Job Description

Maths Lecturer

Temporary | Contract

Location: the North East

Start date: 5 October 2026

Are you a maths specialist who enjoys helping learners build the numeracy skills they need for work and further study?

About the Role

You'll join a further education provider in the North East, teaching maths to learners across a range of study programmes. Many will be working towards a Grade 4, and you'll support them to close gaps in their knowledge and grow in confidence along the way.

You'll plan and deliver lessons to groups of mixed ability, track progress and work alongside the wider maths team.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Delivering engaging and accessible maths lessons to learners of mixed abilities.
  • Planning and preparing schemes of work, lesson resources and assessments.
  • Marking work, tracking learner progress and providing timely feedback.
  • Supporting students with gaps in their 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:

  • Experience teaching maths within further education or secondary education
  • A maths-specific qualification or a strong numeracy background
  • Ability to differentiate and adapt your teaching to varied learning needs
  • Strong communication and organisational skills

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised UK teaching qualification such as QTS, QTLS, PGCE, CertEd, DET or a Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training
  • Experience supporting resit learners

If you're ready to help learners succeed in maths, we'd love to hear from you.
