Dance Coaches - Become an Educator Today!

If you’re a dance coach, choreographer, or simply someone with a genuine love of the arts and creativity, this could be a brilliant next step, and Protocol Education would love to hear from you.

If you’ve trained in dance, movement or performance, you already have many of the skills schools value most. Confidence. Presence. Creativity. The ability to engage a room. In this role, you’ll bring those strengths into a primary classroom setting, supporting children in their learning throughout the school day.

This is a classroom-centred position where you’ll work alongside the class teacher, supporting small groups and individual pupils to stay focused, build confidence and engage with their work. Your understanding of expression, routine, body language and emotional awareness can be incredibly powerful in helping children regulate, communicate and feel safe in their learning environment.

There may be opportunities to incorporate creativity into the day, such as supporting movement breaks or confidence-building activities, but your core role will be providing consistent, hands-on classroom support at schools in BS31.

Progress here isn’t just academic. It’s seen in confidence, focus, resilience and connection. If you’re looking for meaningful work where your creative background adds real value, primary education could be the perfect fit.

Get in touch and let’s explore what that could look like for you.
