Job description

As an SEN Teacher, you know that success isn't always measured by data sheets or test scores.

Sometimes it's a child joining a lesson independently for the first time. Sometimes it's building confidence, developing communication skills, or helping a pupil achieve something they once believed was beyond their reach.

If you're looking to secure your next role for January while attending trials and interviews during December, Protocol Education can help you find the right opportunity.

We're working with a range of inclusive mainstream schools, specialist provisions, and resource bases across Bristol that are looking to welcome passionate and skilled SEN Teachers for the new year.

Why Work With Protocol Education?

• December trial days and school visits available now
• January 2027 starts in mainstream and specialist settings
• Flexible, long-term, supply, and permanent opportunities
• Competitive daily rates of £150-£165, paid weekly through PAYE
• Access to specialist provisions, resource bases, and inclusive mainstream schools
• Dedicated consultants with SEND recruitment expertise
• Ongoing support throughout your placement
• Free CPD and professional development opportunities
• Easy-to-use booking and timesheet system
• £50 referral bonus when you recommend a teacher
