Introducing the Candidate Lounge

Whether you are looking for daily supply or the next big career move, your Protocol Education Candidate Lounge account will help you to get the most out of your relationship with us.

What can I do with my Candidate Lounge account?

Job Search

Use our Job Search to search, save and apply for any of the live vacancies we have listed on our website in hundreds of schools and nurseries throughout England. Filter according to location, skills, duration or specific keywords to find the perfect role for you, and track your job applications as they progress.

Vacancies are added to our database by our consultants as they are received – so, with your Candidate Lounge account, you can be the first to apply for roles in schools near you.

Online Timesheets

Some schools, nurseries and academies have chosen to use our online timesheet system over paper timesheets. We've designed our online timesheet system to be as straightforward as possible:

• we generate an online timesheet for you and inform you when it is ready
• you log into your Candidate Lounge account and check all the details on the timesheet are correct 
• you submit it for approval by the school

Using your account you can follow the progress of your online timesheets, make queries, and add expense claims (if registered with Key Portfolio®).

If you are unsure whether to use online or paper timesheets for a particular school, please speak to your consultant.

My Diary

Keeping track of your bookings can be complicated when you are undertaking a lot of daily supply work. Your online diary helps you to manage these future bookings, and also to look back on work you have already completed through us.

Use the diary to indicate days that you are not able to accept daily supply work, and also to inform us if you are seeking a new long-term or permanent role at the start of a new term. By keeping your availability for work up-to-date in your diary, you help us to focus our efforts on finding work exactly when you need it.

Documents

Through your account you can submit requests for documents, such as your P45, a statement of service, or a statement of earnings. You can also view the placement documents related to any long-term bookings.

My Details 

If you've changed your address, bank details or any other personal details, update them here to keep our records up-to-date. If you have undertaken any additional work or courses that you think could aid in our job search for you, you can upload a revised version of your CV.
