Your Next Role in a Primary School – No Degree Required
Think you need a teaching degree to work in a primary school? Not quite.
From classroom Teaching Assistants to Learning Mentors, SEN Support to Pupil Intervention staff, there are so many ways to make a real difference in a primary setting. If you’ve got patience, people skills, and a genuine love for helping children grow, you’re already halfway there.
Primary schools are all about those lightbulb moments. Supporting a child as they master phonics, helping a shy pupil find their confidence, guiding a lively Year 4 class back on track after lunch. It’s busy, brilliant, and never boring.
At Protocol Education, we match caring, capable people with primary roles where they can thrive. Whether you’re working 1:1 with a pupil who needs extra reassurance, supporting small group interventions in maths and reading, or keeping the classroom running smoothly alongside the teacher, we’ll find the right fit for you.
Training That’s Free and Built Around You
We don’t just place you and wave goodbye. We set you up to succeed.
You’ll get free access to our CPD Academy, packed with practical, classroom-ready training, including:
✅ Behaviour Management, so you can handle challenges calmly and confidently
✅ How to Be a Brilliant Teaching Assistant, with real-life classroom tips
✅ Thrive Training, to support pupils’ emotional wellbeing
✅ SEN Support, helping every child feel seen and understood
