Teacher of Mathematics (Full Time Maternity Cover) in Lancaster

At Outcomes First Group, we believe in better work/life balance and are putting wellbeing first. That’s why we are proud to be part of a 4-Day Working Week (4DWW) trial, where you can work one day less each week (or equivalent hours), while still receiving your full-time pay. Many of our schools have already introduced the 4DWW and others are preparing to roll it out as soon as they reach full staffing.

Are you ready to ignite a love of Maths and unlock potential in every pupil? At Crookhey Hall, we do more than teach Maths; we inspire young people to believe in themselves and achieve their best. We’re 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’ll deliver engaging, tailored lessons to pupils with complex needs while leading the development of Maths across the school. You’ll help pupils who may have struggled with traditional education to build confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning. You’ll work alongside a dedicated team, supported by a strong safeguarding culture where pupils are heard, respected, and empowered.

Under the guidance of the Deputy Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team, you will uphold professional teaching standards, lead by example, and drive creative approaches to learning and assessment.

• Deliver stimulating and accessible Maths lessons for pupils with SEMH and ASD
• Lead and develop the school's Maths provision, including curriculum, assessment, and interventions
• Build confidence, curiosity, and engagement in pupils who may have disengaged from learning
• Collaborate across the school to ensure a cross-curricular, inclusive approach to Maths
• Monitor pupil progress, track data, and implement strategies to raise attainment
• Champion numeracy across the school, from classroom practice to whole-school events
• Act as a visible role model, demonstrating excellent teaching and leadership in Maths
• Contribute 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

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.
