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.
