Qualified Teacher - Primary

Protocol Education is working closely with friendly, supportive primary schools across South Bristol to support Freshly Qualified Teachers (FQT/ECT) looking for their first or early-career teaching role.

Whether you’re keen on EYFS, KS1 or lower KS2, we work with a range of welcoming schools that are committed to supporting new teachers to grow in confidence, skill and classroom presence.

At Protocol Education, we take time to match you with a school where the ethos, expectations and level of support feel right. You won’t be dropped into a role without guidance. We’re here to help you settle, develop and enjoy teaching.

This is a great opportunity to gain experience, build confidence and find your feet as a primary teacher in a genuinely supportive environment.
