Pay: Paid to scale from Day 1 for long-term roles
Contract: Full-Time and Part-Time Opportunities Available

Looking for an Early Years teaching role that works around you?

Are you an enthusiastic Early Years Teacher looking for flexibility, a new challenge or your next longer-term teaching opportunity?

Connex Education is working with a range of welcoming primary schools across Sheffield who are looking for dedicated EYFS Teachers to support their pupils through day-to-day supply and longer-term assignments.

Whether you’re looking to enjoy the flexibility of supply teaching, secure a longer-term placement or gain experience across different school settings, we’ll work with you to find opportunities that suit your availability, experience and career goals.

With opportunities available throughout the academic year, now is a great time to explore your next EYFS teaching role in Sheffield.

The Role

As an Early Years Teacher, you’ll help create the foundations for children’s future learning by developing their confidence, curiosity, independence and enthusiasm for school.

Depending on the placement, you will:

• Deliver engaging, curriculum-led learning within the Early Years Foundation Stage

• Establish a positive, nurturing and stimulating classroom environment

• Support children’s academic, social and emotional development

• Build strong and positive relationships with pupils, colleagues and families

• Monitor children’s progress and contribute to ongoing assessment

• Take full classroom responsibility during longer-term placements

For day-to-day supply assignments, lesson planning is not typically required, with schools providing the necessary resources and guidance to help you deliver a successful day.

About the Schools

You’ll have the opportunity to work across a variety of inclusive and community-focused primary schools throughout Sheffield.

Our partner schools offer supportive leadership teams and welcoming staff cultures, helping teachers settle quickly into new environments. They value reliable, adaptable and enthusiastic professionals who can build positive relationships with pupils and make a valuable contribution to school life.

We have both full-time and part-time opportunities available throughout the academic year.

Assignments may include:

• Flexible day-to-day supply work

• Short-term teaching assignments

Many schools are accessible through local transport links, although having access to your own transport may be beneficial depending on the location of individual assignments.
