About the Role
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.

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.

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
Who We’re Looking For
We want a qualified, enthusiastic Maths teacher who is passionate about supporting every learner to reach their potential. You’re resilient, adaptable, and thrive in a fast-paced, rewarding environment where no two days are the same.
Essential:
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
Resilient, solutions-focused, and adaptable
Excellent communication and teamwork skills
Commitment to inclusive practice and high expectations
