Are you a passionate Maths Teacher who believes that numbers can open doors and build confidence? Do you thrive on finding creative ways to connect with students who have faced barriers in traditional classrooms?

• Foster a structured, inclusive, and safe classroom environment
• Support students’ emotional and social development alongside academic progress
• Collaborate with SENCOs, support staff, and pastoral teams to implement individualised learning plans
• Promote positive behaviour and help students regulate and express their emotions constructively

We’re Looking For:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS/QTLS) or equivalent
• Previous experience teaching students with additional needs (SEN, PRU, or alternative provision preferred)
• Strong classroom and behaviour management skills
• A flexible, creative, and empathetic approach to teaching
• Enhanced DBS (Child or Child & Adult Workforce), or willingness to obtain one
• A genuine enthusiasm for making Maths engaging, relevant, and empowering
