Job Published: 08 August 2025

Got a background in coaching, PE, or sports leadership? Fancy using your energy and teamwork skills to support pupils both in and out of the classroom?

We’re looking for Teaching Assistants with a sporty streak—people who know the power of encouragement, structure, and goal-setting. Whether you're a coach, personal trainer, or just passionate about sport and fitness, your skills can make a real difference in school life.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Supporting pupils with classroom learning and physical activity

  • Leading or assisting with PE lessons, active play, or school sports clubs

  • Mentoring pupils to build confidence, resilience, and teamwork

  • Supporting children 1:1 or in small groups—especially those who thrive through movement

What we’re looking for:

  • Experience working with children or young people in schools, coaching or youth work

  • A calm, confident presence and a positive attitude

  • Strong communication and role model behaviour

  • A flexible, can-do approach to supporting learning in all areas

  • Thrive training is a bonus—but we can offer it for free if not!

The must-haves:

You’ll need an enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or be happy to get one through us—we’ll help make it easy).

Why join Protocol Education?

  • 💷 Weekly pay via PAYE – no umbrella nonsense

  • 🏅 Free CPD including behaviour management and Thrive

  • 🧠 Roles across mainstream and SEND schools

  • 🙌 Local consultants who understand your strengths and match you with the right schools

If you believe sport builds more than muscles—like focus, confidence, and teamwork—then we want to hear from you.
