About the role: Maths Teacher

Activate Learning are now looking for an enthusiastic and inspiring Maths teacher to work at Guildford College, helping our students to achieve success in GCSE maths and statistics, and Level 3 Core maths qualifications.

This post provides an excellent opportunity for a teacher with passion and drive, who is committed to enabling our students to unlock their potential and switch on to the power of learning. We welcome applications from newly qualified teachers, or from graduates who are looking to get into teaching.

Additionally, you will contribute to the development of the curriculum and resources for GCSE Maths and statistics, participate in departmental meetings, parent evenings, and school events, and support extracurricular activities or clubs related to the subject area.

This is a permanent, part-time position working 27 hours per week (0.72 FTE) based at Guildford College.

As a Maths Teacher, if you are in your first 5 years of teaching in Further Education, you may be eligible to apply for an additional payment of up to £6000 from the levelling up premium payment scheme. Learn more here: Levelling up premium payments for FE teachers - GOV.UK

For this role you will need the following:

• A level 3 qualification in maths or a related subject
• A teaching qualification, or willingness to work towards one
• Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills
