• Identifying gaps in student understanding and adapting sessions accordingly
• Tracking and monitoring student progress and feeding back to class teachers

• Liaising with the Maths department and SENCO to ensure a joined-up approach
• Upholding safeguarding responsibilities at all times

What we're looking for:

• A strong Maths background — a degree, teaching experience, or a numeracy-focused support qualification
• Experience delivering interventions or tutoring in a school setting is desirable
• Patient, methodical, and confident working with students who find Maths challenging
• Ability to make Maths accessible and rebuild student confidence in the subject
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service

What Teaching Personnel offers:

• Competitive daily rates
• Weekly pay via PAYE
• Dedicated consultant support
• Free CPD and professional development
