Job Description

Maths Lecturer

Temporary | Contract

Location: the South West

Start date: 25 August 2026

About the Role

A further education provider in the South West is looking for a Maths Lecturer to deliver engaging teaching to learners studying Maths alongside their main programme of study.

You'll plan and deliver lessons to learners of mixed abilities, many of whom are working towards a Grade 4, helping them close gaps in their knowledge and build the numeracy skills they need for work, life and further study.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Delivering engaging and accessible Maths lessons to learners of mixed abilities.
  • Planning schemes of work, lesson resources and assessments.
  • Tracking learner progress, marking work and providing timely feedback.
  • Supporting learners with gaps in knowledge, building confidence and motivation.
  • Working collaboratively with the Maths team and wider curriculum staff.
  • Maintaining high standards of classroom management and a positive learning environment.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A Maths-specific qualification or strong numeracy background
  • Experience teaching Maths within further education or secondary education
  • Ability to differentiate and adapt teaching to varied learning needs
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills, and the ability to inspire learners

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised teaching qualification such as QTS, QTLS, PGCE, CertEd, DET or a Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training
  • Strong understanding of the GCSE specification and effective resit strategies

If you're ready to help learners achieve in Maths and grow in confidence, we'd love to hear from you.
