Fresh out of training and ready to dive in? We’ve got classrooms waiting.

At Protocol Education, we know the first year after qualifying can feel like a whirlwind. That’s why we offer ECTs the chance to explore a variety of schools across Lewisham—without the pressure of jumping straight into a permanent role.

You’ll build confidence, test out different settings, and get a feel for what kind of school suits you—all while being fully supported by our team and earning regular pay.

What’s in it for you:

• Experience across EYFS, KS1 and KS2 in real-life classrooms

• Weekly PAYE pay – no umbrella deductions

• Personal support from a friendly consultant (who actually listens!)

• FREE access to our CPD Academy + Thrive training

• Flexibility – choose your days while building your career

What we’re looking for:

• Newly qualified teachers with UK QTS

• Enthusiastic and adaptable educators

• A willingness to try new things and grow from each day

• An enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or we can help with that)

This is the perfect stepping stone if you’re not quite ready to commit to one school—or just want to boost your confidence before settling into a long-term post.

Want to build your teaching toolkit in Lewisham?
