Curriculum Support Coach - Maths

If you are looking to further your career at a groundbreaking and award-winning College, we’d love to hear from you!

We are looking for someone who can build strong rapport with post-16 learners, reduce maths anxiety and provide effective support to help students develop their skills, confidence and engagement with Maths.

Working alongside our Maths teaching team, you will provide targeted coaching and intervention for students, primarily those working towards GCSE Maths. This may include one-to-one and small-group support, helping students address gaps in their knowledge, prepare for assessments and examinations, and develop the confidence and resilience needed to make progress. There may also be opportunities to support students working towards Functional Skills Maths where required.

You will join a high-performing and supportive Maths department, working closely with experienced teachers to identify students who would benefit most from additional support. You will have access to regular CPD from our in-house Teaching, Learning & Innovation team, alongside excellent resources including iPads and CTouch interactive boards.

We are particularly interested in applicants who can motivate students who may have previously struggled with Maths and who can adapt their approach to meet a range of individual needs. An ability to establish positive relationships with young people and encourage them to engage consistently with their Maths studies will be central to the role.

While we are keen to appoint to the role on a full-time, permanent basis, we recognise that it may also appeal to someone looking to gain experience working in Maths education. We would therefore welcome applications from candidates interested in discussing alternative working arrangements, including part-time or fixed-term opportunities. This could be particularly suitable for someone considering a future career in Maths teaching and looking to develop their experience within a supportive Further Education environment.

If you are driven to support student success, keen to develop your own practice and excited to contribute to a thriving, forward-thinking team, we would love to hear from you. So, do you want to work in a strong department at a financially outstanding college and make a genuine difference to the future progression of students? If you do, please apply now.
