Do you love teaching, but not the paperwork that follows you home?

At Protocol Education, we're working with a fantastic network of welcoming primary schools across Croydon who are looking for confident, adaptable teachers to cover PPA time, leadership release, and short-term absences.

What your week could look like:

✅ Teaching across EYFS, KS1 and KS2
✅ Delivering engaging pre-planned lessons
✅ Building positive relationships with pupils and staff
✅ Maintaining strong classroom routines and behaviour expectations
✅ Finishing the day knowing you've made a real difference

No lengthy planning. No excessive marking. Just great teaching.

We're looking for teachers who:

✅ Hold UK QTS
✅ Have strong behaviour management skills
✅ Are confident, adaptable and able to hit the ground running
✅ Enjoy working in a variety of school settings
✅ Build rapport quickly with pupils and staff alike

Whether you're an experienced teacher seeking greater flexibility, returning to the classroom, or simply looking to rediscover your enjoyment of teaching, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll receive:
