Flexible, Long-term & Permanent Opportunities | Protocol Education

You're more than "just" a Teaching Assistant.

You're the calm in the busy moments. The biggest cheerleader in the classroom. The one who spots when a child needs a little extra encouragement, before anyone else does.

If you're a qualified Level 3 Teaching Assistant looking for your next opportunity, we'd love to help you find a school where you're genuinely valued.

At Protocol Education, we work with welcoming primary, secondary and SEND schools that are looking for brilliant support staff who make a real difference every single day.

Whether you're looking for flexible supply work, a long-term placement or a permanent role, we'll help you find something that fits around your life, not the other way round.

What you'll be doing

Every day is different, but you could be:

  • Supporting pupils in the classroom to help them thrive
  • Working one-to-one or with small groups to build confidence and progress
  • Helping create a positive, engaging learning environment
  • Supporting children with SEND, where required
  • Working alongside teachers to deliver exciting lessons
  • Being the reassuring face that helps children enjoy coming to school

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

  • A recognised Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification
  • Experience working with children in a school or educational setting
  • A positive, caring and proactive approach
  • Great communication skills and a genuine love of helping children succeed
  • An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or you're happy to apply for one

Bonus points if you have:

  • SEND experience
  • Behaviour support experience
  • Intervention or phonics knowledge
  • Thrive training
