Job description

Your Next Role in an SEN School, No Degree Needed

If you’ve ever thought working in a school meant you needed a teaching degree, here’s the good news, you don’t.

SEN schools are full of incredible people from all backgrounds. From behaviour mentors to learning support assistants, sensory specialists to classroom guides, there are so many ways to make a real difference to children who need calm, patient and consistent adults around them. Your experience, empathy and people skills matter far more than a stack of certificates.

At Protocol Education, we match brilliant humans with SEN roles where they can genuinely shine. You might be supporting a pupil one-to-one, helping a class stay settled through sensory activities, or guiding young people through their daily routines. Whatever the role, you’ll be part of something that really counts.

Free Training That Helps You Thrive

We’ll give you the tools and confidence you need before you step into the classroom.

• Behaviour support in SEN settings
• De‑escalation and trauma‑informed practice
• Thrive training to support emotional wellbeing
• Understanding autism, ADHD and complex needs

It’s all online, flexible, and built to help you feel prepared from day one.

Why Join Protocol Education?

• Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella companies
• Friendly local consultants who actually listen
• Flexible roles across specialist and mainstream SEN settings
• Ongoing training to help you grow and feel confident
• Opportunities to work in a variety of SEN schools, units and alternative provisions
