Could you be the Maths Teacher who helps a young person believe in themselves again? First For Education is recruiting for a dedicated Maths Teacher to join a specialist independent school in Kidderminster, supporting pupils aged 11–16 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.
For some young people, Maths can represent years of frustration, disengagement or a lack of confidence. We're looking for someone who can change that experience.
The school is seeking a teacher who can combine strong subject knowledge with empathy, creativity and an understanding of the individual challenges young people with additional needs may face.
This is a full-time, long-term opportunity with the intention of developing into a permanent position for the right person.
The Role
- Plan and deliver engaging, accessible Maths lessons across the secondary age range.
- Differentiate teaching to accommodate varying academic abilities and individual learning needs.
- Help pupils develop confidence in numeracy, problem-solving and practical mathematical skills.
- Build positive relationships with pupils who may have experienced difficulties in mainstream education.
- Create a calm, consistent and supportive learning environment.
- Work collaboratively with the wider school team to support pupils' academic, social and emotional development.
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an appropriate teaching qualification.
- Strong Maths subject knowledge and secondary teaching experience.
- Experience supporting pupils with SEND, SEMH or within alternative provision is highly desirable.
- The ability to adapt teaching methods and make learning accessible.
- A calm, patient and resilient approach to classroom management.
- Someone who understands that progress isn't always measured purely through academic results.
Why Apply?
- Join a specialist provision where relationships and individual progress are central to learning.
- Opportunity to make a genuine difference to young people who need consistency and encouragement.
- Full-time, long-term position with potential for permanent employment.
- Competitive pay aligned with experience and qualifications.
- Weekly PAYE payments during the agency placement.
- Dedicated support from First For Education throughout the recruitment process.
