Protocol Education have long relationships with secondary schools across North Somerset, who rely on us to recruit motivated, enthusiastic Maths specialists who want to build their classroom experience, strengthen behaviour management, and connect/network with great local schools. Our schools mainly come to us with long-term roles (e.g. paternity and maternity) which can lead to permeant positions. Initial day-to-day cover allows you to create relationships and find the right school for you.
Whether you’re an ECT building your CV or an experienced teacher seeking flexible work across varied settings, this role allows you to teach in schools that fit your availability and location. Our educators work anywhere between 2–5 days per week and often secure long-term roles within a few weeks. Work with Protocol education can remain flexible and day-to-day, or help you explore options before going into your dream long-term role.
