Maths ECT: Mentored, Paid-to-Scale Roles in Bristol

Protocol Education is working with a wide network of secondary schools across Bristol that are already preparing for September recruitment. We’re supporting schools across BS1, BS2, BS3, BS5, BS6, BS13 and BS14, with a range of opportunities for Maths ECTs looking to secure the right start to their teaching career. Because we work closely with so many schools across the city, we’re able to give you early access to vacancies before they’re widely advertised, arrange interviews quickly, and help match you with schools that suit your teaching style, strengths and career goals.

After 20 working weeks, many of our teachers move onto direct contracts with their placement school. We’re recruiting for:

• Full-time and part-time Maths teaching roles
• Permanant positions
• Long-term opportunities with potential to become permanent
• Roles across KS3 and KS4
• Opportunities in a range of Bristol secondary schools

Many schools are already arranging interviews and trial days before half term, and Maths teachers remain one of the most in-demand subjects across Bristol.

Why work with Protocol Education?

We partner directly with secondary schools who trust us to support their September recruitment. Instead of applying through endless job boards, you’ll have a dedicated consultant helping you find schools that genuinely fit what you’re looking for. We can help you find:

• Paid to scale opportunities
• Supportive Maths departments and experienced mentors
• Schools with strong ECT programmes
• Clear behaviour systems and classroom support
• Opportunities to build confidence in your classroom practice
• Schools where staff wellbeing and development are prioritised

• Plan and deliver engaging lessons that build confidence and problem-solving skills
• Develop strong classroom routines and behaviour management

Some schools are recruiting permanently from September, while others are offering long-term roles with the opportunity to secure a permanent contract later in the academic year.

• PGCE students completing teacher training this year
• Maths ECTs searching for their first teaching role
