EYFS Teacher - Rotherham

Are you a committed and imaginative EYFS Teacher seeking temporary, flexible and ongoing work in Rotherham?

About the Role

As an EYFS Teacher, you will support children's early social, emotional and academic development by delivering engaging EYFS-aligned learning opportunities and encouraging high levels of independence through structured play.
