Mathematics Teacher

Every child deserves access to an education that truly resonates with who they are. For some pupils, particularly those who are neurodiverse, this means learning that’s not just accessible, but deeply personalised. That’s where your passion and creativity as a teacher come in.

In this role, you’ll be working closely with children and young people who may have additional needs related to communication, cognition, sensory processing, or physical development. Your mission? To make learning come alive especially in Maths.

You’ll deliver Maths sessions to small groups or individual pupils, using inventive, hands-on approaches that spark curiosity and build confidence. Think maths games that turn numbers into adventures or cooking sessions where weighing and measuring become real-world problem-solving. Whether it’s baking to learn fractions or building with blocks to explore geometry, you’ll find ways to make maths fun, relevant, and empowering.

We don’t follow a one-size-fits-all model. Our curriculum is shaped around each pupil’s unique strengths, interests, and aspirations. While some may work toward formal qualifications, others will thrive through experiential learning and life skills. We celebrate progress in all its forms—academic, emotional, social, and practical.

With class sizes typically around five pupils, you’ll have the space to build genuine relationships and tailor your teaching to each learner. You’ll also have the opportunity to teach across subjects, bringing your creativity and care into every corner of the classroom.

This is more than a teaching role—it’s a chance to change lives. To help children discover their potential, feel seen and supported, and develop the skills they need to thrive in adulthood.

A day in the life of a Maths Teacher will involve:

• Leading classroom activities including planning, teaching and assessing learning, particularly with ‘your’ class. This might involve teaching a range of curriculum areas and providing pastoral support.
• Monitoring and recording progress, both academically and against EHCP outcomes.
• Working closely with pupils to maintain their engagement, motivation and to inspire them to reach their full potential.
• Supporting individual pupils or smaller groups to help them achieve their learning goals.
• Fostering positive relationships with Teaching Assistants in the school and ensuring that the team around the pupil is effective.
• Supporting team members with delivery of Maths across the school.

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

• An ability to teach Maths to Level 2 (GCSE/Functional Skills).
• Patience, compassion and resilience in how you interact with our pupils and team members.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills are important in this role as you’ll be speaking to a lot of different people at different times.
• A driving licence and a willingness to take pupils on trips within the school vehicles.
• A genuine interest in a career within this sector.

In return for your time, you’ll get:

• Holidays – You’ll only work term time (39.2 weeks), and get paid the additional 12.8 weeks whilst you’re off.
• Pension scheme– Our pension scheme is based on you paying in 5%, and us adding 3%.
• Learning & Development Opportunities – We provide comprehensive learning opportunities for team members to develop themselves.
• Discounts – You’ll have access to brilliant discounts through the Blue Light Card and our own employee benefits platform.
• Wellbeing Support – Your wellbeing is always our priority. You’ll have access to mental health and wellbeing support. On top of this, our therapies team offers a monthly confidential check in clinic, and group reflective practice sessions.
• Cycle2Work -The cycle to work scheme enables you to buy a bicycle at a discounted rate.
• DBS – As this role required you to have an enhanced DBS carried out, we will cover this cost.
• After 12 months service - You’ll be eligible for our Medicash scheme which covers a wide range of medical, health and wellbeing expenses (Including immediate access to a GP!). You’ll get life assurance paid at 2 x your annual salary, and even more high street discounts.

As part of our commitment to safer recruitment, successful applicants will undergo pre-employment checks, including an enhanced DBS, online and social media checks, and reference validation. Due to the nature of our work, we are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974), so we may ask you to disclose any spent or unspent criminal convictions during recruitment. This disclosure does not automatically disqualify you, and we encourage transparency at the application stage.

At Phoenix Learning and Care, we are committed to diversity and creating an inclusive environment where all team members feel safe to be themselves without risk of discrimination. We believe that a diverse workforce strengthens our organisation, and we strive to ensure everyone can contribute authentically and openly.
