What the role looks like
You’ll be teaching Maths in small, well-supported classes where relationships matter just as much as results. Expect to work closely with SENCOs, therapists, and a caring team who genuinely want the best for every pupil.
You’ll be:

Breaking down concepts so they feel achievable, not overwhelming

Creating lessons that build confidence and spark curiosity
-
Supporting learners with needs such as autism, ADHD, SEMH or MLD
-
Using structure and consistency to help pupils feel safe and ready to learn
-
Celebrating every win, no matter how big or small

-
A Maths specialist who loves the subject and knows how to adapt it
-
Someone patient, steady, and unshakeably positive
-
SEN experience is ideal, but not essential if you’ve got the right approach
-
UK QTS or FE/Unqualified teachers with strong experience welcome
-
A team-player who wants to make school feel like a safe place for every child
