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 warm, community-focused, and rapidly improving faith-based secondary academy (Church of England), 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 inclusive faith academy is dedicated to cultivating an ambitious, values-driven learning environment where every student is challenged to achieve their full academic potential while developing strong moral character. As a forward-thinking school with an excellent local reputation and a deeply supportive community ethos, we blend rigorous academic standards with outstanding pastoral care. 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 evidence-based pedagogy. 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 local 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 & Values-Driven Ethos: An unwavering commitment to comprehensive, values-based 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

• An Industrial Heartland Driving Digital Transformation and Clean Energy: Based in the resilient and rapidly evolving town of Middlesbrough, the school capitalizes on a powerful regional identity deeply rooted in world-class industrial heritage. As the absolute urban heart of the Teesside region, the area is undergoing an exciting economic renaissance driven by the Teesside Freeport, digital tech sectors, and pioneering clean energy initiatives like Net Zero Teesside. This provides a fantastic, real-world backdrop for applied mathematical logistics, structural engineering logic, and modern data science, connecting classroom numeracy directly to regional infrastructure renewal and future professional career paths.

• Connectivity & Infrastructure: The campus benefits from excellent Tees Valley transport infrastructure, offering straightforward road commuting via the strategic A19 and A66 dual carriageways, which provide rapid access to the nearby A1(M) corridor. Public transit networks operate seamlessly via comprehensive local bus routes across Middlesbrough, Stockton, and Redcar, while Middlesbrough railway station serves as a major regional transport hub, providing high-frequency Northern and TransPennine Express services that connect the school effortlessly to Darlington, Hartlepool, Newcastle, York, and Leeds.
