Maths Teacher in Bridgwater

The Levels School is an Independent Specialist Day School offering high quality education and exemplary pastoral care to students with a range of complex, specific learning differences that may include speech, language, and communication needs. Our teaching and learning provision would also meet the needs of individuals presenting with a similar learning profile to those with dyslexia and other Speech and Language Communication difficulties.

An opportunity has arisen for a Maths teacher at The Levels School full-time from September 26 (Possibility for an earlier start can be discussed at Interview). We are interested in appointing the right person to complement our staff team. There is the potential opportunity for increased responsibility for the right candidate. An ability to offer another subject e.g. ICT, Business Studies, Geography is always desirable.

Main Responsibilities:

• The successful candidate will need to be motivated and enthusiastic.
• You will be joining a committed and dedicated team that have high expectations for students and work hard to ensure they achieve their maximum outcomes.
• As a Maths Teacher at The Levels School, you will be working under the direction of the Maths Lead and the Head teacher and alongside the SENDCo in delivering the curriculum and providing pastoral support to our students.
• The successful candidate will be experienced across KS3 and KS4.

• Students follow IGCSE Maths at The Levels School.
• You will be able to demonstrate a range of multi-sensory teaching techniques and be prepared to go above and beyond for the young people we support.

It is important that you are ambitious for our students and have a desire to problem solve and work as a cog in a small team to unpick the nature of their SEND so that strategies can be put in place to allow each student to achieve their maximum potential. You will have the opportunity to work as part of a supportive team, working in a dynamic environment where you can make a real difference. This is an excellent opportunity for candidates from mainstream or specialist education.

The Ideal Candidate:
