Early Years Teacher 🌈📚

Finger painting before 9am, story time magic, and celebrating the little wins that make a huge difference… sound familiar?

We’re looking for a qualified Early Years Teacher in Darlington who knows that the best learning often happens through play, curiosity, and a little bit of organised chaos.

There are lovely opportunities to join welcoming Early Years settings where children are encouraged to explore, grow, and build confidence from day one.

What we’re looking for:

✔ Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or recognised Early Years teaching qualification
✔ Level 2, 3, or 4 Early Years qualification or a degree in Early Childhood Studies
✔ Experience working within Early Years or EYFS settings
✔ A DBS registered on the Update Service
✔ Someone warm, creative, and ready to make learning exciting every single day

What your role will involve:

🧸 Delivering engaging EYFS lessons and activities
📖 Supporting children’s early development through play-based learning
🌟 Creating a safe, nurturing, and inspiring classroom environment
🤝 Working closely with support staff and families
🎨 Encouraging curiosity, confidence, and those all-important first milestones

Why work with Protocol Education?

💷 Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella company faff
📚 FREE access to our CPD Academy
🤝 Friendly support from your own dedicated consultant
🏫 Opportunities across nurseries, schools, and specialist settings
🚀 Simple registration and local placements

Early Years Teachers do far more than teach ABCs and numbers. You’re building confidence, sparking imagination, and helping children fall in love with learning from the very start.

If you’re ready for a role where no two days are the same, we’d love to hear from you.

📩 Apply today and let’s find you a school where you can truly shine.

* Pay rate dependant on experience and qualifications.
