Unqualified Supply Teacher BSSecondary

Position: Unqualified Supply Teacher for BS1 Secondary
Protocol Education are working in partnership with a highly respected BS1 secondary school to find confident, capable individuals to join them as a Full-Time Unqualified Supply Teacher, covering staff absences across the school. Their ideal candidate is adaptable and flexible, covering a variety of subjects throughout the day. You are not expected to be a subject specialist, but a pro at managing a classroom and communicating effectively with young people.

Whether you’re a student, recent graduate, career changer or simply exploring a future in education, this is a flexible, rewarding way to step into the classroom and make a genuine difference.

The School

This BS1 secondary school sits in the heart of Bristol and serves a diverse community drawn from across the city. It’s oversubscribed, ambitious, and home to a large, thriving sixth form.

What stands out?

• Rated Good across all areas in its most recent inspection

• High expectations balanced with strong pastoral care

• A clear, well-embedded behaviour system that supports staff

• An ambitious curriculum designed to prepare pupils academically and personally

• Equality and respect woven into everyday school life

• A culture built on strong relationships and clear boundaries

Students are polite, engaged and proud of their school. They transition well, feel supported and are encouraged to aim high. Sixth form students integrate quickly and go on to university, apprenticeships and a wide range of future pathways.

For cover staff, that means clarity. Systems are consistent. Expectations are understood. Support is available. You won’t be walking into chaos, you’ll be stepping into structure, and you are encouraged to utilise the behaviour systems that are there to support you and the students.

The Role

As a Part-Time Unqualified Supply Teacher in this BS1 secondary school, you will:

• Step in for absent teachers across a range of subjects

• Deliver pre-set lessons confidently

• Maintain calm, purposeful classrooms

• Keep pupils engaged and on task

• Build positive relationships with students and staff

Lessons are already prepared. Your focus is presence, behaviour and leadership.

You’ll gain experience across different subjects, work with supportive departments, and quickly become a familiar face in the school community.

Many people who begin on a flexible, day-to-day basis secure longer-term placements within weeks.

Perfect for Students, Graduates and Career Changers

This role works brilliantly if you:

• Are studying and want part-time work with real impact

• Are a recent graduate considering teacher training

• Want classroom experience before a PGCE

• Have experience in retail, hospitality, sport, drama, youth work or care

• Enjoy working with young people and can hold a room with confidence

You don’t need previous teaching experience. Childcare or youth experience is helpful, but what really matters is reliability, resilience and a calm approach.

If you’re confident speaking in front of groups and can think on your feet, you’ll thrive here.
