Job Title: Chemistry Teacher – Secondary School
Location: Birmingham
Start Date: ASAP
Contract: Full-time, Long-term
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
-----------------------------------
Love a good experiment… and a classroom where things actually run smoothly?
We’re working with a welcoming, mainstream secondary school in Birmingham that’s looking for a Chemistry Teacher to join them ASAP. This is a full-time, long-term role with the chance to really settle in, build relationships, and make your mark.
If you’re after a school where you can focus on sparking curiosity, not just managing behaviour, this could be just the one.
-----------------------------------
What’s the school like?
No chaos, no guesswork, just a well-run environment where teachers are supported to do what they do best.
* Supportive SLT who value their staff (and show it)
* A collaborative Science department with shared resources
* Clear behaviour systems that are actually followed
* Students who respond well to structure and engaging teaching
-----------------------------------
What you’ll be doing:
* Teaching Chemistry across KS3 and KS4 (KS5 if you fancy it)
* Delivering lessons that bring science to life, practicals included
* Supporting students of all abilities to build confidence and understanding
* Creating a positive, focused learning environment
* Marking and assessment in line with school expectations
-----------------------------------
What we’re looking for:
* UK QTS or equivalent
* Experience teaching Chemistry in a secondary setting
* Strong classroom presence and behaviour management
* Someone who can hit the ground running and build rapport quickly
* A teacher who can make the periodic table feel a bit less… intimidating
-----------------------------------
Why this role stands out:
This isn’t a quick fill or a “see how it goes” placement. It’s a proper long-term opportunity in a school that’s organised, supportive, and genuinely pleased to have you on board.
Great for experienced teachers wanting consistency, or ECTs who want guidance and a solid start.
-----------------------------------
Why work with Protocol Education?
* Weekly pay through PAYE, no umbrella faff
* FREE access to our CPD Academy
* Ongoing support from a friendly, dedicated consultant
* Opportunities across mainstream and SEND settings
* Simple, stress-free registration
