Do you have a knack for motivating teenagers, a good sense of humour, and a genuine passion for helping young people succeed?
Then we'd love to hear from you! Protocol Education is looking for a Specialist Secondary Support Assistant to join one of our partner schools in Wakefield from September 2025. This is your chance to make a real difference to students who need that extra support — whether it's with their learning, confidence, or navigating the ups and downs of secondary school life.

What's the role all about?

You'll be the extra pair of hands (and ears!) in the classroom, working closely with teachers and support staff to help students thrive. From one-to-one support to small group sessions, you'll be someone they can trust, relate to, and look up to — even if they pretend not to!

A typical day might include:

• Supporting students in lessons, ensuring they stay on track and feel confident.
• Delivering small group interventions or mentoring sessions.
• Helping to implement individual learning or behaviour plans.
