About the Role

About You

We are looking to recruit a highly motivated FE Lecturer in Maths to join our dynamic English and Maths team who can teach across a range of qualifications including Functional Skills and GCSE. Whether you’re newly qualified or bring years of teaching experience, we welcome applicants with the drive to make a lasting impact on learners’ achievement and confidence in maths.

You will have proven experience of delivering engaging, effective teaching to post-16 learners, with a clear focus on supporting high-quality outcomes for all students. Your ability to adapt your approach to meet diverse learner needs, motivate those who may find maths challenging, and foster a positive, inclusive classroom environment will be essential.

You’ll have a strong understanding of the qualifications associated with post-16 maths, including Functional Skills and GCSE, and keep up to date with current developments in education and curriculum reform.

While the role will primarily be classroom-based, we also require someone confident in using digital platforms such as Microsoft Teams or Blackboard to enhance teaching and learning.
