Finished your PGCE and wondering where you’ll land this September? Protocol Education are working with secondary schools across the region who are planning ahead and asking us to help secure brilliant Early Career Teachers for their Humanities departments, for both full and part time roles.

Whether your specialism is:

• History
• Religious Education
• Geography
• Or wider Humanities

…we’d love to get you connected with our schools and their open vacancies. Most of our partner schools are already interviewing before half term, and the best ECT roles tend to move quickly.

Why work with Protocol Education?

We partner directly with schools who trust us to recruit for their September staffing needs. So instead of spending hours scrolling job boards and firing off applications, you’ll have a consultant matching you with schools that actually fit what you’re looking for.

Looking for:
Strong behaviour policies?
Supportive SLT?
Schools with great mentoring?
A shorter commute?
Somewhere you can grow confidence and enjoy teaching?

What you can expect

As an ECT Humanities Teacher, you’ll:

• Teach engaging lessons across KS3 and KS4
• Build strong classroom relationships and routines
• Deliver lessons that spark curiosity and discussion
• Receive structured mentoring and ECT support
• Join departments that want you to succeed, not just survive

You’ll also have flexibility. Some schools are looking for permanent hires, others want long-term cover with the chance to go permanent later on.

Who this suits

This is perfect for:

• PGCE students finishing this year
• ECTs looking for their first teaching role
• Humanities graduates exploring teacher training routes
• Teachers relocating or looking for a fresh start

If you’re passionate about your subject and want a school where you can actually find your feet properly, we’ll help you get there.

The Protocol Education difference

We know your first teaching role matters. A lot.

That’s why we focus on finding schools where ECTs are supported, valued, and given room to grow, not just fill a timetable.

You’ll also get:

• Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella companies or hidden deductions
• Access to free CPD and classroom training
• Friendly support from a dedicated consultant
• Interview prep and application guidance
• Long-term and permanent opportunities across our partner schools

Schools are already planning staffing for September, and Humanities teachers are in demand. So whether you’ve got your perfect school in mind or haven’t got a clue where to start yet, let’s chat. We’ll help make the process feel a whole lot less overwhelming.
