Are you a passionate maths tutor looking for a role where your teaching genuinely makes a difference?

About the Role

We are seeking an inspiring Maths Tutor to join our Justice Services team, delivering meaningful learning within a prison education setting. This is a unique opportunity to support learners on their rehabilitation journey, helping them develop the skills, confidence and qualifications needed to progress into employment and build brighter futures.

As a Maths Tutor, you'll deliver engaging and inclusive lessons to learners with a wide range of educational backgrounds, learning needs and abilities. You'll use innovative teaching approaches, adaptive learning techniques and digital resources to make maths relevant, accessible and enjoyable.

You'll work with individuals who may have had difficult experiences of education, so patience, empathy and a genuine belief in each learner's potential matter as much as subject knowledge.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering functional skills maths qualifications to groups of learners.

• Conducting initial assessments and diagnostics to identify individual starting points and learning needs.

• Planning and adapting inclusive lessons to support diverse abilities, including low literacy and additional learning needs.

• Monitoring progress and providing constructive feedback to support achievement.

• Maintaining accurate records of attendance, progress and outcomes.

• Creating a positive, inclusive and effective learning environment that motivates learners.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• A relevant maths qualification or strong subject knowledge

• The ability to engage and motivate learners of varying abilities

• A patient, adaptable and inclusive approach to teaching

• A genuine commitment to education as a route to rehabilitation

Desirable (but not essential):

• Experience of teaching functional skills maths

• Experience of working in a prison or secure education setting

• A recognised teaching qualification

About You

We're looking for someone who:

• Believes in the power of education to change lives

• Can adapt their teaching to meet a wide range of needs

• Communicates with warmth, clarity and professionalism

• Thrives in a challenging and rewarding environment

If you're ready to help learners build brighter futures through maths, we'd love to hear from you.
