Pay: £163 to £263 per day
Start: ASAP or after half term
Contract: Long term, short term, temp to perm or flexible supply
If you love helping young people understand how humans think, feel and behave, this Psychology role in Longbenton could be the ideal next move for you. The schools we work with are looking for a Psychology specialist who can bring calm, clarity and a bit of spark to lessons that students genuinely find fascinating.
Psychology here is a popular subject. Pupils are curious, motivated and enjoy getting stuck into real-life case studies, ethical questions, cognitive theories and debates about behaviour and brain function. You’ll be joining supportive departments where teachers share resources, communicate well and like to keep things structured without losing the fun.
What you’ll be doing:
• Teaching Psychology at KS4 and potentially KS5, depending on the school
• Delivering engaging lessons that make theories accessible and relatable
• Helping students develop critical thinking, evaluation and analytical writing
• Guiding exam groups through structured revision, practice papers and model answers
• Using consistent routines that make the classroom feel predictable and calm
• Working closely with staff who value teamwork, wellbeing and good communication
What you’ll bring:
• QTS or QTLS
• Strong Psychology subject knowledge and a genuine passion for it
• A clear, thoughtful teaching style that builds confidence
• Strong behaviour management delivered with warmth and fairness
• The ability to make complex ideas feel simple without losing depth
Why Psychology teachers love working with Protocol Education:
• Weekly PAYE pay, always on time and without hidden umbrella deductions
• Free CPD, including behaviour for learning, trauma-informed practice, mental health and SEND
• Access to over 70 online training modules, perfect for anyone teaching exam-heavy subjects
• A dedicated local consultant who understands the schools and genuinely listens to your preferences
• A quick, friendly registration process that doesn’t drag on
• Roles across mainstream, SEND and alternative provision if you want something different
• Referral rewards for recommending other brilliant educators
• Ongoing support with wellbeing, placements and professional development
Why this role matters:
Psychology gives young people a window into themselves, their relationships and the world around them. You’ll be helping students make sense of emotions, behaviour and human motivation at a time in their lives when everything feels a bit intense. It’s a subject where a great teacher can make a truly lasting impact.
If you’re ready to teach in a school that values both your subject knowledge and your humanity, let’s find the right timetable for you.
