At Protocol Education, we're working with supportive primary schools across BS31 who are looking for passionate and experienced Phonics Intervention Specialists to help children build the reading skills that unlock the rest of their education.
These roles are perfect for Teaching Assistants, Learning Support Assistants, Intervention Tutors and Early Years practitioners who have experience delivering targeted phonics support and want to make a meaningful difference to children's progress.
Whether you've worked with Read Write Inc, Little Wandle, Letters and Sounds, Jolly Phonics or other structured literacy programmes, your expertise can have a huge impact on pupils who need additional support to develop confidence with reading and communication.
You'll work closely with class teachers and literacy leads to deliver focused one-to-one and small-group interventions, helping children strengthen their decoding, blending, fluency and comprehension skills. Many pupils may require additional support due to SEND, speech and language needs, delayed literacy development or gaps in learning, making this a highly rewarding role where progress is visible and celebrated.
If you're passionate about early literacy, enjoy building confidence in young learners and love seeing those lightbulb moments when learning clicks, we'd love to hear from you.
