At Outcomes First Group, we believe in better work/life balance and are putting wellbeing first. Many of our schools have already introduced the 4DWW, and others will soon join in. At Crookhey Hall, we do more than teach Maths; we inspire young people to believe in themselves and achieve their best.

We are seeking a passionate, energetic, and innovative Maths Teacher who is ready to lead, inspire, and make a real difference for pupils with SEMH and ASD. This is more than a teaching role; it’s an opportunity to take ownership of the Maths curriculum, drive whole-school improvement, and create learning experiences that spark curiosity, confidence, and achievement.

As our new Maths Teacher, you will:

• Deliver engaging, tailored lessons to pupils with complex needs while leading the development of Maths across the school.
• Help pupils who may have struggled with traditional education to build confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning.
• Work alongside a dedicated team, supported by a strong safeguarding culture where pupils are heard, respected, and empowered.
• Uphold professional teaching standards, lead by example, and drive creative approaches to learning and assessment.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering stimulating and accessible Maths lessons for pupils with SEMH and ASD.
• Leading and developing the school's Maths provision, including curriculum, assessment, and interventions.
• Building confidence, curiosity, and engagement in pupils who may have disengaged from learning.
• Collaborating across the school to ensure a cross-curricular, inclusive approach to Maths.
• Monitoring pupil progress, tracking data, and implementing strategies to raise attainment.
• Championing numeracy across the school, from classroom practice to whole-school events.
• Acting as a visible role model, demonstrating excellent teaching and leadership in Maths.
• Contributing to the school's strong safeguarding and pastoral support culture.

We want a qualified, enthusiastic Maths teacher who is passionate about supporting every learner to reach their potential:

• QTS and experience teaching Maths.
• Full UK Driving Licence.
• Passion for working with pupils with SEMH and ASD.
• Strong subject knowledge and the ability to lead Maths across the school.
• Ability to inspire and motivate pupils and colleagues.
• Proven track record of raising attainment in Maths.
• Experience supporting pupils from challenging backgrounds.

If you’re ready to lead, inspire, and make Maths come alive, join Crookhey Hall and help our pupils achieve more than they ever imagined.
