Primary PPA Cover Teacher

Protocol Education is working closely with a welcoming primary school in BS4 who is looking for an engaging, reliable and flexible Primary Teacher to provide PPA cover starting after half term.

This is a fantastic opportunity to become a consistent, valued presence within one school community. You’ll be delivering pre planned lessons across the week, stepping confidently into different classrooms while maintaining a calm, purposeful and positive learning environment.

The school is known for its supportive leadership team, collaborative staff culture and strong focus on pupil wellbeing. Children are at the heart of everything they do, and they are looking for a teacher who can build quick rapport, follow planning with confidence and ensure consistency while class teachers are out for their PPA time.

The role may involve covering across different year groups, so adaptability and strong classroom management are essential. In return, you’ll gain valuable experience across the primary phase and become a familiar, trusted face for both pupils and staff.

You’ll also receive ongoing support from your dedicated Protocol consultant throughout the placement, ensuring you feel confident and well supported from day one.
