Humanities Graduates, Start Your Journey into Education

Job description

Protocol Education is working in partnership with primary schools in BS3 to support Humanities graduates who are curious about a role in classroom support.

If you've recently completed your degree, or you're exploring what working in a school might look like in practice, this is a brilliant way to gain hands‐on experience as a Learning Support Assistant (LSA) while making a real difference to young people.

Your subject knowledge, curiosity about the world, and understanding of people, places, and the past are hugely valuable in the classroom. Graduates in humanities often bring strong communication skills, empathy, organisation, and the ability to help children engage with learning in meaningful and relevant ways—all things that make you a fantastic LSA.

The roleYou'll be supporting pupils in the classroom, working one-to-one or in small groups to help them stay engaged, build confidence and access their learning. This could include supporting literacy, topic work, discussion‐based learning or helping pupils who need a bit of extra encouragement or structure.

You'll work alongside experienced teachers, gaining insight into behaviour management, lesson delivery and school life, making this an ideal role if you're considering teacher training in the future.

Progress here looks like confidence, curiosity and connection, not just test scores.
