chance to focus on teaching, without unnecessary pressure or chaos.

Who We’re Looking For

• A qualified Science Teacher (ECTs very welcome)

• Confident teaching KS3 and KS4 Science

• A calm, professional approach to behaviour management

• Someone who enjoys working as part of a team

• Availability from January until Easter

If you’re an ECT, this is a brilliant way to strengthen your classroom practice in a supportive environment.

Support & CPD

As part of Protocol Education, you’ll also get access to free CPD through our CPD Academy, including:

• Behaviour management strategies

• Team Teach (de‑escalation training)

• The Thrive Approach, ideal for relationship‑based practice

• Subject‑specific and pedagogy courses

These look great on your CV and genuinely help in the classroom. If you’re not Thrive trained yet, we’ll happily get you booked on.

Why Work with Protocol Education?

• Paid to scale for the duration of the role

• Weekly pay through PAYE, no umbrella surprises

• A dedicated local consultant who actually knows the school

• Honest advice and support throughout the placement

• £50 referral bonus if you recommend a teacher or TA
