  • At least 2 years' experience supporting children or young people in an educational setting
  • Experience working with children with SEND
  • A patient, caring, and positive approach
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • A genuine passion for helping children succeed

A current Enhanced DBS on the Update Service is preferred, although we can support you with obtaining one if needed.

Why join Protocol Education?

When you join us, you'll be supported from day one with:

  • Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella companies
  • FREE access to our online CPD Academy
  • A dedicated consultant who'll support you throughout your journey
  • Opportunities across mainstream, specialist SEND, and alternative provision schools
  • A simple registration process and local placements
  • A referral scheme where you can earn rewards for recommending friends

If you're ready to use your experience to make a lasting difference in children's lives, we'd love to hear from you.
