Teach Maths & Science. Change Lives.

Are you a qualified teacheror a Cover Supervisor who can deliver Maths and Science up to GCSE level, looking for a role where relationships matter more than results tables?

We're recruiting a Maths & Science Teacher for a well-established Alternative Provision in Leeds, supporting primary and secondary-aged pupils with SEMH needs. Many of the pupils have been excluded from mainstream education due to trauma, medical needs, anxiety, or challenging behaviour - and are now ready for a fresh start with the right teacher.

This is a highly rewarding role for a calm, resilient educator who believes in restorative practice, consistency, and second chances.

About the Provision

• Small class sizes (typically 6-8 pupils)
• Strong pastoral and behaviour support in place
• Focus on re-engagement, confidence building, and emotional regulation
• Flexible, trauma-informed approach to teaching and learning
• Supportive leadership team that genuinely prioritises staff wellbeing

Your Role Will Include:

• Teaching Maths and Science across KS2-KS4, including GCSE level
• Planning & Delivering engaging, differentiated lessons tailored to individual needs
• Supporting pupils with SEMH, trauma, anxiety, and behavioural challenges
• Building strong, trusting relationships to support re-engagement in learning
• Working closely with behaviour mentors, therapists, and pastoral staff
• Supporting pupils to develop academic skills, resilience, and self-belief

We're Looking For:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS/QTLS or equivalent)
• Ability to teach Maths and Science up to GCSE level
• Experience in SEMH, Alternative Provision, PRU, SEND, or mainstream with behaviour challenges
• A calm, patient, and emotionally intelligent teaching style
• Confidence managing challenging behaviour using trauma-informed strategies
• Commitment to helping pupils who need stability, consistency, and care

Why This Role Stands Out:

Pay up to MPS/UPS (£140+ per day)
Small class sizes = meaningful teaching
Strong work-life balance compared to mainstream
Excellent support from pastoral and behaviour teams
Ongoing training in SEMH, trauma-informed practice, and behaviour management
Make a genuine difference to pupils who need it most

Who This Role Is Perfect For:

• Maths or Science Teachers seeking less pressure and more impact
• Teachers with experience in SEMH, PRUs, or Alternative Provision
• Mainstream teachers looking for smaller classes and better balance
• Educators passionate about restorative practice and inclusive education
