Protocol Education is working in partnership with primary schools across South Bristol to support Geography and History graduates who are curious about a future in education.
If you’ve recently completed your degree, or you’re exploring what teaching might look like in practice, this is a brilliant way to gain hands-on classroom experience while making a real difference to young people.
Your subject knowledge, curiosity about the world and understanding of people, places and the past are hugely valuable in schools. Graduates in humanities often bring strong communication skills, empathy, organisation and the ability to make learning meaningful and relevant, all things children respond to.
The role
You’ll be supporting pupils in the classroom, working one-to-one or in small groups to help them stay engaged, build confidence and access their learning. This could include supporting literacy, topic work, discussion-based learning or helping pupils who need a bit of extra encouragement or structure.
You’ll work alongside experienced teachers, gaining insight into behaviour management, lesson delivery and school life, making this an ideal role if you’re considering teacher training in the future.
Progress here looks like confidence, curiosity and connection, not just test scores.
