About the Role

Our students have a range of additional needs, including SEND, ASD and SEMH, and need a teacher who can inspire confidence, build positive relationships and help them rediscover a love of learning. This is more than a teaching role. You'll be part of a dedicated and supportive team that prioritises student progress, wellbeing and achievement. With smaller class sizes, a collaborative approach and the freedom to adapt your teaching, you'll have the time and space to make a genuine impact every day. Whether you're already working within specialist education or you're an experienced Maths Teacher looking for a more meaningful and rewarding career path, we'd love to hear from you.

• Deliver engaging and creative Maths lessons tailored to individual student needs
• Build positive relationships that support confidence, engagement and achievement
• Monitor progress and adapt teaching strategies to help every student succeed
• Create a calm, safe and structured learning environment
• Work collaboratively with colleagues, families and external professionals
• Contribute to curriculum development and school improvement initiatives
• Champion high standards of safeguarding, wellbeing and inclusion

What you will bring

We're looking for a passionate and resilient Maths Teacher who believes every young person can succeed with the right support.

• QTS or equivalent teaching qualification
• Experience teaching Maths at secondary level
• A student-centred approach with high expectations for all learners
• Strong relationship-building and communication skills
• Experience of, or an interest in, SEND, ASD and SEMH education
• The ability to motivate, engage and inspire students who may have experienced barriers to learning
• A commitment to safeguarding, inclusion and helping young people achieve their full potential
