Are you looking for a role that's a little different and truly inspiring?

We are seeking a Maths Teacher to join our small, enthusiastic team in a unique farm-based setting. Our school is a small SEND independent provision supporting 60 students with EHCPs. We use animals, including horses and small animals, as part of our therapeutic approach to supporting students with SEMH needs.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a passionate teacher who wants to make a genuine difference to young people's lives whilst teaching in a supportive, nurturing and highly rewarding environment.

About Us

Changing Lives Independent School is a specialist independent provision located in Carrington, Trafford. We support students aged 11-19, all of whom have Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). Many of our students have experienced significant barriers to education and require a personalised approach to learning that builds confidence, resilience and self-belief.

Our small class sizes, therapeutic ethos and strong relationships enable students to thrive both academically and personally. We offer a broad curriculum from Entry Level through to GCSE, alongside therapeutic interventions, life skills opportunities and animal-assisted learning experiences that help students develop emotionally as well as academically.

The Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and creative Maths Teacher who can inspire students to engage with mathematics and achieve their full potential. You will be responsible for planning and delivering engaging lessons that meet the diverse needs of learners, helping students build confidence while developing essential mathematical knowledge and skills.

• Assess, monitor and record student progress, ensuring appropriate challenge and support.

• Create a positive and engaging learning environment where students feel safe and valued.

• Work collaboratively with pastoral staff, therapists and families to support student development.

• Contribute to EHCP reviews and target setting.

• Support students in developing confidence, resilience and problem-solving skills.

• Contribute positively to the wider life of the school.

We Are Looking For Someone Who:

• Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an equivalent teaching qualification.

• Has strong subject knowledge in Mathematics.

• Has experience of teaching students with SEND and/or SEMH needs, or a willingness to develop expertise in this area.
