Are you a Head of Maths committed to improving the lives of children and young people?

We are looking for a Head of Maths Teacher to join our fantastic team at The Grange Therapeutic School, Oakham. As the Head of Maths, you will take a creative approach to teaching pupils according to their educational needs, ensuring delivery of the school curriculum in a way that maximises children's achievement and ability to develop.

We are looking for someone with experience of delivering KS3 and KS4 Maths and able to plan, implement, review and develop the Maths curriculum to ensure the provision is responsive to individual learning needs and reflects national standards. The ideal candidate will ensure a balanced curricular approach that will encourage and reward participation in learning through achievement and progression.

This is a great opportunity for a Head of Maths who wants to spend less time on paperwork and more time developing creative learning opportunities for children with varied and complex needs. Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure and you will be working in a school where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible.

When it comes to looking after our children, we never settle for second best. We are looking for a Head of Maths, who shares our vision to build incredible futures by empowering vulnerable young people in the UK, to be happy and to make their way in the world.

Whilst previous experience of working in an SEN environment would be desirable, excellent teaching and leadership skills and the right motivation, personal qualities and levels of resilience are just as important.

Educated to degree level and/or of Qualified Teacher Status, you will be calm, engaging, resilient, and have an innovative style of teaching, motivated by helping every child to reach their potential.

We offer the chance to teach in an environment where the emphasis is on excellent classroom practice with groups of up to 6 pupils and relationships are the key to success. Therefore, we need hardworking, child centred staff who are resilient and willing to go the extra mile. In return we offer significant investment in your professional development, a supportive staff group and opportunities for progression for ambitious staff.

Acorn Education & Care is the UK's leading independent provider of specialist education and residential care for vulnerable children and young people. As part of Outcomes First Group, we are leading our sector in setting and delivering new approaches that provide measurable outcomes for those in our care.
