Checked it out and he still has to be re-elected as Speaker by the new parliament.....

after May 7.

So if he is not confirmed as speaker by the new parliament, he has effectively got a free pass to be your MP for another five years Jim.

Copied from Wiki:
On the 26th of March 2015, the House of Commons defeated a government motion (introduced by former Conservative party leader and House of Commons leader William Hague) to require there to be a secret ballot vote on whether Bercow remain speaker after the 2015 General Election.
