    You’ll have the chance to promote maths in a positive way across the school. Not just through teaching but through fun inspiring learning, such as Maths Bingo or Shape Treasure Hunts! This is your chance to be creative and make learning fun.

    We have some incredibly talented pupils who have a real passion for numbers, like you do! They would really enjoy and benefit from the expertise and enhanced provision you can provide. You’ll also have the chance to create inspirational ways to make maths enjoyable for those who may not enjoy the subject as much through small groups or 1:1 sessions.  

    As we are a small school, you’ll need to teach other subjects as part of your daily routine. Typically, classes are made up of four pupils, so you’ll have the chance to really get to know the pupils you support and connect with them.

    You’ll work with neurodiverse children and young people (Aged between 7 - 16) that have additional needs related to communication and interaction, cognition, and learning, sensory and/or physical.

    • Working closely with Teaching Assistants to direct them to effectively support the pupils.
    • Supporting team members with delivery of maths across the school, and having oversight of the subject as a whole

     

    To be a successful Lead Teacher of Maths, you’ll need:

    • An ability to teach maths to Level 2 (GCSE/Functional Skills)
    • Patience, compassion, and resilience – The pupils you teach will be neurodiverse, which can impact their learning behaviour and communication needs.
    • Great communication skills – Both verbal and written communication is important in this role as you’ll be speaking to a lot of different people at different times. You’ll need to be able to contribute to a range of resources as well as share information effectively.
    • A driving licence — Our pupils love to learn in a wide range of settings. We need you to drive them to where they need to go. We have the cars; you need the licence.
    • A genuine interest in a career focused on the education of people with a wide range of needs.
