Ferryhill | Full Time | September 2026 | £140–£250 per day

Looking for your next challenge?

Protocol Education are recruiting for a KS3 Classroom Teacher to work in a PRU setting in Ferryhill.

This is an opportunity for a teacher who enjoys working with young people, can adapt to different situations and isn't afraid of a challenge.

• Planning and delivering KS3 lessons.
• Differentiating learning according to individual needs.
• Adapting your teaching style and resources.
• Creating an engaging and structured learning environment.
• Supporting behaviour and maintaining clear boundaries.
• Developing positive relationships with pupils.
• Encouraging attendance, engagement and participation.
• Supporting pupils to achieve their educational goals.

We're looking for:

• A qualified teacher with QTS.
• KS3 teaching experience.
• Someone confident with lesson planning and delivery.
• A teacher who can adapt quickly.
• Strong classroom management skills.
• A resilient and patient approach.
• Someone passionate about helping children and young people succeed.
• A team player with excellent communication skills.

Experience in PRU, SEMH or alternative provision is desirable but not essential.
