The College has exceptional teaching, learning and recreational facilities contained within a beautiful campus.
This is an exciting time to be joining Sir John Deane's Sixth Form College and the Sir John Brunner Foundation Multi Academy Trust, which collectively educates over 4300 children, and employs over 450 professionals.

About the Role
As a teacher at our sixth form college, you will play a key role in delivering engaging and challenging lessons that inspire academic excellence and independent thinking, teaching 16–19 year olds in A level Mathematics and A level Statistics. We do not teach GCSE Mathematics. Collaboration with colleagues to develop innovative teaching strategies and tailored support is essential. This role also involves contributing to the wider college community through enrichment activities and academic mentoring.
Your Responsibilities
Please see the attached job description for the full responsibilities of this role.
What we are looking for
Sir John Deane's seeks to appoint an enthusiastic teacher to contribute to the work of this thriving department.
The Mathematics Department is the largest in the College with outstanding outcomes in all three subjects offered: A level Mathematics, A level Further Mathematics and A level Statistics.
We welcome applications from teachers with experience. A Level experience is not an essential requirement; we are seeking to appoint an individual with a strong background in Maths who loves to teach and who has a passion for all aspects of the subject.
The person appointed must be willing to:
* bring impactful and evidence-informed approaches to their teaching;
* work as a member of a team, sharing ideas and resources;
* develop relationships with students based upon equality, respect, joy and high aspirations
We are proud that the Sir John Deane's name has enhanced the career of many colleagues and, together with the professional development we provide, has allowed them to progress into middle and senior management positions. As part of the Sir John Brunner Foundation Multi-Academy Trust, over time, the College will be able to provide professional opportunities in good and outstanding local high schools to help you further develop your career.
In the first instance this is a one-year fixed term contract, although the College is currently seeking to permanently expand the Mathematics Department next academic year due a strong growth of students studying Mathematics.
Closing Date: 25th September 2025 – 9am
Interview Date: 2nd October 2025
