At St Cuthbert’s Catholic High School, Mathematics is more than a subject. It is a way of helping young people make sense of the world, think critically, solve problems with confidence, and develop the resilience needed to succeed in life. We are seeking an outstanding Teacher of Mathematics to join our thriving department and play a key role in our mission of forming great men.

This is an opportunity to do more than teach Mathematics. It is a chance to inspire curiosity, foster ambition, and help shape the character of the young people in your care. We welcome boys of all faiths and none and strive to ensure that every pupil leaves us equipped not only with strong qualifications, but also with the competence, conscience, compassion, and commitment to make a positive difference in the world.

We are looking for a passionate teacher who can bring Mathematics to life, delivering lessons that engage, challenge, and inspire. You will help pupils see the relevance and power of Mathematics beyond the classroom, while maintaining the highest standards of teaching and learning. Above all, you will recognise that great teaching is about nurturing character and aspiration as well as academic success.

In return, you will join a highly supportive and ambitious Mathematics department within a school that has been educating young people with distinction for over 140 years. As part of the Bishop Bewick Catholic Education Trust, you will benefit from extensive collaboration, professional development opportunities, and a strong network of expertise. Whether you are an Early Career Teacher or an experienced practitioner seeking a fresh challenge, St Cuthbert’s offers an environment in which you can thrive and make a lasting difference.

If you are passionate about Mathematics and committed to helping young people achieve their full potential, we would be delighted to hear from you. Join us and help shape the next generation of great men.
