Location: Croydon
Job Type: Permanent
Reference: 311031099
Salary: £37,868 - £52,218/annum
Job Published: 07 May 2026

Croydon classrooms are getting ready for a fresh September start, and they’re looking for brilliant teachers who are ready to make a real difference from day one.

We’re working in partnership with a number of welcoming, well-led primary schools across Croydon, supporting their September permanent recruitment plans and helping them secure the right educators early, so they can head into the new term feeling fully prepared.

We’re working with schools across EYFS and KS2 who are actively looking for permanent teachers. Whether you’re an experienced classroom pro or an ECT ready to take your first big step, there’s a school here ready to back you.

What you can expect:
✨ Permanent teaching roles starting September
✨ Supportive SLTs who actually support (not just say they do)
✨ Friendly, collaborative staff teams
✨ Pupils who keep every day interesting in the best way
✨ Real opportunities to grow your career, not just fill a timetable

You’ll need:
• UK QTS (or completing your ECT year this summer)
• A positive, adaptable approach to classroom life
• The confidence to build strong routines and relationships
• A genuine passion for helping children thrive

Why Protocol Education?
We don’t just match CVs to classrooms. We get to know you properly, what you’re looking for, what makes you tick, and we connect you with schools where you’ll actually feel like you belong.

You’ll also get:
• A dedicated consultant who has been supporting Croydon schools for over 15 years
• Interview and CV support so you feel fully prepped 
• Roles that genuinely fit your goals, not just “what’s available”

Croydon schools are actively planning ahead and looking for teachers who are ready to settle, grow, and stay. If that sounds like your next move, we should talk.
