Connex Education is working with a wide range of supportive primary schools across Sheffield to recruit enthusiastic Primary Teachers for day-to-day supply and long-term positions throughout the academic year.

Whether you’re an experienced teacher looking for a better work-life balance or an Early Career Teacher (ECT) wanting to develop your classroom experience, we’ll work with you to identify opportunities that match your preferred year groups, availability and career aspirations.

With opportunities across EYFS, Key Stage 1 (KS1) and Key Stage 2 (KS2) and September 2026 starts available, now is a great time to explore your next teaching opportunity in Sheffield.

For most day-to-day supply assignments, lesson planning is not required, allowing you to concentrate on delivering high-quality teaching and providing continuity for pupils.
