You will be part of a highly successful team of dedicated Maths staff delivering GCSE and Functional Skills Maths at Accrington and Rossendale College along with inspiring your students to achieve their best.

Part of our core strategic intent is to ensure that our learners are English and maths enabled and subsequently there is whole college approach to – and ownership of – English and maths. All Maths teachers are well-qualified and have expert knowledge of the subject and we also continue to invest in teachers' ongoing professional development.
