Teacher of English in Devizes

We are now at the time of year where schools are looking to fill and complete their September staffing teams. Protocol Education are working with a mix of mainstream secondary schools and SEN/SEMH settings across Wiltshire who are looking for English Teachers and subject specialists ready to start in September 2026.

Whether you’re finishing your ECT year, looking for a fresh start, or wanting a role that gives you more balance and flexibility, we’ve got schools ready to welcome you. Full-time and part-time opportunities are available, with roles to suit different teaching styles, experience levels, and career goals. QTS is paid to scale.

Schools are keen to meet:

• ECTs looking for supportive schools where they can properly find their feet
• Experienced English teachers
• Subject specialists who love teaching English
• Flexible educators wanting part-time or supply options that work around life
• Teachers looking to move into SEN or alternative provision settings

What the roles involve:

You’ll be delivering engaging English lessons that build confidence, curiosity, and real understanding in the classroom. Depending on the role, this could include full teaching responsibilities such as planning, marking, and assessments, or more flexible cover opportunities where you can focus purely on teaching. There’s plenty of variety too, from high-performing secondary schools to specialist SEN settings where smaller wins make a huge difference.

Looking for something permanent? We can support you with that too. Many educators choose to work with us in full-time long-term roles through Protocol Education, while others use us to help secure permanent positions directly with schools. Whether you want flexibility, stability, or your next long-term home, we’ll help you find the right fit.
