Early Years Lecturer (Temporary)

Early Years Lecturer

Temporary

Location: the East of England

Start date: 16 November 2026

Are you an experienced early years professional looking to pass your knowledge on to the next generation of practitioners?

About the role

You'll plan, deliver and assess engaging early years programmes for a further education provider, combining practical, sector-focused teaching with the underpinning theory learners need to succeed.

Working across a range of levels, you'll bring your sector experience into the classroom, helping learners build the knowledge, skills and confidence that employers value. You'll create a supportive and inclusive learning environment, monitor learner progress and adapt your teaching to meet the needs of a diverse group of learners.

If you come from the sector rather than teaching, that's welcome. Our client offers support to help you move into education and develop as a lecturer.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Planning, delivering and assessing early years programmes across a range of levels.
• Preparing schemes of work, lesson plans and learning resources.
• Monitoring learner progress and providing timely, constructive feedback.
• Creating an inclusive classroom environment that supports every learner.
• Keeping accurate records of attendance, assessment and achievement.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Relevant occupational experience in early years
• A relevant qualification in early years or a related field
• Ability to engage and motivate learners across a range of levels

Desirable (but not essential):

• A recognised teaching qualification
• Previous experience of teaching or assessing in further education

If you're ready to bring your early years experience into the classroom, we'd love to hear from you.
