Looking for a Career Where You Can Make a Difference Every Day?

Have you been thinking about a career in education but aren't sure where to start?

At Protocol Education, we're looking for enthusiastic, motivated individuals to join our team as Entry Level Teaching Assistants. You don't need previous school experience or qualifications to get started. What matters most is your attitude, willingness to learn, and genuine passion for supporting children and young people.

Whether you're a recent graduate, looking for a career change, or have experience in customer service, care, coaching, hospitality or support work, this could be the perfect opportunity to begin a rewarding career in education.

Why Become an Entry Level Teaching Assistant?

Every child learns differently. Some children need a little extra encouragement, while others benefit from additional support to help them reach their full potential.

As an Entry Level Teaching Assistant, you'll play an important role in helping pupils build confidence, develop new skills and enjoy their learning experience.

You'll gain valuable hands-on experience while working alongside experienced teachers and support staff in a school environment.

Your role will involve supporting pupils who require additional help within the classroom, either on a one-to-one basis or in small groups.

You may be:

• Assisting students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
• Helping pupils stay focused, engaged and confident throughout lessons
• Encouraging positive behaviour and participation
• Supporting teachers in creating an inclusive learning environment
