We are seeking an inspiring and resilient Maths Teacher to work with Key Stage 4 students who have Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Many of the young people we support have experienced barriers to learning, including exclusion or the risk of exclusion from mainstream education.

This role would suit someone who can build positive, trusting relationships with young people and who approaches challenges with patience, empathy and understanding. You will join a highly collaborative and supportive team that is committed to helping every student succeed, no matter their starting point.

You will teach Maths to small groups of students, supporting them to achieve Functional Skills and/or GCSE qualifications. Your work will play a vital role in preparing students for successful next steps, including further education, training and apprenticeships. Full training and ongoing professional development will be provided.

What You'll Be Doing

• Teaching Maths to Key Stage 4 students in an alternative provision setting.
• Supporting students with SEMH needs who have experienced difficulties in mainstream education.
• Building strong, positive relationships with young people through consistency, care and understanding.
• Demonstrating flexibility, resilience and a positive attitude when responding to challenges.
• Working collaboratively within an inclusive team focused on achieving positive outcomes for students.
• Delivering engaging lessons to small groups, enabling students to achieve Functional Skills and/or GCSE qualifications.
• Supporting students to progress into further education, employment or apprenticeship opportunities.
• Participating in ongoing training and professional development.

Middle Leadership Responsibilities

As part of this role, you will contribute to the leadership of the Key Stage 4 provision. Working closely with senior leaders, you will help ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the provision, build strong relationships with families and external agencies, and support colleagues in delivering the highest standards of care and education.

You will play a key role in creating an environment where young people feel valued, develop a sense of belonging, and learn to treat themselves and others with kindness and respect.

Who We're Looking For

• A passionate and committed Maths teacher who believes every young person can achieve.
• Someone who can develop positive, trusting relationships with students through patience, empathy and understanding.
• A collaborative team player who works effectively with colleagues, families and external professionals.
• A confident practitioner with the ability to support the leadership and development of a Key Stage 4 provision.
• Experience working with young people with additional needs is desirable, but not essential.
• Good working knowledge of basic IT systems and software.
