Job description

Maths Teacher

We are looking for an outstanding teacher of Mathematics to join our experienced and passionate staff team. The successful candidate will teach Mathematics to Key Stage 3 and GCSE - the ability to offer Mathematics or Further Mathematics to A-Level would be advantageous, but not essential.

Our focus is firmly placed on academic excellence for all within a non-selective school. Worksop College is entering an exciting phase in its development, and we therefore wish to recruit dynamic and self-starting staff to work with us in fulfilling our aims and objectives.

A pastoral leadership position may be available for the right candidate and interested candidates should make their interest and experience clear on their application.

Where we are

Set in 400 acres of stunning North Nottinghamshire woodland, Worksop College and Ranby House has the benefit of a sprawling campus, with some of the best facilities in the county. The major cities of Sheffield, Doncaster and Nottingham are an easily commutable distance and give the school a secure and rural feel, whilst enjoying a comfortable proximity to city life.

In addition, Worksop’s location on the edge of Clumber Park and with ease of access to the A1, M1 and East Coast mainline make it an ideal place to live and work. Major university cities Leeds and York are easily accessed by road or rail, as are Newcastle, Edinburgh or London, allowing for academic visits or personal enjoyment in the generous holidays. The Peaks, the Dales, even the Borders are also within easy reach.

Pastoral care

In addition to the academic role, every teacher at Worksop is expected to contribute fully to the wider aspects of education. Worksop College is renowned for the quality of its pastoral care and all teachers are attached to one of the eight boarding or day houses.

Extra-curricular

All members of staff at Worksop are expected to play a full part in extra-curricular activities. These embrace a full range of sports, music, societies, expeditions, drama, many forms of art and technology, CCF, voluntary service, and a wide range of hobbies.

The Role

• Teach Key Stage 3 & GCSE Mathematics classes.
• Contribute to the development of the super-curricular life and offer of the department.
• Promote resilience, adaptability, and independence through teaching.
• Teach engaging and motivating lessons informed by high expectations of students and designed to raise levels of attainment.
• Teach challenging, well-organised lessons and sequences of lessons across the age and ability range they teach.
• Know how to use skills in literacy, numeracy and ICT to support their teaching and wider professional activities.
• Offer support to the learning, pastoral and co-curricular needs of the individual students through the House system as a tutor, and the co-curricular programme.
• Maintain an up-to-date knowledge and understanding of the professional duties of teachers and the statutory framework within which they work.
• Communicate effectively with students, colleagues and parents, giving timely and relevant information about attainment, progress and well-being.
• Design opportunities for learners to develop their literacy, numeracy, ICT, personal, learning, emotional and thinking skills.
• Contribute towards the planning and running of trips and organising speakers to come into school and the wider pursuit of scholarship.
• Plan, set and assess prep, other out-of-class assignments and coursework for examinations, where appropriate, to sustain learners' progress and to extend and consolidate their learning.
• Have a good, up-to-date working knowledge and understanding of a range of teaching, learning and behaviour management strategies.

• have experience teaching Key Stage 3 and GCSE Mathematics: A-Level experience would be advantageous
