Maths Teacher

How would you like to be paid for five days but only work four? Our colleagues’ wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at OFG, so we’re always looking for new ways to improve everyone’s work/life balance. We’re taking part in a trial of the 4-Day Working Week, meaning that you could be working one day less a week (or equivalent). 4DWW will be rolled out within our school, when we have a full complement of staff, and within the next year – so there’s never been a more exciting time to join us #teamOFG!

Do you want to work in a dynamic and innovative environment? Do you have a passion for supporting pupils to achieve their full potential? Do you want a great work life balance? Then join our close-knit team at Baston House School, a specialist ASC provision in Bromley, Kent.

Location: Baston House School, Bromley, Kent, BR2 7AB

Salary: Up to £45,000.00 per annum depending on experience (not pro rata)

Hours: 37.5 hours per week; Monday to Friday 8.30am-4.30pm

Contract: Permanent; Term time only

Start date: September 2025

As part of our continued growth, we now have a fantastic opportunity for a Maths Teacher to join us at Baston House School. Baston House School is proud to offer support to a broad range of pupils with complex needs. With a high ratio of staff to pupils we have the time to build real relationships with our young people and offer a welcoming and nurturing environment.

The role:

• As a dynamic and motivated qualified teacher, you already have a passion for making a difference in the lives of pupils and young people.
• You will plan and deliver engaging learning on a daily basis, developing exciting and innovative methods that stimulate interest and excitement in the classroom.
• Working as a Teacher with us is not your average teaching role. At Options Autism, you are able to work creatively, making the most of all the extensive resources and expert support we have available.
• Our class sizes are small, so you are able to create a nurturing learning environment designed around each individual’s needs, spending quality time with each pupil.
• You will observe, monitor and assess them, making sure their personal development and wellbeing are as important as the academic curriculum.

Who we are looking for:

• You will be a passionate teacher and a great communicator, as comfortable talking to pupils and young people with autism, learning difficulties and complex needs as you are with contributing to the school’s vision and direction.
• Our schools are unique environments, each one having its own special atmosphere and range of opportunities and resources.
• Our Teachers enjoy becoming part of their school’s ‘family’, exploring the potential of the building and environment and getting to know the brilliant pupils and young people in our care.
• You will enjoy building these caring relationships as well as liaising with fellow professionals, whether they are colleagues in the same school or they work in the pupils’ previous educational establishments.

Qualifications Required: UK QTS
