M1-UP3 - Pay Scales
Start Date: September 2026 (or sooner if available)
Contract: Full-time, Permanent
-----------------------------------
Love Maths? Love seeing that lightbulb moment? This one’s for you
We’re working with a forward-thinking secondary school in Newham looking for a Maths Teacher who can bring energy, clarity, and a bit of personality to the classroom.
This isn’t a “keep your head down and get through the scheme of work” kind of place. It’s a school where Maths is brought to life, where pupils are encouraged to think, question, and actually enjoy the subject.
Whether you’re an ECT finding your feet or an experienced teacher ready for a fresh start, you’ll be supported, trusted, and genuinely valued here.
-----------------------------------
What you’ll be walking into:
* A well-resourced Maths department that shares ideas (and resources, no gatekeeping here)
* Supportive SLT who understand real classroom challenges
* Clear behaviour systems, so you can focus on teaching, not firefighting
* A diverse, vibrant student community with plenty of character
* Ongoing CPD and progression opportunities if you’re looking to grow
-----------------------------------
Your role:
* Teach Maths across KS3 and KS4 (KS5 available if that’s your thing)
* Plan and deliver engaging lessons that actually stick
* Track progress and support pupils to reach their potential
* Build strong relationships, the kind that make pupils want to show up and try
-----------------------------------
We’re looking for someone who:
* Holds UK QTS (or is on track to achieve it)
* Knows how to make Maths make sense, even on a Friday afternoon
* Brings a positive, calm presence into the classroom
* Wants to be part of a team, not just a timetable
-----------------------------------
Why work with Protocol Education?
* Weekly pay through PAYE, no umbrella faff
* Free access to our CPD Academy, including Thrive training
* A dedicated consultant who actually listens to what you want
* Roles in schools that match your style, not just your CV
-----------------------------------
A quick one… are you Thrive trained?
If not, no stress. We offer free Thrive training, which is a brilliant way to build your behaviour and wellbeing toolkit, and schools love it. Definitely worth having in your back pocket.
