Got a background in PE and wondering how to bring that energy into the classroom?
This one’s right up your street.
We’re working with brilliant schools in Bristol who are looking for a Teaching Assistant who can bring enthusiasm, structure, and a bit of bounce to the school day. If you’re used to leading, motivating, and keeping young people engaged, you’ll fit right in.
What you’ll be doing:
Supporting pupils in class and during activities
Helping keep students focused, engaged, and on track
Leading small group sessions, sometimes with a sporty or active twist
Supporting behaviour in a calm, confident way
Getting involved in playground, PE, or extracurricular activities
Why this role works so well for PE backgrounds:
You already know how to lead a group, build rapport quickly, and keep energy levels high. Those skills are gold in a classroom.
Whether it’s encouraging participation, managing behaviour, or boosting confidence, what you’ve learned in sport transfers perfectly.
What the school offers:
A supportive team who value proactive, hands-on staff
Opportunities to get involved in sports and enrichment activities
Training and development to build your classroom skills
A role where you’re active, not stuck behind a desk all day
What we’re looking for:
A background in PE, Sport, Coaching, or similar
Confident, positive, and able to take initiative
Great with young people, firm but fair
A team player who’s happy to get stuck in
What you’ll get with Protocol Education:
Free CPD, including behaviour and SEND training
A consultant who listens and finds roles that suit you
Flexible opportunities in schools that value support staff
