A high-achieving, forward-thinking secondary school and Sixth Form in the London Borough of Havering is seeking a sharp, analytical, and dynamic Teacher of Mathematics to join their thriving STEM faculty. This is an outstanding opportunity for a maths specialist, whether an experienced practitioner aiming to deliver high-level A-Level modules or an ambitious Early Career Teacher (ECT), to cultivate mathematical confidence, logical problem-solving, and numerical fluency across a high-aspiring student body.

About the Role

As a Teacher of Mathematics, you will transform abstract mathematical concepts into engaging, accessible, and applicable mental models. Joining a collaborative department, you will deliver structured, high-rigor lessons across Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 (GCSE Mathematics), and Key Stage 5 (A-Level Mathematics / Core Maths / Further Maths), fostering deep algebraic, geometric, and statistical understanding.

• Environment: A supportive Outer London secondary school equipped with interactive learning technology, dedicated STEM suites, and a strong whole-school commitment to quantitative skills

• Culture: A collaborative, well-resourced Mathematics department featuring shared digital lesson frameworks, structured numeracy interventions, and supportive departmental leadership

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and deliver academically rich, engaging Mathematics lessons across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5 that build conceptual fluency, analytical thinking, and multi-step problem-solving skills.

• Prepare GCSE and A-Level candidates thoroughly for national examinations using data-driven progress tracking, targeted exam technique coaching, and diagnostic feedback routines.

• Embed real-world mathematical applications, financial reasoning, and cross-curricular STEM links into daily learning to ignite curiosity and build confidence.

• Track, evaluate, and monitor student progress, implementing targeted interventions to stretch high-aspiring mathematicians while scaffolding core numeracy for developing learners.

• Contribute positively to department enrichment, such as UKMT Maths Challenge preparation, logic and chess clubs, maths mentoring schemes, and university STEM application support.

Requirements

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an equivalent recognized teaching credential.

• A strong academic degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, Physics, or a closely related quantitative discipline.

• Demonstrated track record or capability of delivering outstanding Mathematics teaching across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (KS5/A-Level Pure, Mechanics, or Statistics experience is highly desirable).

• In-depth knowledge of national Mathematics examination board specifications (e.g., Edexcel, AQA, OCR).

• Excellent classroom presence, refined questioning techniques, and an infectious enthusiasm for mathematical inquiry and problem-solving.

Salary & Benefits

• Pay Scale: Outer London Main / Upper Pay Scale (MPS/UPS Outer London, commensurate with experience), with potential TLR opportunities available for Key Stage Coordination or Whole-School Numeracy Leadership.

• Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS), comprehensive continuous professional development (CPD), structured onboarding, and access to staff health and wellbeing schemes.
