Job description:
Some kids don’t hate maths. They just hate how it’s been taught to them.
Big classes. Endless worksheets. No chance to ask for help without feeling stupid.
No wonder some of them give up.
That’s where you come in.
We’re looking for a Maths Intervention Teacher to work in specialist learning hubs across the Mansfield area.
These aren’t mainstream classrooms – they’re small, calm groups where students get the support (and time) they’ve been missing.
You’ll be teaching 1:1 or groups of 4–8 students, helping them rebuild the basics, fill the gaps, and – ideally – stop seeing maths as something to fear.
It won’t be easy. Some students have been out of school. Some have zero confidence.
But when you see a kid go from “I can’t do this” to “Oh, I get it now” because you found a way to make it click – that’s the payoff.
The deal:
* Long-term, full-time role (starting September – we’ll wait for the right person)
* £150–£180 a day
* Based in nurture-focused hubs, not crowded classrooms
* Supportive team who understand how to work with these learners
What you’ll need:
* QTS or PGCE
* Confidence teaching maths flexibly across different ages and abilities
* Patience, creativity, and resilience – these kids will test you before they trust you
* The willingness to ditch the one-size-fits-all approach if it isn’t working
If you want to follow the same old scheme of work and churn through a curriculum, this probably isn’t for you.
If you want to teach in a way that actually makes a difference – with time, space, and support to do it right – it probably is.
Come and see the hubs, meet the team, and decide for yourself.
Apply now – and start teaching maths the way you wish you were allowed to
