Location: Tower Hamlets, East/Inner London

School Type: Secondary School & Sixth Form (Co-educational, Ofsted Rated 'Outstanding')

Contract: Full-Time, Permanent or Fixed-Term

Start Date: Immediate / ASAP or January Start

An Ofsted-rated 'Outstanding' secondary school and Sixth Form in the heart of Tower Hamlets (Inner London) is seeking an articulate, highly analytical, and dynamic Teacher of Mathematics to join their flagship STEM & Mathematical Sciences faculty. Situated adjacent to London’s global financial hubs, this flagship department offers an extraordinary environment for a Maths specialist, whether an experienced practitioner eager to teach Further Mathematics and A-Level Mechanics/Statistics, or an ambitious Early Career Teacher (ECT), to foster mathematical fluency, problem-solving mastery, and academic rigor across a high-achieving student body.

About the Role

As a Teacher of Mathematics, you will transform abstract theorems, algebraic logic, calculus, and data handling into compelling, accessible, and high-rigor learning experiences. Joining an elite, highly collaborative department with a track record of top-tier progress scores, you will deliver rich lessons across Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 (GCSE Mathematics / Further Maths), and Key Stage 5 (A-Level Mathematics / A-Level Further Mathematics / Core Maths), preparing students to excel in national examinations and pursue competitive STEM pathways at premier universities.

• Environment: A state-of-the-art Inner London secondary campus featuring dedicated mathematics suites, interactive numerical modeling software, advanced data-logging suites, and direct partnerships with university mathematics departments

• Culture: An academically ambitious, high-expectation setting where mathematical curiosity, logical reasoning, collaborative problem-solving, and scholar extension are deeply embedded

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and deliver academically rigorous, engaging Mathematics lessons across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5 covering pure mathematics, mechanics, statistics, problem-solving heuristics, and quantitative logic.

• Prepare GCSE and A-Level candidates thoroughly for national written papers through explicit modeling of multi-step proofs, exam techniques, and data-driven progress tracking.

• Foster a culture of deep mathematical inquiry where students build confidence, resilience in tackling complex problems, and fluency in mathematical communication.

• Track, evaluate, and monitor pupil progress systematically, executing targeted extension strategies to stretch high-aspiring mathematicians targeting Oxbridge/Russell Group STEM courses while scaffolding core skills for developing learners.

• Contribute actively to departmental enrichment, including UKMT Maths Challenge coaching, Senior Maths Society, chess and logic clubs, and university masterclasses.

Requirements

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

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

• Proven track record or demonstrated capability of delivering outstanding Mathematics instruction across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (KS5/A-Level & Further Maths teaching experience is highly desirable).

• Thorough knowledge of national examination board specifications (e.g., Edexcel, AQA, OCR) and evidence-informed mathematical mastery approaches.

• Outstanding classroom presence, strong analytical communication skills, and an infectious enthusiasm for mathematical concepts and problem-solving.

Salary & Benefits

• Pay Scale: Inner London Main / Upper Pay Scale (MPS/UPS Inner London, commensurate with experience), with potential TLR opportunities available for Key Stage 5 Maths Lead, Further Maths Coordinator, or STEM Enrichment Lead.

• Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS), comprehensive continuous professional development (CPD), structured executive mentoring pathways, and access to staff health and wellbeing programs.
