The position will focus mainly on Functional Skills Maths, with some GCSE Maths teaching where appropriate (or a willingness to develop in this area). You will support students with a range of needs, including SEND, helping them to re-engage with education and build confidence in numeracy.

• Track and communicate student progress with the Specialism Coordinator
• Maintain accurate records and adapt teaching strategies accordingly
• Contribute to EHCP reviews, reports and personalised provision planning
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to provide holistic support for learners

We are looking for someone who:

• Has strong knowledge of Maths (Functional Skills and GCSE)
• Is passionate about working in an alternative provision setting
• Can engage and support learners with SEND and varied learning needs
• Is patient, empathetic, and committed to building positive relationships
• Is flexible, creative, and able to adapt teaching approaches

• QTS, PGCE or equivalent - preferred but not essential
• Alternatively, relevant tutoring or teaching experience will be considered where strong practical skills are demonstrated
• Confidence delivering Maths at GCSE level (or willingness to develop)
• Experience working with SEND students - desirable
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• Enhanced DBS (within 12 months) or willingness to obtain one
