About EDClass:
EDClass is a DfE accredited online alternative provision that provides both live teaching and independent, personalised learning experiences for students
who are unable to attend mainstream school – including those with medical needs, anxiety or exclusion.
EDClass is dedicated to providing high-quality, flexible, and supportive learning experiences for all students. We believe in fostering a positive and
engaging educational environment where students can thrive.
“It is vital that despite the wrong choices the student may have made, they are offered a chance to continue their learning and education
during what can be a very difficult time. Students are promptly placed on a seat on EDClass and are set relevant work that they would otherwise
miss out on.” – Scott Sweeney, BBG Academy.
Our commitment to safeguarding is a cornerstone of our provision and this was recognised by the DfE in our accreditation visit:
“Safeguarding lies at the heart of all things in this setting.” EDClass is committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and young
people. To be successful in this role, you must be eligible to receive a DBS check that is relevant to the post.
The Opportunity:
We are seeking passionate, creative and adaptive maths teachers to join our growing teaching team.
This is an exciting opportunity for experienced maths teachers who are ready to step outside of the traditional classroom, but still have the desire to deliver
meaningful, high-impact learning to classes of up to 16 students. Based in our Head Office in Sheffield, you will work with a team of like-minded educators to
plan and deliver engaging online maths lessons for students to access both live and independently. You’ll have the freedom and autonomy to design immersive and flexible content, and work with our videographer to bring maths to life outside of the office.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a tech-savvy educator with a flair for creating fun and interesting learning experiences, whilst enjoying an excellent work-life balance.
Teachers at EDClass have a daily schedule that incorporates: live teaching sessions with classes of up to 16 students; curriculum time for planning and
creating content for students to access independently; time to plan for filming on-location and to request edits on footage already filmed; marking and
providing feedback to students on their work; CPD for areas of development.

●Maintain professional working relationship with students and colleagues.
“Since EDClass has been implemented at Merrill Academy, we have seen an increase in student engagement when they are unable to attend the
Academy. It has been an invaluable resource within our SEND and safeguarding teams as some students who have struggled to access the
academy, have had work provided during their difficult periods. This has meant that they did not develop meaningful gaps in their education so
could reintegrate easily.” - Adele Chilton, Merrill Academy.
