Role: Maths Teacher or Science Teacher (Specialist)
Location: Stoke-on-Trent (Independent SEMH School)
Salary: Daily rate based on experience (dependent on experience)
Contract: Full-time, Long-term (with potential to become permanent)
Start: ASAP / Negotiable

Inspire, engage, and make a lasting impact in a specialist SEMH setting. An independent SEMH school in Stoke-on-Trent is seeking a qualified Maths or Science Teacher to join their team on a long-term basis, with the potential for a permanent appointment. This is a fantastic opportunity for a subject specialist who wants to work in a smaller, nurturing environment where strong relationships and consistent support are central to student success. The school supports pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs, many of whom require a structured, therapeutic and highly relational approach to learning.

Key Responsibilities:

• Plan and deliver engaging Maths or Science lessons tailored to individual learning needs
• Differentiate effectively to support pupils working at varying academic levels
• Build positive, consistent relationships with pupils
• Work collaboratively with pastoral and support staff
• Contribute to a calm, structured, and nurturing learning environment

What We’re Looking For:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Strong subject knowledge in Maths or Science
• Experience in SEMH, alternative provision, or specialist settings is desirable but not essential
• Mainstream teachers seeking a new challenge are strongly encouraged to apply
• Resilient, adaptable, and relationship-driven practitioners
• High expectations alongside a nurturing approach

This role would suit a confident teacher looking to move into a specialist setting, or an experienced SEMH practitioner seeking a long-term opportunity with progression potential. Smaller class sizes, high staff-to-student ratios, and strong leadership support make this an excellent environment for teachers wanting to focus on impact over paperwork.
