Rediscover What You Love About Teaching with Protocol Education

Are you a passionate Secondary Teacher looking for greater flexibility, a better work-life balance, or the opportunity to gain experience across a variety of schools?

At Protocol Education, we're working closely with secondary schools across Durham, Sunderland, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Stanley, Seaham and Peterlee who are seeking enthusiastic teachers for both short-term supply cover and long-term teaching opportunities.

Whether you're an experienced teacher looking for a change, an ECT eager to develop your skills, or returning to education after a break, we'd love to help you find a role that suits your career goals and personal circumstances.

Why Choose Supply Teaching?

More and more teachers are choosing supply work because it offers the opportunity to focus on teaching while maintaining greater control over their work-life balance.

Supply teaching allows you to:

✅ Choose when and where you work

✅ Gain experience across a range of schools

✅ Improve your work-life balance

✅ Develop new teaching strategies and approaches

✅ Build confidence in different educational settings

✅ Access long-term positions and permanent opportunities

✅ Expand your professional network

Many of the teachers we support initially start on supply before securing long-term placements or permanent positions within schools they enjoy working in.

Whether you're looking for a few days each week or a full-time long-term position, we can help you find opportunities that work for you.
