CORE PURPOSE

We require an inspiring, highly methodical Mathematics Teacher to deliver outstanding numeracy and mathematical instruction across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, with opportunities to contribute to post-16 advanced analytical pathways. Operating within a vibrant, rapidly improving, and oversubscribed community academy, the successful candidate will facilitate a structured, mastery-led curriculum designed to foster deep conceptual understanding, algebraic fluency, and robust problem-solving skills, preparing all pupils thoroughly for exceptional outcomes in terminal GCSE Mathematics public examinations.

THE SCHOOL

Our community academy is dedicated to cultivating an ambitious and highly academic learning environment where every student is challenged to achieve their full potential. As a forward-thinking school with a rapidly growing local reputation and a strong community ethos, we blend rigorous academic standards with a supportive, inclusive atmosphere. The mathematics department is characterized by a culture of intellectual curiosity, shared resources, and collaborative planning, where teachers enjoy significant investment in professional development and bespoke coaching. We operate a highly supportive, centralized behaviour system that minimizes classroom disruption, allowing teachers to focus entirely on delivering high-impact, deeply engaging mathematical instruction to enthusiastic learners.

KEY TASKS & DAILY OPERATIONS

• Rigorous & Mastery-Led Instruction: Plan, resource, and deliver high-impact mathematics lessons across all attainment pathways, systematically embedding concrete-pictorial-abstract frameworks to demystify complex algebraic, geometric, and statistical concepts.

• Problem-Solving & Reasoning Scaffolding: Train pupils to a high technical standard in breaking down multi-step word problems and non-routine mathematical proofs, utilizing structured logical templates to build resilience and examination stamina.

• GCSE Performance Optimization: Guide Year 11 examination cohorts meticulously through the rigorous demands of linear terminal Higher and Foundation tier papers, utilizing diagnostic data tracking to eliminate persistent mathematical misconceptions and maximize high-grade retention.

• Closing Numeracy & Progress Gaps: Identify and target learning barriers within mixed-ability cohorts, deploying explicit mathematical intervention strategies, targeted scaffolding, and structured retrieval practice to ensure accessibility for SEND pupils while stretching high-prior-attaining mathematicians.

• Inclusive Pastoral Support: Fulfil full form tutor responsibilities within an established year group structure, supporting pupil wellbeing, managing daily registration routines, and maintaining proactive, positive communication with families.

PROFILE REQUIREMENTS

• Qualifications: Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or a recognised equivalent teaching credential, paired with a strong honours degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, or a closely related quantitative or scientific discipline.

• Pedagogical Capability: A proven track record or clear capacity to deliver strong progress metrics and exceptional performance outcomes in terminal public GCSE specifications through highly structured, systematic, and explicit mathematics pedagogy.

• Analytical & Supportive Ethos: An unwavering commitment to comprehensive education, possessing the exceptional communication skills, patience, and logical clarity required to challenge high-attaining pupils while building mathematical confidence in pupils of all backgrounds.

REGIONAL CONTEXT

• A Diverse Second City Driving Innovation and Modern Growth: Based in the dynamic, multicultural city of Birmingham, the school capitalizes on a world-class regional identity that proudly serves as a major commercial hub and international cultural capital. As a city undergoing sweeping urban regeneration, modern tech expansion, and financial sector growth, Birmingham presents an inspiring backdrop for young people. The local landscape provides an exceptional, real-world backdrop for applied mathematical logistics, corporate engineering, and digital enterprise, connecting classroom numeracy directly to active regional renewal and future professional career paths.

• Connectivity & Infrastructure: The campus benefits from premium West Midlands transport infrastructure, offering straightforward road commuting via the strategic M6, M5, and M42 motorway corridors, alongside major trunk routes like the A38(M) and A456. Public transit networks operate flawlessly across the metropolitan area, utilizing extensive Transport for West Midlands bus networks and the modern West Midlands Metro tram infrastructure, while Birmingham New Street, Moor Street, and Snow Hill railway stations serve as major national transport hubs, providing high-frequency rail services that connect the school effortlessly to Solihull, Coventry, Wolverhampton, and the wider UK network.
