Primary Supply Teacher

Love teaching but not the endless planning, marking and paperwork that seems to follow you through the front door?

Supply teaching could give you the flexibility and work-life balance you’ve been looking for.

Protocol Education is recruiting enthusiastic and committed Primary Teachers to join our team and enjoy the freedom of flexible teaching across Ipswich and the surrounding Suffolk area.

Focus on what you love most — teaching, inspiring pupils and making a difference in the classroom — without the same level of long-term planning, preparation and administration that comes with a permanent teaching role.

• Work when you want to work – choose the days that suit you
• No taking work home – finish your school day and enjoy your evenings
• No long-term planning commitments – arrive, teach and make a difference
• Variety every day – experience different schools, year groups and classroom environments
• Competitive daily rates of pay
• Access to daily supply, long-term and permanent opportunities
• Free CPD-accredited training and professional development
• A dedicated consultant who gets to know your preferences and career goals
• Opportunities across EYFS, KS1 and KS2
• The freedom to decide what type of teaching role works best for you

As a Supply Teacher, you will step into classrooms and provide high-quality teaching and learning in the absence of the usual class teacher.

You could be:

• Delivering pre-planned lessons
• Managing the classroom and maintaining a positive learning environment
• Supporting pupils across different year groups
• Following school policies, routines and safeguarding procedures
• Building positive relationships with pupils and staff
• Adapting quickly to different school environments

And the best part?

When the school day is finished, your work is finished too.

We'd love to hear from qualified Primary Teachers who are:

• Passionate about teaching and inspiring children
• Confident managing a classroom
• Adaptable and comfortable working in different school environments
• Reliable, professional and enthusiastic
• Looking for greater flexibility and a healthier work-life balance

Whether you're an experienced teacher looking for a fresh approach, an ECT building confidence, or simply ready to rediscover what you love about teaching, Protocol Education can help you find the right opportunity.

No piles of books waiting for you.

No Sunday-night planning panic.

No taking your classroom home with you.

Just great teaching, great schools and the flexibility to make your career work around you.
