Secondary Teachers

Whatever your subject, we've got students who need you—and a consultant who gets it.

Dreaming of a role where your timetable actually makes sense, your days feel energising, and your pay reflects your value? Step this way. We’re Protocol Education, and we’re on the lookout for brilliant teachers across every secondary subject to join our thriving Tyne & Wear network.

• More money in your pocket. We’ll beat your current agency’s rate—no faff, no fuss.

• Weekly PAYE pay. No umbrella companies. Ever.

• Pick your pace. Want full-time? Cool. Prefer flexible days around the chaos of life? Even better.

• Roles to suit you. Long-term, daily supply, permanent—you name it.

• Supportive, not salesy. Our consultants are humans who care. And call you back.

• Free CPD—including Thrive. We’ll even train you in emotional wellbeing support, on us.

• Quick, no-nonsense registration. You do your bit, we’ll do ours.

We’ve got secondary schools waiting across Tyne & Wear—covering areas like:

• Newcastle – City buzz, river views, and schools with serious character.

• Gateshead – Friendly staff rooms, fab leadership, and a real sense of community.

• Sunderland – Seaside schools, thriving academies, and warm welcomes guaranteed.

• South Shields & North Shields – Coastal charm meets classroom calm.

• Washington – Tidy commutes and tight-knit school cultures.

• Tynemouth, Whitley Bay, and beyond – Beaches, students, and brilliant behaviour.

Wherever you’re based, we’ve got a school that matches your vibe.

• Early Career Teachers who want support (and not be chucked in at the deep end).

• Experienced Teachers who are done with late-night planning and clipboard managers.

• Part-time pros looking for balance.

• Teachers seeking fresh starts, career changes, or flexible routes back in.

We’ll keep it simple. If you teach it, we’ll place it. If you’re not Thrive-trained yet, we’ll even sort that for free—schools love it, and so will you.

Drop us a message or give us a ring. You bring the passion, we’ll bring the schools (and better pay).
