Maths Teacher / Tutor - On Track Education Services Ltd

On Track Education provides specialist education for young people with diverse and complex needs. Established in 2004 by a dedicated team of Special Educational Needs (SEN) teachers, we now operate nine independent schools across England. At the heart of our philosophy is a commitment to providing a nurturing, personalised, and needs-led educational experience, aiming to restore young people’s self-confidence and self-motivation through flexible programmes that combine academic, vocational, and outdoor learning opportunities.

On Track Education Totnes is a DfE-registered co-educational day school which provides specialist education for pupils aged 11-19 years across two well-equipped sites in South Devon. Designed for students with a range of special educational needs, the school delivers small group and one-to-one learning within a nurturing, therapeutic environment. Its broad and balanced curriculum is underpinned by the principles of THRIVE® and tailored to develop emotional well-being, resilience and real-world skills. With strong, supportive relationships between staff and pupils, On Track Totnes helps every young person to thrive, both in learning and in life.

We are looking for a dedicated and engaging Tutor who can deliver high-quality teaching and support across a broad curriculum. Key responsibilities include:

• Will need to do outreach, be a driver with own vehicle.
• Ability to teach Maths up to GCSE level, and general subjects.
• Ensuring pupils build knowledge and skills that lead to meaningful progress.
• Planning and delivering an inspiring, high-quality curriculum that supports pupils to enjoy learning, achieve well, and move confidently towards clearly defined end points.
• Teaching clear, structured lessons that embed key concepts in pupils’ long-term memory and support outstanding progress.
• Setting personalised learning targets for each pupil, considering prior attainment, individual needs, and their broader developmental goals.
• Working collaboratively with the Head Teacher and leadership team to deliver a curriculum that builds knowledge systematically and meets the needs of all pupils.
• Regularly assessing and monitoring pupil understanding, using assessment outcomes to inform teaching and guide timely, targeted interventions.
• Planning with a clear focus on the SEN for each pupil, creating inclusive and accessible learning experiences that support both academic and personal development.

You’ll be someone who thrives in a supportive, SEN-focused environment and brings creativity, resilience and commitment to everything you do. Ideally, you will:

• Hold a recognised teaching qualification (QTS, QTLS, PGCE preferred) with proven teaching experience.
• Have experience working in a SEN setting and understand the importance of a flexible, pupil-centred approach.
• Be skilled in planning and delivering curriculum content using a variety of teaching styles and methods to engage and inspire diverse learners.
• Show commitment to inclusive practice, positive behaviour management, and helping pupils overcome barriers to learning.
• Hold a full driving licence and have access to your own car, as the role involves travel between school sites, including the satellite base, and delivering 1:1 outreach across South Devon.
• Teaching early literacy would be an advantage.

Salary & benefits: £25,410 - £36,300 per annum, dependent on qualifications and experience. Company benefits include online GP access, free eye tests and flu jabs.

Working hours: Full-time hours: Monday to Friday, between 8:15am and 4:45pm.
