• Teaching and learning: Deliver engaging maths sessions covering key GCSE topics, including number, algebra, ratio, geometry, statistics and problem-solving.

• Building relationships: Develop positive, professional relationships with learners, encouraging trust, respect, motivation and a positive attitude towards education.

• Supporting learners with additional needs: Adapt lessons and resources to support learners with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties, as well as gaps in prior learning.

• Monitoring progress: Assess learners' understanding, track progress and identify areas requiring further intervention or additional support.

• Exam preparation: Prepare learners for GCSE Maths resit examinations through targeted revision, exam-style questions, mock assessments and focused intervention.

• Creating resources: Develop appropriate teaching materials, worksheets, starter activities, plenaries and individual learning resources.

• Promoting engagement: Use creative and practical teaching strategies to encourage participation, improve attendance and reduce disengagement.

• Maintaining a safe learning environment: Follow safeguarding procedures, behaviour policies, health and safety guidance and organisational expectations.

• Working collaboratively: Liaise with tutors, behaviour teams, pastoral staff, support workers and other professionals to ensure learners receive consistent support.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Strong behaviour management skills and the ability to remain calm, professional and consistent under pressure.

• A good understanding of GCSE Maths, ideally with experience supporting or delivering maths resit provision.

• The ability to plan, prepare and deliver structured, differentiated lessons.

• Excellent communication, relationship-building and conflict-resolution skills.

• A patient, resilient and flexible approach to supporting learners with complex barriers to education.

• The ability to motivate disengaged learners and promote positive attitudes towards learning.

• A commitment to safeguarding, inclusion and improving educational outcomes for all learners.

A relevant HLTA qualification, teaching qualification or substantial experience in a similar educational setting would be advantageous.

We are looking for someone who is:

• Resilient, proactive and solution-focused.

• Confident in managing challenging classroom environments.

• Passionate about helping learners overcome barriers to education.

• Organised, with strong lesson-planning and preparation skills.

• Able to balance empathy and understanding with firm, consistent boundaries.

• Creative in adapting teaching methods to engage learners who may struggle in a traditional classroom setting.

• Committed to raising aspirations, improving achievement and helping learners progress into further education, training or employment.
