Job Description

Maths Lecturer

Temporary | Contract

Location: the South East

Start date: 6 October 2026

About the Role

A further education provider is looking for a Maths Lecturer to deliver high-quality teaching to learners studying Maths as part of their wider study programme. You'll support students of mixed abilities to build confidence, close gaps in knowledge and develop the numeracy skills they need for work, further study and everyday life.

You'll join a collaborative curriculum team where good planning, clear feedback and a positive classroom culture make the difference to learner outcomes.

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.
  • 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:

  • Experience teaching Maths within further education or secondary education
  • A Maths-specific qualification or strong numeracy background
  • 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 UK teaching qualification such as QTS, QTLS, PGCE, CertEd, DET or a Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training
  • Understanding of the GCSE specification and effective resit strategies

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