About the role

Are you a passionate, creative EYFS teacher who believes in the power of play, curiosity and early connection? Heart of Supply is recruiting enthusiastic early years teachers for full-time and long-term opportunities across Lincoln and the surrounding areas, starting January 2026.

Whether you’re looking to build your experience through supply or step into a longer-term post, we’ll connect you with nurturing school environments where your approach to child-led learning is truly valued.

These schools offer well-resourced classrooms, strong leadership, and a culture where creativity and emotional wellbeing go hand in hand with progress and development.

You’ll be part of school communities that understand the importance of those all-important first years, where children are encouraged to explore, express themselves and build meaningful relationships. As a Heart of Supply educator, you’ll also receive ongoing support, flexible opportunities and the chance to grow your career on your terms.

* Access to exclusive teaching opportunities across Lincolnshire

* A friendly, experienced consultant who genuinely listens

* Free CPD and ongoing professional development

* A simple, generous ‘Refer a Friend’ scheme

* A warm, people-first agency that puts your journey at the heart of everything we do
