We’re working with a welcoming South Bristol Secondary School looking for an enthusiastic History teacher to step into a maternity cover role from April. This is a brilliant opportunity to build confidence, settle into one school and really get to know your classes, without the pressure of a permanent contract - maternity cover offers networking and flexibility. When your maternity role ends, Protocool Education garuntees other placements (day-to-day and long-term) in another of our partner schools.
You’ll be joining a friendly English department that values fresh ideas, strong relationships and calm, consistent teaching.
Why this role is a great next step
• Teach in one school, with continuity and routine
• Build confidence across KS3 and KS4 English
• Gain hands-on experience that strengthens your CV fast
• Feel supported by a school that understands ECT and FQT journeys
• Weekly PAYE pay and access to ongoing CPD
Your role
• Teaching English across KS3 and KS4, including literature, language and GCSE preparation
• Delivering engaging lessons that follow the department’s plans and schemes
• Creating a positive, focused classroom where pupils feel supported
• Working closely with the English team and wider school staff
Who we’re looking for
• ECTs and FQTs with a PGCE
• Confident, engaging communicators with a love of History
• Teachers keen to learn, reflect and grow
• Professionals who bring warmth, energy and consistency to the classroom
Why maternity cover works so well
Maternity roles offer the best of both worlds. You get stability, relationships and real impact, while gaining experience that often leads to longer-term opportunities. It’s a brilliant way to explore school life, strengthen your practice and decide what you want next. Our team of consultants work to find a role you can step into as soon as the maternity cover finishes
Why work with Protocol Education
• Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella deductions
• A dedicated local consultant who actually listens
• Free CPD and coaching through our CPD Academy
• Free Thrive training, a brilliant wellbeing qualification schools love
• Opportunities across mainstream, SEND and alternative settings
