University Students - Cover Supervisor Work in Secondary

Protocol Education works with secondary schools across Bristol and Somerset to provide confident, reliable Cover Supervisors (Unqualified Supply Teachers). We're looking for University students who want flexible, paid work in schools near where you live (average commute time is 30 minutes), that fits around university commitments while developing valuable leadership, communication and people-management skills. We regularly work with students from the University of Bristol and UWE Bristol, and others, with many progressing into long-term school placements or teacher training. Our best Cover Supervisors (Unqualified Supply Teachers) are friendly, always making good impressions on those around them. Our best Cover Supervisors are naturally confident with children and teenagers; you will be outgoing and calm, and have a resilience rooted in emotional intelligence and empathy. If you lack experience, we are eager to have you begin as a Teaching Assistant, and work your way up to Cover Supervisor bookings.
