Are you an Early Years expert who believes that the first five years are the most important? Join our local primary network as an EYFS Supply Teacher and provide high-quality, nurturing education across Nursery and Reception settings.

Play-Based Impact, Zero Administrative Stress

We are seeking dedicated EYFS Teachers who are masters of "learning through play." This role is perfect for practitioners who love the spontaneity and creativity of the Foundation Stage but want to avoid the time-consuming paperwork of long-term tracking and formal reporting.

• Versatile Placements: Experience the full EYFS spectrum, from supporting sensory play in Nursery to leading Phonics sessions in Reception.
• Child-Led Learning: Use your expertise to turn everyday moments into learning opportunities, following the "Development Matters" framework.
• Work-Life Balance: Leave work at the school gates! Enjoy the energy of the classroom with no "take-home" planning, staff meetings, or end-of-term assessments.
• Weekly Pay: Competitive daily rates of £100 - 160, paid every Friday via Randstad.

Your Role as an EYFS Lead

As an EYFS Supply Teacher, you are the guardian of a child's first educational experiences, ensuring a safe and stimulating environment for exploration.

• Holistic Development: Support the three prime areas-Communication and Language, Physical Development, and PSED-through engaging, age-appropriate activities.
• Early Literacy & Numeracy: Deliver high-energy Phonics and early maths sessions that build confidence and "school readiness."
• Creative Environment Management: Adapt quickly to different indoor and outdoor learning spaces, ensuring all health and safety standards are met while maintaining a fun atmosphere.
• Collaborative Support: Work seamlessly with Nursery Nurses and Teaching Assistants to provide a consistent and caring routine for every child.

Essential Requirements

We are looking for qualified professionals with a genuine heart for Early Years. You are an ideal fit if you:

• Hold QTS: You have Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with a specialisation or significant experience in EYFS/Early Years.
• Are an EYFS Expert: You have a deep understanding of the EYFS statutory framework and the "Characteristics of Effective Learning."
• Are High-Energy & Patient: You can lead a "dough disco," settle a restless group during storytime, and manage personal care needs with a positive attitude.
• Are Committed: You hold an enhanced DBS on the update service (or are willing to apply) and are 100% dedicated to Safeguarding.
