Maths Tutor - permanent (Permanent)

This is a remote based role providing online learning

We are the highest Ofsted-rated provider in the country for special education and care. As we expand our offer through our innovative Inclusion Services online provision, we remain driven by the same belief, that even the smallest positive changes in our young people matter. Our teams are fulfilled by those huge small victories, whether that’s a learner re-engaging with education online, building confidence in a subject they once avoided, or taking meaningful steps towards reintegration and positive outcomes.

For children and young people with complex needs, the level of care and education we provide must go above and beyond. Through our high staff-to-child ratios, in-house clinical teams and now our flexible, high-quality digital provision for pupils who cannot access mainstream education, we’re proud to have built a reputation for excellence and market-leading Ofsted ratings.

As Lead Maths Tutor within our Inclusion Services online provision, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering high-quality, engaging Maths education for young people who need a different approach. This is more than an online teaching role. You’ll contribute to curriculum design, develop interactive digital resources, support the testing and refinement of our delivery platform, and work collaboratively with clinical and education colleagues to create a calm, safe and aspirational learning environment. You’ll teach small groups and individual learners, building confidence, resilience and progress while helping to establish a provision that is innovative, flexible and truly inclusive.

To succeed, you’ll need strong subject expertise in Maths and experience of teaching at Key Stage 3 and 4, ideally with confidence in online delivery. You’ll bring a reflective, adaptable approach and a genuine understanding of pupils who find mainstream education challenging, including those with SEND or SEMH needs. Just as importantly, you’ll share our commitment to safeguarding and to educating the whole child, combining high expectations with empathy, patience and professionalism. In return, you’ll have the opportunity to influence a growing provision and progress as it expands.

Our young people come from all walks of life, diverse backgrounds and with different needs – and our workforce reflects that diversity, so that our teams can engage, encourage and inspire our young people to be themselves.

Qualified Teacher Status (or equivalent) with strong Maths expertise at KS3 and KS4 (KS5 desirable).
Experience delivering engaging, high-quality teaching, ideally within online or digital settings.
Proven ability to design and adapt curriculum content into interactive, accessible learning resources.
Strong understanding of pupils with SEND, SEMH or those disengaged from mainstream education.
Confidence in assessing progress and using data to inform teaching and support outcomes.
A collaborative, reflective approach and unwavering commitment to safeguarding and educating the whole child.
