Graduate Roles in Schools

Graduating this year and not quite sure what’s next? If you want a role that actually means something, builds your confidence, and pays well while you figure things out, you’re in the right place.

We’re working with schools across the North East and looking for graduates from all subject backgrounds to get stuck into education. No teaching qualification needed, just the right attitude and a willingness to learn.

What could your day look like?

No two days are the same, but you could be:

• Supporting in the classroom as a Graduate Teaching Assistant
• Working 1:1 with pupils as a Learning Support Assistant (SEND)
• Helping students stay on track as a Behaviour Mentor
• Leading lessons as a Cover Supervisor
• Supporting your specialist subject, from Maths to PE and everything in between

Real responsibility. Real experience. Real impact.

Why do graduates love this route?

Because it gives you more than just a job:

✔ Paid, hands-on experience straight away
✔ Confidence leading groups and managing behaviour
✔ Strong communication and leadership skills
✔ A chance to genuinely make a difference
✔ A solid stepping stone into teaching, psychology, social care or youth work
✔ Flexibility that works around you

Plenty of our grads go on to teacher training, long-term roles, or permanent positions.

What we’re looking for

You don’t need classroom experience, but you do need to bring:

• Confidence and clear communication
• Reliability and professionalism
• A calm, resilient approach
• A positive attitude
• A genuine interest in working with young people

What you’ll get in return

• £90 – £130 per day (PAYE, no umbrella faff)
• Weekly pay
• Flexible or long-term placements
• Ongoing training in behaviour, SEND and safeguarding
• A dedicated consultant who’s actually on your side
• Full support from registration through to placement

All applicants will require the appropriate qualifications and training for this role. Please see the FAQs on the Protocol Education website for further details.

All pay rates quoted will be inclusive of 12.07% statutory holiday pay. This advert is for a temporary position. In some cases, the option to make this role permanent may become available at a later date.
